<div class="IPBDescription">I try to avoid too much attention.</div> OK heres a topic for sharing your embarrasing moments.
As alot of you probably know, I'm not one to stand out in a crowd.
I wouldn't even try. I'm happy lingering at the back and taking things in as they happen. So embarrasing myself in public is always top of my list of things to avoid.
So here's my tale of woe.
A few days ago in work, someone brings in a Sony Eye-Toy for the PlayStation2. I've seen them on the E3 video and never really thought much about them.... until now. Now, as with all items purchased from the public, they have to be tested. Usually my mate Sam would jump at the chance to get his blad mug on the t.v screen.... but he's off fishing somewhere. There's only myself and Justin there who can test the damn thing and Justin has been moaning about a sore shoulder for weeks.... damn.
So I take the game and camera out of the box and wire it all up.
Switch on the PlayStation2, pray that it explodes while starting up but no such luck.
I leave it switched on and running its demo for 10 minutes while I wait for the shop to empty out.
When the shop is finally empty I step up into the camera, adjust my hair and wave my hand abit to select a game.
I select "Keep-Up's"... I played Footy alot in my youth and feel confident of this game and wait for it to load up. When its loaded I watch as the ball falls to the ground.... then the 2nd ball is throw in and I use my shoulder to keep it up in the air... rock on.
After 2/3 more balls i've got the hang of it and the 3 minute timer is quickly worn down as I juggle the ball nimbly and replace all the names on the Hi-Score board with the name "poo" (Much to Justin's delight).
5 Minutes later i'm sick of doing keep-ups. So I return to the game selection game and I see the words "Kung-Foo".... this should rock.
The game basically involves you standing in the middle of the screen and slapping/kicking/punching these little dudes away as they approach from the sides of the screen. If they get too close you loose a "life". Simple.
As with the footy game it takes me a life or 2 before I've got a routine up and running and am Fung-Foo'ing the crazy panda things like Bruce Lee.
Now i really enjoyed playing this one, especially the bonus stage where I got to break planks of wood with my elbow (which eventually became my forehead and then my left nipple). I'm enjoying it soo much that i've started to say "peow!" and "pow!" and "wha-crack!" like the really old Batman show, to add to the masterful Kung-Fo moves oozing from my stance.
I get the high-score, I think to myself "I could do with a coffee", so I turn around and as I just about to say to Justin "cool that mate!" I notice the crowd...... There's about 8 people of different ages, all gathered round me in a nice neat circle that had been watching me. My jaw drops and they start clapping... I take a bow and then rush red-faced into the back of the shop and make myself a coffee. I stay there til 6pm and then go home.
What a day.

IMO, thats not as bad as some people's I have heard. IMO, it is a lot worse doing school presentations at school about your freaking self for all classes at the beginning of school year.
