"Everyone Is a Winner"

Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 5:00 PM

This is the most difficult video game in the history of the world. I've gotten 1.6 meters so far, out of, I think, 100 meters. It seems to be even harder than this old chestnut:

Never could believe the things you do to me,
Never could believe the way you are.
Every day I bless the day that you got through to me,
'Cause baby, I believe that you're a star.

Everyone's a winner, baby, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)

(instrumental)

Never could explain just what was happening to me,
Just one touch of you and I'm a flame.
Baby, it's amazing just how wonderful it is
That the things we like to do are just the same.

Everyone's a winner, baby, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)

(instrumental)

Let's do it again.

Everyone's a winner, baby, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)

Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, baby...

I managed to get to 5.3 meters by doing a weird ankle/knee split-leg hop move. That game is TOUGH!

Actually, I just got 15 meters by doing the same ankle/knee dragging technique that Sarah mastered, but then my finger cramped up and I had to fall over. Now I feel pathetic and sad.

I got 9.1 but I could never get his legs to cross. It was sort of a stumble-crawl.

48.3

I would have given up sooner if I'd known there was a hurdle at 50m.

Oh, Paul! You're not pathetic and sad. Eat more bananas.

I can't get it going well enough to tell for sure, but does it play Chariots-of-Fire-esque music when you actually get running?

I moonwalked back to -2.9

Managed to get to 100 by hopping/dragging myself by one knee, pretty much dragging the hurdle along with me the entire way

That gave me a giggle fit from which I may never recover.

I am currently stuck doing the splits over the white line.

Fuck, this is just a bad memory of the 4th grade all school track meet where everyone at my stupid jock school won a ribbon except me, the kid who doesn't bend her ankles when she runs.

IF I CAN'T SUCCEED AT RUNNING IN VIDEO GAMES, WHERE CAN I?!

101.3

It tells you to jump at the end, but I just surfed over the sand pit on my hurdle.

-1.1 this time, but he flipped right over backwards and landed on his head. Now his ass is in the air and his knees are bent back grotesquely, and he is RUBBING HIS HEAD!!!!

This is awesome. I will never get to sleep.

I dragged my nuts on the track all the way back to -2.3

Oh my god. This is like the funniest thing I've ever seen. Even my cat was laughing at me.

These comments are even funnier than the game.

jesus god, I managed to have a sort of seizure that propelled me to 19 meters.

Thanks a whole hell of a lot for wrecking my nice, sunny Friday with that goddamn clip of goddamn Super Fucking Mario Brothers, the game that was responsible for thousands of hours of soul-sucking oblivion trying to beat that pernicious, evil piece-of-crap in my youth. I have yet to enjoy a video game since.

I was able to drag myself to 100.

Trick is to drag yourself along, much easier than walking.

YOu can get a weird sort of "natural" walk by pressing WO together and then QP together and then alternating back and forth. Of course, the farthest I've got using this method is 31.9 yards.
