Replay Couch 2: For Your Information
This edition of user-created videos features one Team Fortress 2 spook with all the honesty of a knife-wielding schoolboy. Also included: Halo 3, Guitar Hero 2, Skate, Mario Paint, and Street Fighter 3.
Also, be sure to check out last week's edition for more crazy digital stunts and creative stupidity.
Video of the Week: I Am A Spy
Here is one video that needs no further introduction. Observe what mrcuddles100 has wrought, and remember to download the spray in order to wreak your own havoc upon the Team Fortress 2 masses.

A Very, Very Long Time
Sure, Portal's advanced levels are quite the challenge, but there's something about a quick, thorough domination of the vanilla chambers that gets me going. Simultaneously thrilling and mentally challenging, this clip represents a vicious curb-stomping of chamber 13 by okaay10.

Cake or Death?
Like old Nazi invasion footage, this somewhat low-resolution capture is no less of a conquest. Watch in awe as Portal chamber 15 falls to the blitzkrieg of npaltmp.

Play it Loud
Anyone who ever played the mouse-enabled Mario Paint will remember messing around with its stunningly full-featured music editor for about three seconds. After that, it was back to more exciting diversions, like the fly-squashing mini-game, or Super 3D Noah's Ark. Simple 3D distractions are not for TomBobBlender, the mushroom maestro, who dazzles us with his rendition of a vintage Mega Man 2 beat.

Take A Seat (link to this video)
I had so many requests to post this now-classic Skate video that I had to give in. Alright, three people asked. But it's not like it gets any less funny. He lands right on it!

Turn the page for Halo 3, Street Fighter, and a little Guitar Hero.
_PAGE_BREAK_ Much Ado About Grenades
Timing is everything in comedy, and these next two Halo 3 videos follow that maxim to the T. This first entry is a comedy of error, a tale full of plot twists and tragedy. Shakespeare would be scared.

Measure for Measure
Hath not a Master Chief eyes? Apparently not. Nobody in this next video can foresee the impending slings and arrows of outrageous grenade blasts. Much the better, for the sake of theater. All the Halo's a stage.

Competitive Arena: Daigo Umehara vs. Justin Wong
The year is 2004, and the Evolution Street Fighter 3 tournament finals are well underway. Underdog Justin Wong (Chun-Li) has Daigo Umehara (Ken) on the ropes, whittling the experienced player down to a sliver of health in front of a large crowd of onlookers. After Justin attempts a Super Art 2 special move, which normally would finish off even the most cool-headed of blockers, Daigo parries all fifteen hits--a monumental achievement in clutch timing. The roar of the crowd that follows is electric.

Impossible Video of the Week: We're Not Worthy
Neversoft's Guitar Hero 3 will be challenging plastic guitar-wielding addicts next week, but Harmonix's previous entry remains unbeaten. Scorehero veteran HellAshes stands alone as the closest anyone has come to a full, 100% completion of Buckethead's Jordan on expert mode. His most recent attempt? One missed note, for a 99% rating. This video shows HellAshes earning a no-less-ridiculous 97%, with an excellent view of his double-handed shredding. Bow down.
