Awesome Things Nintendo Clearly Doesn’t Know Knows All About and Hates (Updated x2)
Children, sit down, and let me tell you a story. A story about The Legend of Neil. It’s a lot like The Legend of Zelda, but involves more profanity, masturbation, murder, and toe motorboating from batshit insane fairies. Now, above is Chapter 2, the best of the three currently available, but Chapter 3 is a very close second, thanks to the above mentioned fairy played to perfection by recent nerd-goddess (and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog star) Felicia Day. Do not miss. Or at least stay for the theme song, which will haunt your dreams forever. (Via Gorilla Mask)
Update: Well, that was quick. Minutes after I put up the video, it’s been cut from the source, along with all other episodes, as well as all the other feeds I can find. Perhaps Nintendo didn’t find a dude who masturbated to the fairies in Zelda (while autoerotically asphyxiating himself) and wound up in Hyrule as hilarious as I did. If any of you knows where to find another video, please email me.
Update x2: It appears to be back up. Enjoy it while you can, kids, and just try not to have dirty thoughts about Felicia Day tonight.
