Another good list: Crabby Games (http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/crabby-games/?page=1). This from GameDaily.

I think it's a good list, but not in the traditional way that lists are good. No, this one isn't really even a list. But it's good because it had me doing the internet thang: looking up one thing, which had me looking up another, then following a link to somewhere else, then checking out another thing, which lead me to yet another, and then another... and pretty soon I was learning stuff!. I learned about the Giant Enemy Crab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Enemy_Crab) phenomenon. And I learned a new word: meme. I'd never heard of the term internet meme, or even seen or heard the word meme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme) before.

Giant Enemy Crab... LOL! YouTube remembers the Sony E3 2006 Presser. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAL9brlKvu4)

Meme... we've got some memes going here don't we?


Anyhow, back to the list:
The first game I thought of was Half-Life 2. Then I thought of Oblivion. (And to a lesser extent Morrowind.) But I was disappointed that they didn't have Shark! Shark! or Mario Bros. on there.

Oblivion has the most crabs I have ever had to fight. I usually go hand-to-hand with them, since they are so weak. Morrowind had the most useful crab I can remember, the merchant. I forgot the maximum he would give in a sale, but it was more than any store in the game. I had a recall spell put on his island just to make sure I can find it anytime, and I kept a bunch of weapons and armor ready to be sold near his island too, unless the game started to delete them.

Oh, yeah. The YouTube video was good. Pure Comedy.

Meme is very popular with internet denizens especially those that frequent message boards. Shame on you for not knowing until now!


I am reminded of the crabs I beat the turd out of in Patapon.

No Blaster Master? No Mega Man? Bah!
