Tesla Coil Mario Bros
I want some.
MIDI Visualization
From Kotaku. The Final Fantasy and Kirby videos are good also.
Ignis Solus
del.icio.us Tags: Machinima, Team Fortress 2, TF2 I’ve always had a soft spot for good Machinima. It is very interesting how expressive these can be, given the limitations of available animations. Even something as simple as position and orientation can convey emotion. Also I like the music.
The Most Powerful Person in the World
Lily ran across this video, which I rather like. It has a good surreal feel to it, but it does run a bit long. It can be very difficult trying to express what those of us who play games get out of them. Sometimes a game is only a challenge, a test of reflexes. Sometimes [...]
Portal
Portal is a lot of fun, even though it is short. Total time it took around three hours to finish, but it is an extremely polished experience. The difficulty curve is just right. The first few puzzles are very simple, but that seems to fit with the setting. You are a lab rat. They can [...]
Stephen Marley at the Temple Bar
Last Thursday Lily and I went to the Temple Bar to see Stephen Marley play. Thanks to Milton for the heads up. There are also a couple videos in that album, enjoy.
Vacuum Your Cat
Max and Vera have this to look forward to next Spring.
Halo Wars Looks Boring
I’m not sold on the idea of RTS games on the consoles in the first place, at least not in their current form. Selection is just too cumbersome, even with the BFME control style. From what we’ve seen of Halo Wars so far it doesn’t look like I will be changing my outlook any time [...]
Lego Movie 2
Without further adieu, I present to you my nephew’s second stop motion Lego movie. My favorite part? The Stormtrooper’s heads rolling out of the way after they get squashed, and the big red laser beams hitting Jar Jar Binks. If I remember correctly, Obi-Wan defeated General Greivous in Episode 3. Details, details… Once Lego Movie [...]
Meet the Heavy
This video is hilarious. Great marketing. In less than a minute and a half they portray the character of Heavy Weapons Guy flawlessly. Team Fortress 2 looks like it will be a lot of fun, I will definitely try it out. If you’d like to see a higher rez video it is available here. Check [...]
Custom Guitar Hero
Here is more evidence to show that if your fans go to great lengths to do something, it should be a feature in your next game. Apparently people have figured out how to create custom songs for the PS2 version of Guitar Hero 2. My favorite one so far is the Dueling Banjos:
Rejected
Every once in awhile Rejected by Don Hertzfeldt comes across my path. It gets funnier every time I watch it. I think it is getting close to the point where I just need to show my support and buy the DVD.
Lions, Crocodiles, and Bison
This video is amazing. I doubt that baby bison survived much longer though, after being drug around by lions for that long.
Web Crashes, All Data Lost
No! My datas! Breaking News: All Online Data Lost After Internet Crash
Trojan Horse, Have We Learned?
Apparently we haven’t.
Championship Pac-Man
The new Pac-Man game on Xbox Live Arcade is awesome. I’m really surprised at how such small changes to the gameplay result in such a different experience. The timer and pacing make it feel much more frenetic. The way the pellets spawn on either side via grabbing the fruit adds some strategy that was never [...]
Triumph at the Tonys
It is hard to top Triumph at Star Wars, but this comes very close.
A Reporter and a Rollercoaster
I almost feel bad for her, but it is so funny. They must have sought out the one reporter that had never ridden a big coaster.
Avatar meets 300
For those of you that have an inclination towards anime, I would recommend Nickelodeon’s Avatar. I opted not to link to nick.com because it is, shall we say, flash heavy. Avatar keeps a fast pace and does not retread action or story multiple times, and so does not suffer from DragonBall Z syndrome. It has [...]
