When you get better, you’re going to look back at this video and think it’s hilarious.

Hope you get better soon. :(

In the first FEAR the railroad spikes messed people up. I’m disappointed they changed that, it was quite a bit of fun to crucify people on the walls.

Having a stopped up nose is the most irritating thing in existence.

I hear ya on the DVD tab things. Pointless.

That’s the joke the alien used in perfect dark :O

Those tabs are called security tabs…or the tabs of the devil!

you almost talk like me now, thats of course just because your sick but still thats how i struggle (plus i have slurred speech)

Sorry to see you’re a bit under the weather Noah. I just got rid of the crud about a week ago, so I feel for ya dude. Having said that, kick back, rest up, play some games, watch some movies, and get to feeling better. As far as those annoying stickers that line the edges of a DVD case, I just use something sharp to run down the open/close seam of the case and then peel the stickers off rather than trying to thumbnail it from the sides. Unfortunately, you STILL have leftover adheasive on the damn case sometimes…that annoys the hell out of me. Anywho, feel better soon Noah.

Hate the fucking stickers and shit they put on DVD cases these days. WTF?! What was wrong with them the way they were before? Christ. Also, I agree on F.E.A.R 2. Didn’t do much for me either.

Get well soon.

I KNEW you would mention Painkiller!! who can possibly forget pinning people to walls with trees

Hey Spoony. You can bend those little plastic tabs back and forth a few times and soon they’ll snap off. No more wasted two seconds! I keed, I keed. Hope it helps.

Huh, I played the Fear 2 demo on steam, and I don’t remember it taking that many shots to take the enemies down.
Maybe the demo is a lot different then the main game, I don’t know.

Yeah, I hate those side, top, and bottom stickers on dvds and video games.
I’m a collector, and sometimes the stickers can rip off piece of the dvd cases.

The DVD tabs are annoying. A friend showed me recently that they’re really easy to twist off. Never occurred to me to try that, for some reason . . .

I hate those damn tabs… and FEAR 2 saddens me… so much potential wasted. I mean, there could have been some Cthulu mythos type shit thrown in. Like… fuckin… Quake… or something.
Sorry it’s late.

Hope you get better and that video was FTW man :D

Take care, rest well, blah blah blah some stranger wishes you well.

Hey, we understand how it’s like. The funny thing is, everybody around my area has been having some sort of cold/throat-related issue, lately, and it’s been affecting most of my professors from different classes, so you’re not the only one feeling sick.

That said, take a good rest. Performing/recording in front of a camera (even if it’s just audio) does require lots of breathing.

I hope you get over that cold soon. From the way you sounded, it must be the kind of thing that would even have me wiped out, and I need to be almost dying to say that. Sleep it off if you can, and have somebody bring you as much orange juice and chicken broth as possible.

As for those locking tabs on DVD cases, I dunno. One more way to keep the terrorists out, I guess. Wouldn’t want to make it too easy for them to launch a crazy DVD-related attack or something, after all.

Anyway, get well soon.

Jesus fuck! Death Proof? I just bought that YESTERDAY and I just finished watching it for the second time 5 minutes ago. (Great movie, go buy it) I open up my browser, decide to see what ol’ Spoony is up to. He’s sick? Aw.. Poor guy. He picks up fucking DEATH PROOF and I’m like “BWUH?”

anybody know where he got the shirt?

Aw gross, you rubbed all yo germs into your hair.

tried the fear 2 demo it’s was medicore a best totally agree with the mention of it.

spooney since ya said you have been messing with steam ,i downloaded Farcry(original one not 2) today for 10$ it’s been diffidently worth it.

it was one of those game i was apprehensive about playing it in the past and was surprised how good it was.

hope ya feel better

Get well now.

I’m impatient.

Hope you get better soon.

Gotta disagree with you on FEAR 2. I’m actually enjoying it a fair amount… but it’s probably because it’s the first next-gen game I’ve gotten to play on my sexy newly built computer, and it runs flawlessly! Still, great Vlog. Hope you get better soon!

I have a bad cold and a big nose as well. Hope we both get better. By the way, I like your shirt in this video.

I’m pretty sure that if you got hit in the face with a railroad spike bullet, there wouldn’t be enough left of your head to articulate a scream. But yeah, even if these Replica guys supposedly do have body armor that could completely stop a projectile like that from splattering their heads like ripe melons, the impact alone would probably just liquify their brains.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_shock

the tab rant was quite genius. good luck with that ass load of pills.

Hey, get better, and stop rubbing germs all over your hair and face after you cough into you hand!

I’m with you on the excessive security measures on these dvds/bluray. I mean, seriously, if someones going to jack some dvds out of a case, i’m pretty sure they will have a handy little knife to slice the tape open, right?? Either that, or they will simply put the whole dvd, case and all, inside a bag lined with tinfoil to get past the sensormatic gates… So why does the legitmate buyer have to suffer with these overkill measures for loss prevention? All you need is the cellophane wrap (which by itself should be enough to prevent casual theft with all the crinkly noise it makes) and maybe one sticky tape thing down ONE side, right??? I wonder the same things… but those little tab things… those are just bizarre and utterly useless.

As for FEAR 2, I never had an issue with how many bullets it took to kill an enemy… and I was playing it on the default, normal difficulty… I did notice the same thing with the hammergun/spikes into the head, but for some reason it didnt bother me, maybe cause they have helmets on and it looks like the spikes only go in about an inch, but I cant tell for sure.

I usually just tear those tabs off. They serve no purpose.

Ditch the soda and get yourself some fruit juice, man. Helped me (had a cold recently). Being sick in a dorm sucks.

Try Mucinex. 600 mg of expectorant, which relieves chest congestion. Also try Sudofed PE. It should at least help break up the nasal congestion. (Assuming you’re not taking them already, of course.)

The same happens to me dude! I cant’s sleep shit when I have a cold.

When I get a cold I’m also sensitive to light so I get all teary eyed and the snot blasts through my nose.
I also find it hard to breathe through my mouth. Don’t have any problems sleeping because I’m so relieved when I get into a dark room.

That shirt. Awesome. Totally awesome.

Sorry you’re sick, dood. I just got over a monster flu that left me bedridded for almost a week an a half. Not fun at all.

I…apparently am in the minority with the tabs. I actully like them, because there re times my DVD/game cases don’t snap right anymore. I just use the tabs then.

aww sorry to nag you, man. But you’re whining a bit too much about being sick. Breathe through your mouth, c’mon…

It’s good thing we don’t have those kind of tabs on the DVD’s in Finland, I haven’t seen them on UK DVDs either. Maybe they put them only in R1 DVDs?

You and me both, I’ve been sick with the same cold as you for a week.
I haven’t really even left my house, I’ve just been sleeping and on the internet.
Dammit you reminded me how much I hate those tab things, I remember trying to open a DVD with those on it without knowing, I saw the tabs and just snapped them off. Now next time I see any of my DVD’s with tabs I’m fucking ripping them off… THANK’S SPOONY FOR REMINDING ME OF MY ANCIENT RAGE AGAINST DVD TABS =D

Those tabs on the case are pointless, but at least they don’t make it hard to watch something.

Unlike when I bought Full Metal Panic’s full series in one case. The discs are sealed inside with some kind of cylendar you have to push down really fucking hard to release them just a little bit. Then you probably have to bend the disc to the point of breaking before it’ll come out. I ended up using some wire cutters on half of the clips just so I can push the rest together rather than dealing with that damn cylendar.

So that you don’t rage against me, I have to agree that those tabs suck complete ass. I hate those things.
Even worse are the slip covers to the DVDs that I WANT to throw away cause they are a pain in the ass but just can’t bring myself to.

But they do actually help prevent theft in stores.
I’ve worked in Futureshop for a year and a half (basically canadian best buy) and I’ve seen people take an Xbox game and make a tiny slit on the side going through the packaging and the sticker, without going throw ANYTHING else (including the top and bottom stickers)
and managing to suck the game disc out. They are like friggin’ octopuses.
But what doesn’t make sense to me is why they bother putting those tabs on a 10 dollar movie. I’ve never seen anyone take the effort of slicing the side and sucking the movie out when games are much more valuable.

Whats worse is most of the movies I have with those tabs came from the cheap $5 bin that no one even bothers to look into for stealing.

Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with linear game play. Half Life anyone?

In the UK we don’t have those tabs but I can see them being a bit unessecary especially if you’re changing discs and you’re juggling a couple of things at once anyway. Another get well soon message, its good to get some content regardless.

Get well spoony, get well.

I work at a video rental store, and those tabs are VERY annoying, especially when I need open 40-95 of those a week, more if we need to make those cases for selling used DVDs.

But I will say that I like those tabs for my own DVDs, for me its for the “wont accidentally pop open” factor.

Youre dead on about the stickers though, its always 1 or 3 stickers that I see, I hate them so much.

I totally agree with you about TF2 My friend john showed me it at school one day and I played it at the games for less in my town. AWESOME game. But when I heard about the updates you mentioned I was like what the heck? A scout with a SHOTGUN? Huh? and it has knockback? wow! I have’nt played many games where knockback has been included but I can say it does suck. I also agree with you on FEAR 2. I wish they would make an ENDING to this game!

Great job on the video! I know how bad it can be to be sick with what you have! I just recently got out from under it.

Get well soon Noah!

I worked at a video store for a number of years, so I sympathize with your rage over those stupid tabs. The good news is they break off really easily. Just open the tabs and slide the DVD down the edge of a table. Those little fuckers will sheer off and won’t bother you anymore.

You know, if you have a cold, you should get that Zicam stuff. It is expensive as hell, but it does work. I always keep some handy for a cold. It really does shorten the duration of a cold if you’ve got one or completely prevent it if you catch the cold in the first stages and start using it. It’s great stuff. You should invest in it.

Luckily they dont put those stickers on DVDs here. Hate them on the X360 game cases, and hopefully the tabs wont come here either.

And of course you werent supposed to whack Alma at the end of Fear 2 so you can fight a angry single mother in the next installment.

I wouldn’t worry about the lack of updates and reviews lately man, just concentrate on your health at the end of the day its a lot more important.

I’m sure this has been pointed out but I got nothing else to do. The tabs break off! I believe the packaging actuality says to do so. I have had several friends complain about them so I’ll grab their DVD’s and snap them off. They always get this look on their faces like “wow… I’m a dumb shit.” But I feel your pain.

PS. I always get sinus colds. They are hell on earth! Sometimes I get them for weeks. After a couple of days I think it’s gone, but no, it’s just taunting me.

Sadly Spoony, there are instances in real life during operations in Iraq where people had full thirty round magazines of 5.56mm and the person who’d been shot limps away in a LOT of pain but still quite alive.

And clogged sinuses suck. Mostly because I’m not a mouth breather I guess.

I can not stand colds! Urgg. They are terrible. You get one, recover a little then you get it three times as hard just before something important.
I also can not stand when you get a really good DVD/game disk and you’re sat ready to watch. “Hey…it wont…GET THESE FRICKING STICKERS OFF!” There’s the security tag, that is stuck on with three layers of glue, the plastic wrap and then you tell me you get those tabs…thank god I’m in the UK.

Get well soon Spoony, and daym you have strong meds.

If you are looking for a really good scary game, I recommend Fatal Frame 1, 2 & 3. They are hard to find but definately worth it.

I think the reason you couldn’t fight Alma is because of Legal reasons. It states that Children must not be inolved in high amounts of violence, aspecialy gun violence. It is the same reason why you don’t see children on games such as ‘GTA4′.

Those fucking tabs drive me insane too… we have them here in Canada as well.

After that Final Fantasy VIII Review: Part 8 every video/text has been more or less shit. That Dr. Insano fanfart stuff is lame and boring,
but I liked the character on the FF Review. That review has been very very entertaining and funny and clever… But this recent stuff just
sucks.

So, when will come the next part of that FF review? Only thing I’ve been waiting to see from you for the last month or so. Also, I’ve been
watching your videos since 2007 and you beat all the other reviewers (Nostalgia Critic & the others from TGWTG and AVGN)
any day. They are just childish.

DVD tabs, a universal plague we can all get behind. I absolutely identified with that problem, because it IS frustrating to go and open a DVD case and get cockblocked by your own DVD. I’ve literally tried opening a DVD unaware of the tabs and had the DVD case fall out of my hands BECAUSE of the the tabs.

To the guy for comment #56, you do know that it’s comments like that that made Spoony decide not to do anymore FF8 reviews way back when, right? We’re lucky he decided to do more, it’s not his job, don’t act like it is, and even more don’t act like you’re his boss. If you decided to have fun with something like this where you don’t get much, if any, money out of this, would you like it if you got “Omg, this sucks balls, do that thing from before!” constantly? If you even read a tiny bit of text from the blog here or watched a minute of this, you know he’s been sick as hell and hasn’t had the time or focus to write up funny stuff for his reviews.

To Spoony: get better soon man, sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn’t, but I often try to sleep sitting up or in a recliner or something when I have a really stuffed up nose, might help. I haven’t gotten those tabs yet, but I don’t get new movies very much at all. I hate the stupid tape around the edges, but the tape is a necessary evil I suppose.

It’s a rite of movie passage in our place to remove those demon tabs. The fact that I usually see them on cheaper cases confuses me….I always just figured that cheap releases used crappy cases that need the extra help staying shut.

Have you ever tried those nose-watering cans? I have chronic sinus crap and I keep getting told to use that. You end up pouring water in one side of your nose and out the other, but it clears out all the gunk that keeps you from breathing for at least a few hours.

Well, that sucks you got a cold, those are never fun. I have allergies myself, and when I do something in my yard, I almost feel like I have a cold for at least half the day after I’m done, but of course, colds can be worse because it lasts longer and makes it hard to sleep and everything. So get unsick soon, Spoony.

As for tabs, yeah, I’ve always had the same issues. When I try to open a movie, and they don’t open up, I’m usually like “the hell’s going on here, why isn’t opening……..oooohhhhh, damn tab”

TF2, I got it about a month ago, but I only played for about a week and a half and haven’t really been playing much of it lately. It just got frustrating having some guy who hates losing screaming in my ear telling me that I suck since he’s not doing well.

I don’t particularly hate DVD tabs and I’ve never played FEAR, but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this. Top 10 best Vlog right here.

I also have a big nose so i have the same problem… although not as badly as you it seems

someone help! spoony’s taking unperscribed medicine!

security stickers on cds.nuff said.btw has n e 1 played fallout 3?good game.

Get well soon, Spoony!
I never played FEAR, simply because it never interested me. Seriously, there’s so many FPS games coming out, and so many of them are crap, it’s hard to give one specific game a try just cuz some stranger on the internet (not talking about you) says it rules.

I also despise those freakin tabs on DVD’s. If someone is going to steal a DVD they are going to box cutter it or just take the whole thing.

Sorry to hear you still not feelin to great, hope it clears up soon!

I haven’t come across any of those tabs yet, though I think I will soon whenever I feel like buying a movie or something…
Anyway, get well soon~!

Spoony, go out and get some Emergen-C, in the little blue packets, the orange kind. And drink it nonstop, and pop mulitvitamins and Vitamin C twice a day, it kills a cold faster than anything else I know.

Seems like everyone is sick.
I’ve been able to stave it off generally by getting sleep, exercise, water, OJ, veggies,
The nails in the eye reminds me of playing No One Lives Forever (awesome FPS), and putting a crossbow bolt right into a guys upper spine from behind from like 15 feet away and he responds with “She’s over here!”

They are an anti-theft device. If you take a razorblade to a standard wraped DVD case, all you need to do is trace the grove around 3 edges and then you have access to the DVD in less than 5 seconds, those tabs prevent this. I don’t know if it actually prevents theft, I just rip them off when I buy one with them on there.

Your rage makes me smile. Cause its how I feel about those blasted evil tabs!

Also, I have a cold right now as well.

I completely agree with the rant about FEAR2, i finished the game on hard, the game is incredible easy, i did get killed but they were always one of the 3 kinds of cheap deaths the game loves:
“an enemy spawning behind you that makes no noise”
the soldiers getting a lucky shot at one of the MANY explosive containers in the environments
one of the charging dudes managed to flank you and kill you with one shotgun blast (they also make no noise and the heavy handed motion blur coupled with the everything-is-grey syndrome tends to hide them from your view)

of all the weapons the only ones that do anything are the submachine gun and the assault rifle because they are the only ones with stopping power, with any weapon, shotgun hammer head whatever, youll have to use a clip on the enemy but only the machine guns actually prevent them from shooting back so thats all you use (who the hell can take two shotgun blast to the chest and shrug them off ?!?), this is a pretty common problem fps had since they went into the console market, i really miss games like farcry 1 (before the mutants) or NOLF where you could kill ppl with 1 shot to the head

the scares sucked, in fear1 you watched Alma killed a lot of ppl you only watch her kill 2 and they were really asking for it, they did not make her any scarier, specially considering that when she attacks you a few button presses kicks her away without any damage taken

and i really really hate when a game tasks you into chasing someone you never ever reach (fear1 also did it but they at least let you kill the guy in the end.. in a really crappy non action scene but they let you press the trigger at least), even worse you get your ass kicked on scenes just because … you cant control your character (half life 2 did the same crap several times), its like that game in Southpark “Heroin Hero” your objective is always on sight on arm’s reach but they always ALWAYS get away, you never catch the freaking dragon, man!

Hey man, I hear you on the whole cold thing. I get the same way.

I become a miserable, Lifeless automaton for a week or two, And do nothing but stare into open space.
Colds are Hell. Would rather have any other common virus.

I can say nothing on FEAR, Never played. But yes them tabs are pretty much pointless. You could argue they pevent you from cutting through the packageing, But really you can simple use a knife, Start on the side of the package, Cut to the tab, And push it open, And then the other side, And really nothing serves to hinder the knife.

Hey man, I hear you on the whole cold thing. I get the same way.

I become a miserable, Lifeless automaton for a week or two, And do nothing but stare into open space.
Colds are Hell. Would rather have any other common virus.

SPOONY FINALLY REVEALS WHATS IN THE PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE!

Seems like that horrible cold you have has been going around everywhere, I just had it 2 weeks ago and I feel your pain. I can’t sleep for shit if I can’t even breathe, it was awful.

The little tabs on DVD cases don’t make me rage quite as hard as you, but I remember the first time I encountered them all I could say was WTF? There really is no goddamn point to those stupid little things.

LOL @ DVD tabs. I remember a lot of the older DVD’s used to have those. Why did they add them on newer DVD’s…? Maybe because they had some of those cases left over.

Well this explains jumping back into TF2 and finding flare guns to be overpowered for the simple reason you don’t have one yet. You can’t think straight.

Poor Noah, it have to be some serious cold if you need meds for the it
I played the first FEAR but wasn’t that impressed by it, it felt many time like it was a cheap rip-off of Half-Life 2 with Max Paines Bullet-time effect but the scares where good but not enough to keep my interest up, i just though it was too bland so I had little interest for the follow up but have hear all about the rants, if you got the screenshot with the nailgunned guy that would have made my day ^_^
I live in Sweden so we don’t have the theft-locks or whatever they are called atleast yet, given that security tapes have appeared recently have started to annoy me

The little tab things are the gods stepping in to try and prevent you from watching a movie as bad as Death Proof.

I think the taps are stupid, I have them on a lot of movies from disney and Pixar. There sort of helpful becuse it keeps the little ones from opening up the dvd case and braking the dvd but there more of a pain in the butt, Ive had someone brake them off becuse they didnt look for the taps and just kept trying to open it.

hey spoony i can sympathize my colds are like that too it sucks, get well soon noah. p.s- i;m from the uk and i;ve never seen those tabs on the dvds before. god i hope they dont bring them over here.

I hate colds for the same reasons you do. You just can’t breath. And there’s no amount of blowing that will rectify it. It’s very, very hard for me to go to sleep and it’s even worse trying to go back to sleep if I wake up in the middle of the night. Moving around actually seems to help me breath better, so I completely go against any advice to get rest. When my colds end, I get the after-effect of mucus draining down my throat and if it’s bad enough it can make me gag.

I have never actually seen tabs on any DVDs, but that’s…well…stupid. I think they’d save a lot of trouble if they only had 1 security feature: those plastic security locks like they have on clothing. They could just take it off when you buy it and then you wouldn’t have anything to rip off. But that won’t happen. They couldn’t put them on the DVDs in the box sets.

You know what I think would be an interesting idea with enemies? Make them all different. Just set some parameters and randomize each enemy. You’d have big guys that’d go right at you and take a few hits to go down. Small guys would be better shots and take cover, but they’d go down in just one hit. But if you shot them in the head, they should go down no matter what. Now if you had shot those spikes into his gut, then he might just be pulling a Boromir, but I don’t think even he would’ve survived an arrow thru his skull.

Bosses are a must if for nothing else than to give you the satisfaction of saying, “Yeah, I kicked your ass.”

I think you should make more sick videos. Not that i want to put you through pain, but your anger is 2x as irrational, thus making it entertaining in a new way.

I want that shirt. Think you could email me where you got it.

Oh and get well soon.

Hooray for the ever-present irrational anger! I hate those tab thingies with a passion. You are surely not alone. And you are also not alone in having a bad cold. Get better soon, and death to all plastic DVD tabs.

ha ha hilarious! =D if you want a good recent scary game Penumbra is very good do you have that over there? im not sure if its from europe? anyway the one i got is called the Black Plague and it’s not the first in the series but im not sure how far along it is =/. Anyway, it’s a great puzzle game that makes you use half life 2 like physics to solve problems and hide from scary aliens all while tripping out and going mad. If you look at a monster too long you get scared, panic and make a noise they might hear. Also Silent Hill the homecoming is pretty damn scary so far. You should do a round up of scary games that would be great =D

Good god, where did you get that amazing t-shirt. Anyone know?

Actually, when it comes to bullets, I have a real life tale to tell.

A police woman was ambushed at her home by some gang bangers as she got out of her car. They shot her seven times, including once in the heart. She returned fire, taking down the henchmen shooting the leader several times, including once in the lung. She, in her wounded condition, chased this leader, in his wounded condition, for five blocks down the street before he collapsed.

Although a spike to the face should still be a one hit kill.

To the comment #59, Pete; I’ve never before read these comments, so I don’t know what kind of comments you’re talking about. Also I really don’t care if this is or isn’t his job, he’s still doing it for whatever reasons and I’m enjoying most of it. I’m not bossing him around in any way or if I am, I want to hear it from him, not from some random fan (me being a random anti-fan).

When you put videos and blogs on the web, you’ll most likely get different types of comments and if you can’t cope with it, then fuck off and die. It’d be foolish to put yourself in a “god-position” and tolerate only “A+++” comments.

“…would you like it if you got “Omg, this sucks balls, do that thing from before!” constantly?”

Well of course not, if it was constant. But that comment I posted was/is probably the only criticizing comment posted on this video and I don’t have any problem with what Spoony does. Let him do whatever he wants whenever he wants. I’m just saying, that if you start something, you should stick with it and do it to the end.

I know what you are going throu, I had a cold that lasted for about a month once, it basically made me fail an important test in school as well=(. Hope you get better soon.

About the tabs: Wow I didn’t know you had all that stuff on DVD cases in the US, here in Sweden we don’t have any of it, we are even speared the cellofane wrap sometimes. It must suck to have to perform archeology just to extract a damm disk from its casing.

No, Spoony! Don’t turn to prescription drug abuse to solve your problems!

this was funny as hell…..you should upload this shit to youtube man…

i read the watchmen didn’t like it ,so i’ll prob skip the movie

I’m sorry that you suck at TF2. ;3 For those of us that have been playing it for a while, the new items are refreshing. Yeah, they’re a “bit” of a pain to get.. but they’re really not overpowered, and you can still kick ass with or without the items. Some are really good (Bonk is pretty annoying when used right), but for the most part they’re fairly balanced. Using the bat, for example, renders you unable to double-jump AND you do 50% less damage to un-stunned enemies with said bat.

I’m glad that I haven’t come across any of those tab things in England… maybe it is to stop the box from opening if it falls down and lands on the spine of it…. I dunno…. Maybe….
From what i’ve heard about Fear 2… the scary bits that aren’t the girl trying to give you a hug…. they are very rarely seen because you could be looking the opposite way.

In FEAR 2, one reason why they didn’t make you fight Alma as a final boss is probably because they couldn’t think of a creative way to fight her since she can instantly kill people from a distance, as demonstrated in the game, and they probably didn’t want a repeat of the first FEAR where, as a “final boss,” all you had to do was sit in one spot and shoot her six or seven times in the face as she walks towards you from one direction (the constant use of long, narrow hallways in FEAR 1 pretty much are the leading cause for such a ridiculously easy fight). Although, I think they could have done much better than make you face some annoying person who (for some scary reason) is completely obsessed with Alma, can make copies of himself, and uses either an assault rifle or an SMG (I can’t tell which) that does more damage than usual.

The DVD tabs are for trying to keep your children from opening the DVD case and breaking your disks

lmao i just got death proof yesterday and had the exact same problem *sniffle* you address the problems of the common people. i salute you sir!

This doesn’t really have anything to do with the review, but that at River City Ransom shirt is awesome! I’d love to know where you got it, but you’re pretty busy. Good luck trudging through Final Fantasy VIII!

This video video shows a male person in his twenties ranting for four minutes about DVD tabs and the, apparently cumbersome, two seconds it takes to open them.

Noah’s world does seem to revolve around playing a lot of video games, watching a lot of movies and not getting laid. It’s occasionally hilarious, but sometimes it’s just depressing.

Here’s a tip for those tabs, most of them are designed to be able to be twisted and broken off, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that they’re still bullshit

I have never seen those tab things here in the UK. Must be an American thing. It’s like how shops always seem to put stickers over game titles, especially if something’s preowned. People are stupid and annoying.

I’m with Noah on this; those stupid tabs are on almost all games and movies now. I rip them off with my fingers. (Which is why my hands now look like chipped beef on toast, but at least I’m a happy gamer.)
P.S. spoony, They’re unofficially called Satan Straps. thank You.

The DVD tabs are to keep people from stealing the DVD’s I know what your thinking. But I worked at a retail store and you be surprise at how people are able to steal dvd’s by making a small slice thru the shrink wrap. Using the knife to pop the dvd off the spindle and shaking the dvd out of the case. The tabs make it so you can open the dvd case with out taking most of the shrink wrap off. The more time and work it takes to steal something the less likely people are to steal things cause the chance to get caught increases.
