For instance, take this guy, who suddenly discovers someone in his family secretly canceled his WoW account, and proceeds to freak the fuck out. This epic video of his reaction is as insane as it is fabulous. Actually, it's so insane and fabulous it almost has to be fake, but between the kid hitting himself in the head with a shoe, throwing himself in the closet not once but twice, and most importantly, trying to shove a remote control up his own ass in rage -- well, I don't actually care if it's not real. And now I know this is how all World of Warcraft players deal with adversity, with no exceptions. Learning is fun!

His animal like screams scare me! And yet I know if many of my friends got their accounts cancelled the reaction would be the same

On the one hand... that looks so fake...
I mean, the ass-remote thingy, the primal screems... on the other hand, were it fake they'd probably have someone will less metal in his mouth do the talking >.>;

I really hope it was staged.
I'm discovering my femininity right here and it's uncomfortable. Because the gamer in me sympathizes, the jerk in me is amused...
and then from nowhere comes this terrible thing that I think they refer to as "maternal instinct" that's making me feel all sad and concerned for the children with their video games....

When I watched this possibly fake video I only had one thought:
"What would he have done if he actually had inserted the remote in to his ass?"
Would the tantrum have ended then and there and the questioning of his sexuality begin?
Would he have shown his parent's this feat to prove his rage?
Or would this had been some sort of stepping stone to complete madness and he would proceed to murder his non-understanding family?
Whatever the case, I now know what to do after I get back from seeing Transformers 2.

Aaron said:
Hmmmm...it's the remote control thing that seems the strangest. He wouldn't have even thought to try it if there wasn't a pre-existing association with sexual pleasure. So I think odds are he's tried that before, and was doing it here in an attempt to make himself feel better.
Doesn't necessarily mean he's gay though. Just that he associates sticking things up his ass with good times.
...kind of like how I associate smiling and having fun with good times.

....I love WoW, but there's no reason to react this way when he could probably get back what he had with some effort.
I mean, all it would require is a big time investment (minus rare drops), which I'm guessing this kid has plenty of time on his hands... >.>

@Spock-Strap "What would he have done if he actually had inserted the remote in to his ass?"
Oh, he would have gone to the local ER, where he would have had to lay around on his belly for a couple of hours while the staff got around to removing the damn thing.
If it was really a slow night, they would have emailed the X-Ray around the medical community for humor value.
Having worked around ERs for a while, you'd be surprised what ends up being inserted in a man's and woman's ass.
Although, if you're reading Topless Robot, maybe not.

My vote: staged to provide evidence that WoW=satanic by some evangelical Christians.
It was staged in any case. It's really unlikely the kid would stay in frame the whole time on the "randomly placed" camera that happened to have perfect coverage of the action. And the timing was a bit perfect, don't ya think?
Or was indie and I the only ones who thought of the exorcist while he was flopping around and fucking himself with a remote?
In any case the true nerd would never, ever, let their parents have control of their WoW account.

If this were my brother, I would totally put it up online. First of all, it would automatically make my account the biggest one on Youtube. Secondly, my brother is an asshole, so it would be just revenge. Thirdly, that is an awesome that words itself cannot possibly explain; how could you RESIST putting it up online?
Of course, I would have blackmailed him with it first... after making a million copies to insure he can't foil my evil plots. Bwaha.
Now, is it real? I don't know. Even after beating himself, he doesn't turn red, and most people, if they are THAT angry, turn a ghastly shade of red or white. He did neither. So biologically, it appears that he is indeed merely acting (however, even acting, he beat himself with a shoe and ran around the room without breaking a sweat or changing colors... quite a feat).
On the other hand, would somebody who was acting attempt to stick a remote up his ass after showing his face several times? I wouldn't. Or if I did, I would leave a comment that I was pretending on the mother site. Imagine when his peers see the video...
Posted 06/23/2009 at 09:39:28 PM
Tabitha said:
Also... people who are pretending to be angry generally throw things and beat things. People who are genuinely angry tend to do as above and randomly thrash, kick, and attack air. I have never seen a pretend tantrum where the guy seemed completely out of ideas on how to release his anger... there was something/someone to beat up, throw out the window, and involved lots of random cussing (remember the Angry XBox kid?).
So, still in the air... for me.

That video was hilarious, but Mr. Bricken, it seems you have a major problem with one of the most nerdy things in nerdery.
Think about it: socially introverted people sitting in chairs alone in front of a computer for hours on end, interacting with other introverts through a created shorthand in a chat log (i.e. LF1M 4 25 EOE, need DPS (pref DK) pst). I haven't even got to the actual subject matter and plot of the game yet!
Time to Embrace Change Rob (to quote a horrible Marvel marketing campaign).

I agree with those who say it was staged. I, like toxic, question how a quickly placed camera can capture the whole rant with the ranter always being in frame and for most part centered in the middle for most of the rant.
Also the way the "brother" appeared to know he had time before the ranter came into the room to tell the viewers why the ranter was ranting, place the camera, and how quick the ranter came in after the "brother" left. After all of the temper tandems I throw I would have been in the door screaming for my brother to get the f**k out and leave me f**k alone, but not when my mom could hear me. Also the room appears to be a single person room so why was the "brother' in it to begin with.
I did like the remote enema attempt and the Nikita Khrushchev moment with the shoe, although it should have been on a table and not his head.

Anyone care to use the above dialogue to subtitle the video when the kid is screaming incoherently?

LOL, nice sequel to the Angry German Kid, but like AGK obviously rehearsed and staged. His brother sure had perfect timing getting the camera put in place just before the tantrum begins, eh? And ended the show with the curious comment "Did you see that?!" Of course WE saw it, dude, but how did YOU see anything, what with the door being shut all the way through the tantrum?
Doesn't matter. Beautifully paced and performed. I look forward to their future pieces.

This is so fake, it hurts.
Just a kid, staging something to gain some notoriety and fame for doing nothing of value, aside from making up something lame.
Then again, he did put some effort into it.
Ok, I take it back, maybe this kid will become a good method actor someday.

to those that doubt the brother had time to run in and set the camera up...
i have an older sister. i ALWAYS knew before her when she was going to get into trouble. i guarantee the brother was sitting at the kitchen table listening in to his parents talk about canceling the account, the entire time giggling with excitement.... now i'm looking back wishing i had a camera when i was a kid. PLUS most cameras nowadays have a screen you can flip to see yourself. the room was small. he could have put that thing anywhere and got a good shot.
either way, hilarious!

I don't know. I am really torn as to if this is real or not. On one hand, the whole remote to ass thing seems too friggin' weird to be fake, on the other hand I wouldn't be a surprised for a second if Toxic was right. It looked really exorcist-y to me.
If you look at the moment between when the brother is running with the camera and when the camera gets put down, it seems like it could be an edit, and not just fuzzy frame-rate.
