Paul vs 8-bit

See what happens when sprites attack!

Words: Joe McNeilly, GamesRadar US

Sometimes you just know from the moment you get up that it’s going to be a horrible day. On one such day, we followed Paul Ryan around San Francisco with a camera. This is the completely unadulterated video document of what we witnessed.

That bridge exploding noise from Contra is permanently burned into my mind: BOOM-CHIKAK BOOM-CHIKAKA

Walking against the fan, lol!

I'm almost positive that the Sonic sample is from the Genesis version, which is 16-bit. Both the sound and the fish sprite.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Awesome though. You guys should do one when the San Francisco fog rolls in and call it Paul Ryan's PS2 day.

I love Paul Ryan, because he always seems to be game for stupid, funny GR vid-ja's.

Very well done. I like how the light from the window is the same when he wakes up as when he goes to bed.

If you look carefully, they used the same clip and just played it backwards :P

Ha. Nice. Is the fan from Chip 'n' Dale? That's the only game I can remember it from. Loved that game.

Also, I remember the exploding bridge from Probotector, which was a sort of reskinned remake of Contra or something, I think.
