He almost had it.  He almost made all of 2008 a living hell for his fellow Runnerspace arcade junkies.  He could have made a whopping, massive $1200 last year but instaed had to settle for a measly $1100.  T'was the kanine-crazy Runnerspacer known as Shane who ended his reign of terror in the nick of time.  But, come on guys?  You gotta admit that being the arcade champ for the majority of 2008 is pretty spectacular.  Our good ol' arcade-whooper-of-many-asses friend still deserves some recognition for defending his crown 11 times!  I feel obligated to pay homage to fellow Runnerspacer Scherer in my own special way.......A PARODY ON THE KILLERS' LATEST HIT!  Yes, even before the [FRICKIN' AWESOME!!!] song "Human" by the The Killers came out last fall, us gamers were so impressed at Scherer's streak we wondered whether he was human or some alien from a planet where everybody is an arcade wiz.  We couldn't help but ask: "Is he Human or is he Scherer?" Well, he's Scherer allright!  So sit back and enjoy the following take on an awesome Killers song.   And if Scherer is reading this, I beg him to purchase the copyright to this parody song with his arcade winnings! ;-D

Is he Human or is he Scherer?

(An original parody by Empb28)

We did our best to smoke him

In the Runnerspace Arcade

But he shredded all of our asses

In every single frickin game we played

In Autobahn and Space Invaders

Mini Golf and Superdance

You name it, he whooped us

We didn't have a chance

Is he human? Or is he Scherer?

His scores were shit good

Our scores were low

And could someone please make it a bit clearer

Is he human? Or is he Scherer?

Pay your respects to the guy who warns you

That you are well-destined to lose

If you try him the arcade

It's a good bet you'll be singin' the blues 

But so-long to his win-streak

Shane got him in the nick of time

Stopped him dead, stole his check

But his reign was damn fine

Is he human? Or is he Scherer?

His scores were shit good

Our scores were low

And could someone please make it a bit clearer

Is he human? Or is he Scherer?

Will he be online tonight?

Putting up a hell of a fight

Re-claiming the arcade crown he one wore proud

Making 100 bucks off the Runnerspace crowd 

Is he human? Or is he Scherer?

His scores were shit good

Our scores were low

And could someone please make it a bit clearer

You gotta see this guy go!

Is he human? Or is he Scherer?

His scores were shit good

Our scores were low

And could someone please make it a bit clearer

Is he human? Or is he Scherer?

Is he human? Or is he Scherer?
