The MovingFoward videos
The MovingFoward videos are a compilation of three leaked videos (MovingFoward, MovingFurtherFoward, 100_2209.MOV) where Chris physically destroys his PS3. Having first followed good hard drive disposal practice, Chris says a few choice words before destroying the console with a brick, his car, and some scissors. Some photographs of the console in various states of destruction were also leaked.
Chris notes that after smashing his console and driving over it with his car, he plugged it in again, apparently to prove that it would no longer function. He seems to have been unaware of the danger of fire or electric shock involved (or perhaps, in his despondent state, he simply didn't care).
Many trolls have came up with theories as to why Chris did such an out-of-character act such as smashing his beloved Life Upgrade, but the fact remains the same - he smashed what many thought was the unsmashable. Interesting to note here is that, like the snake he tried to run over, the cardboard box and the clown doll, it takes Chris three tries just to kill his PS3.

Part one (MovingForward)
[An opening title card appears, which reads "MovingForward." We cut to Chris, who is standing around outside and shakily filming himself with a handheld camera.]
Saturday, August 28, 2010.
[Chris removes his glasses.]
I make this video as a tribute to what I have lost. But also from which I have lost, I have lost something that was of important value, but I am able to let go. It is the spirit of myself, of which was very lonely. But now move on, to a much brighter future. And now for the feature presentation on this video. What you are about to see is uncensored and unedited.
[He moves the camera to show his PS3, which has a case cover plastered in artwork of himself and Sonichu.]
My PlayStation 3, here in the back yard.
[He opens the access port to show the hard drive.]
The hard drive still in there. Formatted as it was. And for a memento, I'm keeping the cover.
[He removes the case cover, complete with the original Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles illo, and puts it to one side. Then he focuses the camera on himself again.]
Again, this very graphic, so if you are weak in the stomach, especially as a gamer, look away, and I mean no disrespect to Sony Computer Entertainment America. Maker of the fine product.
[Chris mumbles something unintelligible amid the noise of moving the camera. He then sets the camera down so it is focused on his PS3.]
Vessel of my loneliness for the past three years of anguish. I bid you fond...faredoo. Adieu. Fond farewell...
[Chris puts on a pair of work gloves and picks up a piece of landscaping brick while an airplane flies overhead. He then uses the brick to lightly tap his PS3 for the better part of a minute, never raising the brick over his head and only cracking the outer case, stopping a few times to rest.]
Crushed... Unplayable... The deed is done.
Part two (MovingFurtherForward)
[Cut to a second title card, "MovingFurtherForward." It is nighttime. The camera is looking at Chris's driveway, in front of his running car. The headlights allow us to see Chris place the PS3 in front of the left front wheel of Son-Chu. He gets in the car, backs up, and pulls forward, running over the PS3. Then he backs up over it and pulls forward over it again.]
Well, you get the idea anyway. It's useless. Broken.
Part three (REALLYMovingForward)
[Cut to a third title card, "'100_2209.MOV' (A.K.A. 'REALLYMovingForward')." We are in Chris's bedroom. The camera shows us the wreckage of his PS3, very much the worse for wear. In addition to beating the hell out of it, he appears to have cracked the case and broken it down to its component parts, which he shows us by panning the camera around.]
Ah. Well, I run it over with a car and smashed it with a brick. Ugh. I thought I hit it on the metal part and the heavy plastic, but still, when I look at, still, when I plugged it in, it did not turn on. Actually, it went into standby mode, but that's all, as far as it went. That's all it went. So right now I'm gonna finish the job. Finish the job.
[Chris sets down the camera to show himself and the PS3 parts. He then picks up a pair of scissors, which he uses to stab repeatedly at bits of his former console. Partway through the stab-fest, he unfolds scissors and goes at it two-fisted. Tiring after about 45 seconds, he folds up his scissors and sifts through the debris.]
Look at that bend. Broke a whole buncha stuff. Now you tell me it's still good! It ain't now!
[Chris stands up and the video cuts off.]
