Screen Tear: Episode 6 - Mario Portal, Commercials, and Epic Fails

By: John Davison, GameSpot - Posted on Mar 9, 2012

Mario Portal, some epic physical fails, the Crabulator, a brief Fallout 4 clip (or is it?) and a dystopian future. With dancing. Gangsta-style.

Screen Tear is GameSpot's video game clip show featuring our thug-like host Carlos Rodela: the man that watches way more silly YouTube videos than is healthy. Every Friday, he brings you the newest, funniest, weirdest, and most entertaining video game clips from the past week and squeezes them all into an easy to digest eight-minute show.

In this week's episode, please enjoy a bunch of video game mashups, game commercials (both real and fake) and some some truly epic FAILS.

If you want to check out the clips from this episode in their entirety, here are the links.

The Crabulator!

Bonus Item!

    I hope that's not the trailer for Fallout 4. I want them to take the next game to China and switch up the locale.

    thanks @armandoisgreat .. you are great!

  • CarlosRodela GameSpot staff member

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 3:01 pm GMT

    @hostx9 good idea! actually covered that largest game controller back in the day on Press Pause I think. anyone remember that show? Early days of it we shot in the Cranky Geeks studio (also worked on that show a bit). I remember drinking a 40 with Seanbaby on the set. Good times.

  • CarlosRodela GameSpot staff member

    thanks all for your suggestions. plan on bringing a couple new segments into the fold that will allow us to keep our zany
    but also add some more gaming focused content. I'll give you all an early look when I film stuff next week.

    @CarlosRodela Mmm my comment is gone, must be magic. Anyway I think you should give a try to the fun+informative approach and then see the people's reaction. Honestly I love the show just for laughs but I don't mind your idea. My doubt is what kind of info can you put in a show like this. Maybe the measurements of the crazy shooting lady? Don't know but try it, we'll judge the result and you always can blame Activision. I would.

  • desperadoxd

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 1:32 pm GMT

    @CarlosRodela

    We have StartSelect or other things if we want more serious information -- keep the zany sh#t coming.

  • hostX9

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 12:58 pm GMT

    @CarlosRodela I don't think making the show more informational then it is would work. We have other shows on GS to do this already. I think If you tell us about mods, bugs or something similar which is quite funny is enough I believe. Still you could try and let us actually see what you have in mind and then you will read the response.

    Sometimes you could also come up with stories like this one "Hank Chien Breaks Previous DK Record, Climbs Further Up the Ladder" or This NES Pad is the Biggest Game Controller in the World Just random examples.

    Just to help you out a little I thought mentioning geekologie.com won't hurt in case you don't know it already. There are tons of odd stuff also connected with games like the Mario portal game you have featured in this video

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 12:06 pm GMT

    I'm not sure why, but I kinda want you to rick roll us in a random episode, like get our hopes up for something really cool then do it. I'd prollay forget i suggested this, but I would think it's funny.

  • ronzi_p

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 11:10 am GMT

    each week you make me laugh more. you rock

  • hostX9

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 11:07 am GMT

    Insane Xbox commercial is the best XD

  • Feryraiser

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 10:54 am GMT

    @CarlosRodela
    Yeah i guess it could work out, but like what would you inform us on?

  • Muisee

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 10:37 am GMT

    Lol @ my pick up line coming up as "Nerdywhiteboiz". Damn you Rodela, damn you indeed.

    @CarlosRodela It's completely possible to be hilarious and informative, like you have been before. I have faith. Don't screw up the best show on GS!!

  • Madball357

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 8:30 am GMT

    Did I really just see that ending?? Wow...........

  • CarlosRodela GameSpot staff member

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 7:34 am GMT

    would you all like to see the show get a bit more informative and serious (at times)? that's what i'm leaning towards with upcoming episodes. more information mixed with the zany sh#t

  • CarlosRodela GameSpot staff member

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 7:33 am GMT

    @anigmar you're welcome for the shoutout but you nerded out with me. that's all it takes sometimes.

    and to the idea that me getting slapped was staged...thats preposterous! ...
    ...
    ...
    seriously.

    ....
    ....
    erm.

  • CarlosRodela GameSpot staff member

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 7:31 am GMT

    @diabolik_023 that's a great idea on the noob stories. actually feeds into a slight change i'll be mixing in - for the show. you'll see next episode

  • Doomguard3

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 6:14 am GMT

    Oh come on the pickup lines sucked, it was so fake, staged and pointless, next time go talk to actual random women, not your colleagues.

  • diabolik_023

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 4:16 am GMT

    damn.... starting to get good... this show ! { suggestion } : - make the show at-least 10 minutes but no more then 15 minutes ; also , bring up some of your memories as a n00b gamer . OUT.

  • Anigmar

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 3:58 am GMT

    OMFG, my name on the show! Is it odd that I feel like a Star Wars fan who gets an autograph of George Lucas without having to pay him? Ouch, now I bet they'll close my SWTOR account... Anyway you said it right, no worries and ultra-high five! And a nerd high five is just like a normal one except our lack of physical prowess makes us miss horribly.

    About the show I have the feeling whoever made that Crabulator ad could get to work for EA. The concept and way it's described is totally in EA's ads.

    You should have specified her the ME3 was 4 people co-op. Wait, that sounds like swinger couples... It's hard cause women know 99% of what men say it's sex related. I'll tell u a story on twitter I can't post here lol.

    ROFL at Mario bike.

    On Omega Gangsta it really reminds me of today's kids and girls playing it. Not the clothes or eye-patch, but the swearing.

    Overall great episode and hey FUS-RO-DAH jokes are always funny. Keep up the good job!

    I laughed. That may not seem like much, but it takes a lot to make me laugh out loud.

    Nice one, just like all your previous episodes

    ouch! Too bad there so many renegades out there :p
    @CarlosRodela Great show! I liked da gangzta bit, yo. Next time, do a pirate one

    @CarlosRodela you never mentioned the banned Resident Evil commercial,although their was a good reason it was banned...

  • Alnamus

    Posted Mar 10, 2012 12:01 am GMT

    Dangit everytime I come across some uncomfortable pause or dramatic build-up Im gonna have to resist the urge to shout "CUBE". These are getting better and better. You should try some crabulator pickup lines sometime. "Hey baby, want a go with my crabulator? 6 bits of power all for you." I predict fus-roh-da-like slaps instead of those mild ones you got.
