much in the style of the "you laugh, you lose" game, this game is very similar. and sadder.

RULES:
try to stick to pictures, but some video (YouTube, etc.) is cool, too.
1 picture/video per post, no double-posting
try not to cry...

i'll start

If this doesn't tug a heart string you're either a robot or live under a rock.

The first one actually did make me cry because I suck at life.
Boman's second one made me laugh.

BOMAN'S FIRST ONE SUCKED.
I just cried for 10 minutes.
=[
I hate this game.

by **BomanTheBear** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 7:51 pm UTC

God, I cried like I just saw my parents die in a car wreck the first time I saw it. Not even exaggerating.

And yeah, the virgil one is so pitiful it's funny. I found it appropriate.

Here's another:

Edit 2: See link below.

Truly beautiful. It'll ruin your day, but you'll probably tell alot of people that you love them afterwards.

Edit: Fuck it, don't watch it. Too sad.

Reading this thread has lead me to two possible conclusions:
1. You guys are all wusses, or
2. I'm a heartless bastard

by **Pirate.Bondage** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 8:01 pm UTC

It takes almost nothing to make me cry. If someone is suffering or sad, most likely it'll kill me. Tom watched that dog video with me, I'm sobbing and he just sits there like "...."

Well, there are two things that get me. I love dogs. I love my dog more than I love most people.. So that's one.

The other is dying completely unexpectedly with deep and profound regret.

That's why the two videos I put up are so sad to me.

by **Pirate.Bondage** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 8:19 pm UTC

I am just a wuss.

The second video you posted was sad but since I couldn't understand it, it wasn't as sad as the first one.

by **BomanTheBear** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 8:29 pm UTC

Here you go then. Subbed version. It's even worse.

Oh shit I think I just died inside. =[
It didn't look like he was about to die though.

by **BomanTheBear** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 8:45 pm UTC

I think that's what they intimated, though. It's a truly tragic thing regardless.

by **Supershadow18** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 8:52 pm UTC

I couldn't finish the dog one, I had to stop soon after it went to the dog's perspective. I think Boman wins this thread.

by **Pirate.Bondage** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 8:56 pm UTC

That's when I started sobbing.

I gotta say though, some of the scenes that they caught in that video are beautiful. Like the beach, or when she and the dog are watching the traffic.

by **Asmodieus** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 9:16 pm UTC

Im paranoid that someone is gonna troll the Pain Series or something just to fuck with everyone

I know, right? It ruins my day every time I see it.

I don't care much for dogs, or anything with fur really, so boman's vid didn't get to me. However, had it been about a bird or a reptile I guarantee that I would have cried like a baby. I guess that's becouse I'm allergic and have the aforementioned animals for pets, rather than a dog.

Actually, this one made me lol. Such a taste- and shameless exploitation of fear and regret.
And what's the message? "If only I had had a better life insurance to make me a better person and more attentive driver!"? "At least my son will inherit enough to drown the neurosis I gave him in expensive whiskey?"? I don't get it.

Seconded.

I didn't feel any real emotional resonance with Boman's dog video. Mostly I thought, "Aww, cute" a few times, or maybe a touch of sympathy here and there, but I started getting impatient with how slowly it progressed. The insurance video did nothing* for me at all, and I found it tedious.

Spoiler:

To me, the saddest thing so far has been the Calvin and Hobbes parody: I'd seen it elsewhere on the internet, or one similar, and the first time I read it my response was kinda, "That's so tragic! That's so wrong!"

jesus christ, how does this sell stuff? "I may have missed my son's entire life and was always mean to him, but at least I have insurance!"

anyway, to help you all regain your composures, here's this:

i've seen that one. it's pretty depressing, but has a good moral. but then morals ruin everything, so it's depressing again.

here's another one that depressed the hell outta me, although it's a story sort of thing.

by **Camoninja** » Sun Nov 23, 2008 6:37 am UTC

That one nearly made me break down, I don't know why...

by **Cheese** » Sun Nov 23, 2008 11:39 pm UTC

I've not watched either of the videos yet, but the most recent picture got to me, although I'm not in tears yet. It touched me because it talks about missed chances, and I regret not doing a whole lot of things.

by **quintopia** » Mon Nov 24, 2008 8:44 am UTC

videogamesizzle's almost made me cry at the terrible grammar and spelling, and the hideous clichéd melodrama of it all. Nothing really compares to that dog one.

I laughed at the end as well. It just didn't fit the rest of the clip.

The various dog ones have made me... feel, but no more.

by **Dobblesworth** » Mon Nov 24, 2008 8:32 pm UTC

The one from videogamesizzle was really deep, but that one with the Thai business jerk getting mown down by an Eddie Stobart as he stares for 10 minutes at his son's guitar gig flyer... well, it's just lol-worthy really. Yes I am quite a heartless bastard.

im still wining and shall never lose

although when bad things happen to cats........

by **Camoninja** » Tue Nov 25, 2008 3:36 am UTC

This is a kinda depressing, but also touching video. I didn't cry, but then again, nothing in this topic has made me do so yet.

by **videogamesizzle** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 7:23 am UTC

this one kinda sucks...

Hmm. I don't know if this qualifies as a game or not.

So far, they just make me feel sober. As if I was intoxicated by something but didn't realise until these blasted things took it away. The friend one, whilst a cliche, is the worst because of its pausibility.

by **Allenr** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 12:47 pm UTC

I just keep laughing, not gonna cry at anything you guys can find.

by **cephalopod9** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 7:46 am UTC

How's about we label our youtube links so I can see if anybody posted Kiwi or not?

This is kind of a horrible horrible idea for a game.
