Angry Gaming 03.05.07: Brace Yourselves
Welcome to Angry Gaming, the place where all that leftover malice from Shadowhearts goes after each game. I am your hate master, Damian Sarcuni, and today I am referring to myself as the salami swami as much as possible. Feed me Seymour! Brace Yourselves Have you ever seen the Disney movie The Little Mermaid? Yeah you have, don't lie. Everybody saw that damn movie, and everyone loved it, or at least parts of it. There's something in that movie for everyone, from the god awful love songs to the maniac chef who keeps trying to cook Sebastian the crab. Personally, my favorite character in the movie is the sailor on Prince Eric's ship who only yells one line: "Hurricane a comin'! STAND FAST!! SECURE THE RIGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN'!!" That is the 2nd greatest line in all Disney flicks (the 1st is "How could you hope to defeat me? ME?! The mistress of all evil!!" in Sleeping Beauty) and ever since then I haven't been able to look up at a rain cloud filled sky without feeling the urge to belt that line at the top of my lungs.
