I later read that it's specifically RPGs they're talking about. Anyone know of any other flying whales?
Skies of Arcadia has a flying whale as part of a Moby Dick-based subplot. And if I recall correctly a flying whale factors heavily into the plot of Baten Kaitos, though it doesn't show up until the very end of the game.
You know what's more fun than watching people fall off skateboards? People failing while free running.
With skateboarding people lose control and then fall off something. That's understandable. Here, people look like they are just throwing themselves at the floor. Which is EXACTLY what they are doing.
Also, in skate videos you don't see people throwing themselves off buildings.
EDIT:
I'd like to submit a computer controlled accordion, built in 1988. The same guy also built the computer that controls it. He knows exactly how awesome he is:

This is in reply to templar21's post with the samurai trooper image. "Crossover Storm Troopers" are killing Star Wars. Perhaps killing is a strong term, maybe raping is a better word. There are many examples of this. Elvis trooper, Burger King Trooper, Hello Kitty Trooper, Fem Troopers (i do however admit that I would take one back to my place, and ask her to leave the armor on), Hippie Trooper, Spiderman Trooper, Samurai Trooper, Black Hole Storm Trooper, Elvis Trooper and the Steam-punk Storm Trooper. (worst image avaible) (btw if u want to see these othere troopers lemme know. Or a simple googles search will do you nicely) These Troopers are just awful. They are are taking two good ideas and the mixing them together and coming up with a pile of shit. It is like Cupcakes and Bacon Cheeseburger, awesome things by themselves but would be horrific if combined. They are just diluting the fandom. Storm Trooper crossovers are like Kirk/Spock slash fic, sure you may have an awesome j/o session but you fell as if you need to take a shower and scrub with steel wool afterwords. I do however give them credit for making something instead of sitting on their asses. What they did takes some talent. But still it is terrible for SW fandom. I am a giant, giant Star Wars nerd. I have several (well a few (fuck it, I have 2) tattoos, and I have read many (well maybe too many) SW books, listen to a couple SW podcasts and own countless toys and a couple 1000 doll hairs worth of "real collectables." So my opinion caries weight (HA!). Listen people, when I am more coherent I will post a real reply on why the crossover troopers are bad for fandom, but it is after 5am here and basically I am tired as a Spice Miner on Kessel who has worked 3 shifts. And I need to be up in 2 hours.

Here's the guy's website. Dude sure likes fish.
This would also be appropriate in the WTF of Your Day thread.

That rendition has made me consider buying a ukulele.
