LaCie's XtremKey tested... emotionally (video)

Look, we all know that the wusses at the Engadget HQ couldn't put a dent in LaCie's ultra-rugged XtremKey, not even if their moms packed handguns in their fanny packs alongside the Fruit Roll-Ups, Mace, and wads of PR bribe cash. So we decided to take a different angle in testing the drive: we decided to bum it out. Watch the video after the break.

Nice!

[statickeith Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:26PM]

@HansImGlueck haha, its actually funny!

[a dumb cat Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:36PM]

@HansImGlueck

But will it blend?

[Lord Vader Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:41PM]

@HansImGlueck. The force is strong with this video

[DoctarPeppar Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:54PM]

@a dumb cat
I do not think they can blend this one..

[Lord Vader Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:56PM]

@DoctarPeppar I find your lack of faith disturbing

[Jukah Posted Jul 16th 2010 7:38PM]

@statickeith
It made me laugh harder than 3 years of CollegeHumor combined. Favorit part is when Paul is rocking out in front of the computer.

[pankomputerek Posted Jul 16th 2010 8:12PM]

@a dumb cat

That is the question.

[bacon Posted Jul 16th 2010 8:50PM]

@HansImGlueck you sick bastards

[DCTenor1 Posted Jul 16th 2010 8:50PM]

@HansImGlueck WHY IS THIS NOT ON ALT

Seriously, you guys made Alt for this very thing.

sigh

[Joe Cool Posted Jul 16th 2010 11:32PM]

@HansImGlueck
I think it's funny how I showed my wife this video and she didn't get it :)

@Jukah Dude no offense but 3 years of CH combined? I don't know about all that.

[Count Dooku Posted Jul 17th 2010 1:11PM]

@Lord Vader You have much to learn about the will of the force, young Vader.

[SolidSnake Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:19PM]

Seek help Paul. NOW

[tobsmonster2 Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:24PM]

@SolidSnake
I second this, wtf was that dancing about and yes it breaks my spirit also when room mates drink from the carton/bottle.

[bolezhinkov Posted Jul 16th 2010 8:07PM]

@SolidSnake

this is what happens when josh leaves the office to cover apple stuff, I guess.

[gargle Posted Jul 17th 2010 5:48AM]

When the cat is away, the mouse will play! But that video was funny :D

[Matistight Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:19PM]

Is video missing from iPhone app?

[SolidSnake Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:39PM]

@Matistight
No, it's in flash.
Fortunately for me, engadget's videos work for me (i have frash for my iPad). One of the few sites with working video. Works great!

[Vincent Posted Jul 16th 2010 7:07PM]

@Matistight Actually, that Videos work fine on iOS.

[JimmyBoy Posted Jul 16th 2010 7:54PM]

@SolidSnake Yea just noticed that also, using frash on iPad works for this video

[systox Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:20PM]

alt. now.

[satish Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:21PM]

Did you **** the xtreme key after you switched off the light? on the pillow :D

[DefusedHero Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:21PM]

You guys went through all that, for that video?
... .. lol?

[Mic2000 Posted Jul 17th 2010 4:54AM]

@DefusedHero Looked like test 2 was inspired by the mocumentary of The Office

[VAVA Mk 2 Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:22PM]

Hey Fruit Roll Ups are awesome! So is Fruit by the Foot!

[Frostyeel Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:22PM]

That was amazing. I chortled furiously.

[SteveJrRi Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:22PM]

happy friday??!!?!?

[MysticLeviathan Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:24PM]

HAHAHA ROFL!!

That was amazing.

There are some things you just cannot break; for everything else there's MasterCard.

[MysticLeviathan Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:25PM]

@MysticLeviathan

I wanna see if Tom Dickson can break it

[SolidSnake Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:40PM]

@MysticLeviathan
Chuck norris can.

[buddytonto Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:24PM]

Test 573....I can't believe you drink straight from the bottle...

[dionelr Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:30PM]

Well yeah, but will it blend?

[guitarkid Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:32PM]

LaCie XtemKey: a key only Chuck Norris can break.

[himynameissam Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:33PM]

engadget needs to do more features like this. this was hilarious.

[ObjCLover Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:35PM]

Try waterboarding it.

[tehslax Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:37PM]

[tonymrep Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:41PM]

I wish I could dress like a hipster and go to work in a Stanley Kubrick film.

[rmbrown09 Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:41PM]

Nice choice of notebooks and phones Engadget

[abedinthehouse Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:45PM]

[inetdevboy Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:47PM]

So. Random.

[Gad Get Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:47PM]

Paul, you so funny!

[SoulinEther Posted Jul 16th 2010 7:04PM]

The ending = :(

[Dante of the Inferno Posted Jul 16th 2010 7:24PM]

Test 107 was just cold.

[NCase Posted Jul 16th 2010 7:26PM]

You cruel, cruel bastards...

I half expected the video to end with LaCie jumping off a tall building, which would be amusing, as it would still work, I presume. XD

[Ursedo Posted Jul 16th 2010 7:34PM]

haha, paul is just so funny

[Chas Percodani Posted Jul 16th 2010 7:41PM]

Best video ever.

[za7ch Posted Jul 16th 2010 7:50PM]

SO GOOD!

[MRCUR Posted Jul 16th 2010 8:06PM]

Excellent work (as always)!
