whoa that one pile of polygons totally stabbed that other pile of polygons with a long skinny polygon

Believe it or not, but that was shitty pre-rendered FMV polygons and not real-time polygons. The in-game models were horrendous but I always excused it as being a polygonal version of the tiny character sprites in previous FF games. Well, the models in the battle arenas were a bit better.

Spoilers- Jesus dies.

Wat?! No wai!

1st softened me pretty hard. I have a 4 month old, couldn't imagine how the guy felt.
2nd, neckbeard and his style distracted the message :/
3rd was neat, funny
4th, ungrateful little teen, what else is new, and insurance?! slightly misty though lol
5th was sad, pets are like kids to some people
Kinda skipped over the 6th and 7th.
I quit at video 8. Onions.

I started crying after the 5th video when I realized I still had 14 to go, then I just said screw it and closed it

ugh, it's long. Already watched some of these before too. Didn't cry. I won't cry but these will all be displeasing I am sure.

Oh god. That was terrible. I was thinking like yeah right. I only watched two, the first one and the soldiers returning home and they both got me.

Well I didn't watch all of them, the ones of movie endings that I didn't see (see ALL of them on this list) I didn't want to ruin.

I still feel the first one, as a father is fucking brutal.

yup. I'm not technically a father, but was like a dad to my ex's daughter for 4 years. I love that little girl like she were my own. It hit home whenever he talked about buying her first bike (which I did), walking her to school, etc... I got choked up. The Thai commercial broke me down, though. I couldn't stop crying some like 15 minutes. Whenever he tried begging the doctor to take his blood and when he was writing his daughter a card about how much he loved her... man, but reliving that scene is getting me choked up.

Anyway, yeah...

Did not cry. Did laugh at:

1) corny homeward bound scene
2) corny will smith acting
3) dead cat

Soldier homecoming got me...

I don't know what I'm going to do for my wife if I deploy and come back... All I hope for is to come back in one piece to my wife!

There's certain parts of that soldier one that really get me. And the one with that dog Oden since I've had to put two dogs to sleep.

Kinda messed up...I don't think any of those videos could get one tear, but I know if I see that Futurama episode with the dog waiting for Fry I'll get choked up. Choking up just thinking about it. And one of the videos has a dog sitting by his dead master.
