A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Everyone knows in Brazil they cover their houses with roof tiles, but in Southeast Asia they do it with dog carcases.
@Kurt: No, they don't. They still thinks we speak spanish, our capital is "Buenos Aires" and we have lots and lots of monkeys on the street. And American children send us money to buy doors for our houses :D
Take down this article before Hillary Clinton finds out about it!
No, we need to make sure legislation goes through to ban all objects that look like toys. We need to protect our children by taking away all toys that look like they might be used to attack someone. We should also ban knifes since he used those as well. We should ban anything that looks like a knife so that the cops can be assured of their safety. This article just proves that we need to lock up every human being in controlled rooms and force labor on them. this will have an added side effect of boosting the economy with the influx of cheap labor jobs and items.
Oh, this happened in Brazil? Do they have oil?
@Andir3.0
Shut up. I just can't get why so many people think we still live in the stone age here... And guess what: we aren't as nearly affected by the "world crisis" as Japan or other "1st world" countries.
Sega does what Nintendon't!
yes! :D
Like giving up on hardware business? Yeah I hear you.
Personally, I'd have gone with the Sega Menacer instead. I'd also be humming the theme from ToeJam and Earl just so the cops would think I'm extra nuts.
"Dew dew dew... dewdewdewdew.... dew dew dew dew.. dew dew dew dew."
Dude, it's "pew pew pew!"
Dude, I was doing the opening theme from ToeJam and Earl, not the blaster sound. Yeesh!
Thank god it wasn't a Zapper....
Yeah, man, before you know it that damn dog would be poppin up out of the tall grass, laughing at him.
WHATS WITH THE CAPS LOCK IN THE SOURCE?
Why does every ignorant Myspace lurker feel the need to this? Not to mention the horseshit grammar.
On a side note, when i was about 10, so about 20 years ago, i saw this video game system at a garage sale. It had a gun for it but it looked like a real rifle. It was pretty indistinguishable from a real .22. I thought, "maybe i should get this." then i realized that my birthday was coming up and i was most like goingto get duck hunt so i said, "duck it" (as my cellphone would spell it), i'm just gonna wait for that and get a zapper(mine was the original gray one.
LOLOLOL@ the first comment on the Kanye page
" WOW! BRAZILLIAN IS RIGHT! THEM DEF AINT TOYS THEM SWATS POINTIN AT HIS STUPID ASS THOUGH! IF THAT WAS NYC(shid, or LA even!) HE'D DEF BE ASLEEP ETERNALLY.
ROCK A BYE BABY.
NEW JACK CITY!
THEY COULDA POPPED GOOFY DEAD IN HIS FUCKING MELON ON THAT TOP L FLICK!
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE REALLY BEIN NICE! AGAIN I SAY, WOW. "
fail.
ROFL nice find... trying to read that made my mind numb O.o
not sure i understand the blaze orange zapper, as that thing came out like 10 years after the sega master system light gun. I could understand a coleco vision controller, or even a regular NES zapper in gray, but orange? come on!
What sucks is that he didn't have the 3-D glasses on, so everything was 2-D. Very hard to act threatening when everything is flickering, with missiles flying in your face.
I've been held hostage by Warcraft, or even Civilization III for ten hours, but never a Sega shooter.
the picture on the left needs a caption bubble that says pew pew.
Go to NeoGaf, they have a whole funny thread on this.
"Now, I must kill you! MUHAHAHAHA! Umm...could you hold this TV? Thanks..now you DIE!!!! Pew pew pew pew pew pew!"
Gunna bust a photon in her head.
He should have used a Saga Menacer. The name is more sinister and he could have that he was a terminator sent back through time to kill john connor at his trial. I'm jus' sayin.
...And the woman didn't notice the cord coming out of the bottom of the thing?
hahahah ya true dude
i actually scrolled up to check again.... seems like the dude is sure smart, im guessing he cut it hahaha :)
pew pew
if only this guy would have been wearing the 3D glasses for shades...that would have tkaen the cake.
thank god someone else knows this reference....oh geez those things made me sick!
I can't belive NOBODY said it yet:
"ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!"
WOW ... just WOW!
The guy should have used a strapless Wiimote as a weapon. Think of the property damage...
repost
He was waiting on a headshot that never materialized...
You know, if they were in the anime Zillion, she really would have been in trouble.
@mike, no very funny, what a moronic thing to say. You'll be surprised at how developed most parts of SE Asia are. As for this guy, what an absolute legend!
Somebody probably yelled "GAME OVER" and he stopped...
SEGA fanboy...
I LOL'd
pure awesome!
So it's the cop or the hostage that doesn't play game ?
Sega light gun? How long was he planning this?
According to reports I've read in Brazilian newspapers, on 02/21/2009, at 3:00 AM, the guy, who's 42 years old, entered a house armed with REAL knives and the fake gun. He made all the residents hostage. Hours later, he set 3 people free and kept the 60-year-old lady. He surrended to police at 1:00 PM. One of the residents of the house owed R$ 45 (almost US$ 20) to the criminal. Brazilian cops aren't stupid. The guy had real weapons (the knives) with which he could hurt the hostages.
