Giant Crab, Enemy Crab
After a Sony exec gave gave a really bad demo at E3 for an upcoming PS3 game, mean gamers re-edited the embarrassing footage to segue into a cool dancefloor remix.

Don't forget the Sony E3 press conference in 1 minute, one of my favorite YouTube videos.

Bugger - an enemy apostrophe crept into my heading. Massive grammatical error for massive damage.

well, that one arrangement of sentences is funny as hell, but I feel like the original video presentation is more amusing than the crappy dance remix.
"Based on actual Japanese history. So here's this Giant Enemy Crab."
oh man, priceless.

When was it that the Japanese overharvested giant enemy crabs so as to result in their extinction? Was it before the 18th century or was it more recent than that? I forget.

Listen, our forefathers did not risk it all fighting giant enemy crabs so that we could sit back today and laugh at some Sony jerk.
They did it for our freedom.
Great Historical Creature Fights:
10. Napoleon vs Giant Sting Ray (1807) Napoleon single handedly takes on the giant protector of of the Dutch harbor.
9. Third Battle of Ypres (1914) Bees, bees, bees!
8. Benedict Arnold vs "The Canadian Leviathan" (1775) Scholars now believe that Arnold's account of "a massife beaste covered in fangf, flame, and terror like unto Revelationf" was actually a wayward dairy cow.
7. Teddy Roosevelt vs the Lobsters of San Juan Hill (1898) Victory wasn't the only thing savored by the Rough Riders that night!
6. Tokugawa Ieyasu vs the Giant Ape of Marune (1560) Ieyasu-sama wisely planned ahead for this fight by bringing the Giant Ape's only weakness, fire and lots of it, to the seige.
5. Saladin vs Nur al Din (1169) Nur al Din, empowered by his horrible lycanthropy is dispatched in his sleep by his nephew Saladin with a silver scimitar. By freeing the Muslim world from the werewolf's curse, Saladin unites the people and later retakes Jerusalem.
4. Octavian vs the Walrus (31 BC) Anthony and Cleopatra, desperate to avoid a military confrontation with the future Emperor dispatch an unique assassin. The assassin fails, and later as Emperor, Augusts bans all walrii from the Empire.
3. George Washington vs Lakitu (1779) Our future First President stomps on spiny Hessian mercenaries before defeating their leader with a hammer.
2. Native Americans vs Microbes (1492 - 1860) Sadly, the beasts won this one.
1. Sparta's 300 vs Xerxes' Elite (480 BC) Herodotus records the perfect precision used by the Spartans to flip over Xerxes' elite giant crabs in order to deliver Massive Damage.

XQ, you're half right. The PS1 WAS the most successful console ever. Then it got beat by the PS2, which has sold over 115 Million consoles worldwide (and still continues to outsell the XBOX 360 to this day). Grain of salt: I work in marketing for PlayStation.

Robocop: you forgot Queen Victoria vs Bees
Well, I was only doing the top 10. The Clash of Queens (1884), while a great fight that leveled much of Covent Gardens, was after all a stylized ritual fight that added the Great Bee Kingdoms to the Empire through single combat. Scholars state that the British military at the time could likely have taken the Bee Kingdom on their own with the use of their giant smoke cannisters and that the fight itself was mainly an act of personal pride for the Queen bent on restoring her image as England's premier cage fighter.

As you are well aware, I've been saying the same thing about Tokugawa Ieyasu vs the Giant Ape of Marune for years.

The guy's name is Kyle Shubel.
Interview with him here.
"The fun part is, the heike crabs, the giant crabs, are actually real creatures. There are over two meter crabs that exist in Japan."

Also, he's full of crap about them being 2 meters long. They grow to a maximum of 1.2 inches.

Right now, it's sucking pretty hard. But as soon as the AAA titles are released (Metal Gear, FF13, etc.) it should turn around.

I wish the video remix had included other Sony games past, and then come back to "Giant Crab, Enemy Crab" for the chorus. That's really the only part of the "remix" that worked for me as an audio/video combo.
I wish I had time to make stuff like this, though. Sucks being an adult with a life sometimes.

While flipping over giant crabs does indeed result in massive damage - it's far more effective (and delicious) to douse them with vats of boiling butter.
