For me it was the Adventure Island article, freakin hilarious.

For me it was the IGN article. That made me laugh the most.

The IGN thing wasn't really an article, more of an incident. But that was still good times.

There was also a classic incident in May of 2006 where some guy was selling a Moonwalker arcade cabinet and he hotlinked every single Moonwalker image from my article without giving me a link or credit. So I disabled hotlinking on them and used this as a replacement image:

The guy later contacted me and apologized. I apologized as well, because it turned out he was selling it to raise money for some "Save Kids From Cancer" charity, so I felt kinda like a dick.

Wow. Talk about one of your all time great backfires.

hah. the guy probably just googled "moonwalker" too!

I got a good laugh out of that whole ninja turtles paragraph in the christmas ornaments article.

The Girls of the NES article was awesome (eventhough it kind of rips off part of a Seanbaby article) and so was Valdronius's Maniac Mansion.

However, that Hamlet clip from Last Action Hero was funny as fuck. I was really young when I saw that movie, so I'm glad I'm old and nerdy enough to enjoy it now

Wow!

I don't remember which made me laugh the most. I just remember marathon-reading the articles and liking them all pretty well. Smile

Shit like this should go in the news section. I swear, the only thing in the news is FWSE.

EDIT: It's too bad that new articles almost never come. I wish Syd would release then faster *hint hint*

Same here, although the paragraph about the Beatles in the Poison article was really funny.

Robot Masters is what brought me here, and it's still my favorite.

The Mortal Kombat Fatalities is one of my favorites.

And one of the older articles made me laugh the hardest. I remember where I was, but I don't remember which article it was... I might also be remembering it as being the funniest, because I was cracking up in a public computer lab. Embarrassed

quality articles take time (not that I know what quality is Bell

). You have to have an idea worth writing about, you have to do the research, and finally you have to write the article. These things don't just grow on trees. You have to remember too, most sites like this do it as a hobby. Syd doesn't get payed for this, he does it because he enjoys it (I would imagine). Real life comes first. I'm sure everyone that writes for this site has a job and other commitments that are slightly more important than new articles.

everyone except Valdronus. Bell

Yeah, pretty much what Jew said.

Posted: Feb 14 2008 03:58 pm

I write shitty articles, and even those take time.

Posted: Feb 14 2008 10:55 pm

Smash TV and a couple of others bought me here, but I love 'em all equally.

Posted: Feb 15 2008 04:07 am

I'd do one about Sid Meier's Pirates!, but it'd be way too much of me beating off over it.

Posted: Mar 18 2008 09:05 pm

It's a toss up. Both the "Ladies of the NES" and "Link to the Past Dating Guide" were pretty hilarious.

Same. Well, its not my favorite (that would be Heathcliff), but for me it was the funniest.

Mine would be the Super Punch Out one, its the one that brought me here. I remember me and a buddy were trying to find hints on how to beat that kcik boxing son of a bitch and when we found that article we jsut pissed ourselves.

Posted: May 22 2008 02:31 am

I guess mine would be the Robot Masters artical. It's the artical that brought me here because I looked up robot master on Wikipedia and found a link to here. A more recent one that made me laugh a lot was the Pacman one, a lot of thought probably had to go into that.

I think the mk fatalities article the is the best

Posted: Jun 06 2008 09:09 pm

Definitley law of the west. mainly shooting a kid in the head.

Posted: Jun 10 2008 02:00 am

I liked both the MK fatalities and the LttP love advice article they were quit funny.
