What I learned this week is that I am a bigger wuss than I thought I was. Let me explain. I've been play a game on my Playstation 3 (thank you, Suresh!!!) called "Uncharted". If you are not familiar with the game, which I will assume includes most of you, it is a cross between Indiana Jones and National Treasure. You control a character named Drake who is searching for El Dorado. Pretty cool set up, right? The game has you traveling to exotic locations, exploring for treasure, and getting in gun fights with bad guys. All in all, a great time.
So I'm playing the game late at night when it undergoes a bit of a change. I find myself in a secret bunker with no lights, that is populated with zombies. Not the arms outstretched, shambling along kind either. No, these were the "quick, scuttle across the floor, and bite you in the neck" kind. The popped up out of no where in the game. Scared me so bad I nearly jumped out of the chair. I managed to fight them off but then I had to explore a creepy tunnel and they kept jumping out at me. Just when I finally thought I was done, one dropped down on my character from the roof. Scared me so bad I dropped the controller! That was it! I turned it off and had to finish it during the daytime. Painful to admit, but apparently I cannot play certain video games at night...and that's what I learned this week.
Aaron...you didn't need the video game to reveal to you that you are a wuss. All you needed to do is ask me...I could've told you! Love Ya...Brian

Seriously? I finished that game a while back and don't remember getting scared. For real chills try some Silent Hill. Silent Hill 3 (on original Xbox) sub basement jail scene maybe the scariest video game sequence ever.
You are just lucky there were no phone camera recorders back when we were kids. I would post a recording of you on the Scooby Doo roller coaster. Then your true wussiness would be revealed.
But hey you stand up in front of people and talk. That takes some bravery.
