Frogger - the real gaming menace since 1981

Post by Hobie-wan »

See, screw first person shooters messing people up. You still have to get a gun and ammunition to prove how stupid you are if you are truly so malleable to think that emulating a game is a fun or a good idea. Anyone with less than half a brain can find a road and try to emulate Frogger. :roll:

Yay! South Carolina! Seems like anytime we make the news it's for something dumb...

Saw this on the news this morning and my initial reaction was "Well...I guess he didn't win"

I can't get over the comments on that page you linked from... They are all arguing over his political affiliation! It's nuts!

Oh, also, this guys got nothing on George Costanza :wink:

i think the real shame would be an original frogger arcade unit getting destroyed, assuming the guy was this dumb
