Welcome to the Replay Couch, where we kick back and watch the best, and worst, of recorded video game history. Each week we'll be offering up a compilation of compelling captures from the world of insane speed-runs, chance kills, competitive moments, and hilarious happenings from the past and present.

Be sure to check out last week's edition for more crazy digital stunts and creative stupidity. And now, on with the show.

Trailer of the Week: MechWarrior 2 (link to this video)

I've professed my love for Team Fortress 2's Spy class in the past, but many find its stealthy intricacies to be overwhelming. Now you too can be a master of espionage, as Daedalus runs you through an excellent tutorial on cloaking and daggering.

Impossible Video of the Week: Not Great (link to this video)
This is one of those gaming challenges that I knew would be ripe for the internet masses. Displaying stunning accuracy and quickness, okaay10 runs through the target house of Call of Duty 4's tutorial so quickly that even the announcer gets confused.
