Patrick Klepek Rock God - Off-Topic

#1 Edited by johncallahan (262 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Not sure if this has been posted here or not (it hasn't as far as I could tell). Just kind of funny to see possibly the most well respected video game journalist of our time as a (presumably) drunk college kid who loves Guitar Hero.

Saw this, didn't even think to add it at first. Fixed now.

Also updated to YouTube videos since the 1UP player is atrocious. Thanks @fattony12000

Well this is great.

#3 Posted by RockinKemosabe (618 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Oh dear Lord, this is fantastic.

#4 Posted by thevigilanteoflove (459 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

I love what I just watched. Where is this from?

#5 Posted by BisonHero (3224 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

This has to be why he was hired at Giant Bomb. JUST LOOK AT THOSE LEATHER PANTS!

#6 Posted by johncallahan (262 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

1UP, I remember reading a tweet a few years back linking to this. Had to do some digging to find it, but well worth it.

DAT HAIR

God speed, Klepek. God speed.

Hahahaha what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

-1 point for purposeful ass crack

Didn't know Patrick was willing to go this far. This could make the next "2human" type video pretty entertaining.

Someone get The Doors on the phone, Jim Morrison is still alive.

With the hair he could be a stand in for the dude from Wolfmother

#14 Posted by punkxblaze (2426 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

@patrickklepek: That is pretty much the appropriate response. Fear not, for you are an editor at the Giantest of Bombs, where ridiculous bullshit is not just praised... but encouraged.

#15 Posted by kingzetta (4307 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Ah patrick is now an official giantbomb staff member.

Your not official until the community digs up your past.

#16 Posted by Th3_James (2537 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Oh fuck.

#17 Posted by Zimbo (874 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

This is something Patrick will no doubt look back on fondly when his grandchildren ask him about it.

Oh this is good.

#20 Posted by AlexAlterisio (88 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Looks like it's back to the old job search for Mr. Klepek. You think the Guitar Hero guys are hiring again yet?

#21 Posted by Xtrememuffinman (958 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

*cries*

#22 Edited by Alpha1 (246 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Patrick Klepek is Jim Morrison

#23 Edited by kuz101 (199 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

@EuanDewar: I was just about to post that.

On another note, that was amazing.

#24 Posted by Oldirtybearon (3096 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

I think I got a chubby.

I'd think it's required even.
Job Interview: "Patrick, did you ever do stupid shit on camera for the whole internet to see?"
Patrick:" ...umm ....kinda?"

That's a little presumptuous.

#27 Posted by jorbear (2503 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

@patrickklepek: Shit just got real.

#28 Posted by AhmadMetallic (18957 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

I thought this was about klepek's porn movie again.

That video was fun

#29 Posted by Atlas (2140 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

The afro and the serious rocking makes Patrick look like a white Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (At the Drive-In, The Mars Volta).

#30 Posted by CL60 (16906 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Well that was pretty awesome.

#31 Posted by UncleClassy (394 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

I laughed, I cried. In the end, I'm a better person for watching this.

#32 Posted by Gabriel (4035 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

PATRICK THAT GUYS GONNA ROB YO...oh he's just playing drums.

#33 Posted by benjaebe (2782 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Well, that just made my day.

#34 Posted by OroJackson (677 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Well that was pretty badass.

#39 Posted by AlexW00d (5433 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Patrick you're the greatest.

#40 Posted by OllyOxenFree (4555 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

I have just seen what I probably should have never seen. I must now go back in time to stop this event.

From the dank bowels of the internet. What was once a faint whisper, forgotten tomfoolery of the past, is resurfaced to bring humor to the masses and shame to Mr. Klepek.

#42 Posted by Cloudenvy (5729 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

What is videogames.

#43 Posted by Ithryn (70 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Ok, I will admit it, In my personal opinion, I always though Patrick was kinda boring.

I have just found a great respect for Pat now! Mr. Keplek...Welcome.

That's the first thought I had.

Also, this.

Crack is addicting.

#46 Edited by SpartanAmbrose (808 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

The hair! The pants! The dance moves!

This is absolutely brilliant.

#47 Posted by JammyJesus (751 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Those pants!

#48 Posted by KarlPilkington (2548 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Patrick will still always remind me of Chris Addison.

#49 Posted by BabyChooChoo (3579 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Jeff, Ryan, Brad, Vinny, and everyone else at Whiskey Media,

I do not ask much of you. However, this time I ask that you grant this humble soul this one wish. Please, never let Patrick forget and/or live this down. Please.

Sincerely,

-BabyChooChoo
