The Tale of Seanbaby and Uwe Boll

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sit-right-back-and-you'll-hear-a-tale dept.

1up is hosting a piece by EGM funnyman Seanbaby about his sordid altercation with Uwe Boll. "Uwe was going to promote his publicity stunt on G4's Attack of the Show by boxing one of the hosts. Again, he's a matchmaking genius, because everyone on TV is 3 feet tall. If you were watching Attack of the Show during the time I cohosted, you might have noticed that I could have leaned over and eaten host Kevin Pereira. A producer from the show remembered this and called me asking if I'd come on and fight Uwe. I train in Muay Thai and jujitsu, so I think boxing is to fighting what Hungry Hungry Hippos is to fighting, but--holy crap!--I couldn't pass up getting my fist near the mouth that shouted 'action' on the set of House of the Dead."

    Depends, Just how good are you with that gun? Presumably, you mean some kind of pistol, unless you carry around a sawed-off 12-guage 24/7. Can you hit a moving target with a pistol (any kind/caiber) even at close range? Stats tend to say probably not, which gets you super dead in many kinds of situations.

    Not that I'm against guns per se, but pretending that they're some kind of superweapon that makes you invincible is outright foolish. That .45 in your coat may make you feel 12ft tall, with 8in steel ball bearings for testicles, but that sure as hell won't keep you alive when the shit really hits the fan.

    Most martial arts now train people how to disarm a person with a gun that gets too close. Unless the gunman stays more than two metres away at all times he'll very quickly look at the wrong end of his own gun.

    being "several weight classes" above someone doesn't always mean a whole heck of a lot.
    The hell it doesn't. Sometimes some less easily visible or quantifiable thing means more. If it didn't matter, no one would ever have endless drunken discussions over who the "best pound for pound fighter" is.

    Martial arts skills can't. There's a reason that most martial arts weapons were originally MacGyvered from farming tools.

    7"3 and knows muyay thai and kung fu and is a seventh level dan of balh blah.

    Seanbaby is every bit as talented as Uwe Boll is. He's the Uwe Boll of internet comedy.
