Note to readers: WTFriday is a weekly feature where I find something stupid about video games and get you to laugh until it goes away. Please try to forget this is what I normally do every day of the week.
You'll have to excuse me for returning once again to the 90s promotional video well for this week's WTFriday; I can't help the fact that said well is seemingly bottomless. But to tell the truth, there's also something about the production quality of these promos that amuses me to no end; it's almost as if the multi-million dollar marketing teams I assume they paid to put these things together only had one idea written on a whiteboard in giant letters: "MTV-STYLE EDITING." So I guess it's more than fitting that such a worthless, gimmicky editing technique was applied to a video about the worthless, gimmicky console add-on known as the 32X. Yes, I went there; and I don't think anyone really minds, because the world's only 32X fan is as elusive as Bigfoot himself. But wherever this mysterious creature is, you can bet he has a constant loop of this running in his cave.
Fun fact: a girl once asked me if I was 32Xing yet, though I'm pretty sure she was just trying to sell me drugs.

About Bob Mackey
For a brief period of time I was Bull from TV's
Night Court, but some of you may know me from the humor column I wrote for Youngstown State University's The Jambar, Kent State University's The Stater, and Youngstown's alternative newspaper, The Walruss. I'm perhaps most well-known for my bi-weekly pieces on Something Awful. I've also blogged for Valley24.com and have written articles for EGM, 1UP, GameSpite and Cracked. For all of my writing over the years, I have made a total of twenty American dollars. It's also said that I draw cartoons, which people have described with words such as "legible." I kidnapped the Lindbergh Baby and am looking to do so again in the future.
