Polymorphic Autonomous Compound MANipulator
Or ‘Pac-Man’ for short.
I swear, there must be a farm somewhere that grows small groups of nerds who do nothing but make funny and geeky Internet videos all day. They usually include several dorky looking guys, and at least one hot chick. Yesterday we had live action Hey Arnold! and Doug, today we have a live action Pac-Man. And it’s awesome! The graphics of Pac-Man and the Ghosts are absolutely amazing. If this is the kind of work that amateur computer graphic artists are doing these days, then the future will be very cool indeed.
This movie is brought to us by the people at Machinima.
For the Love of Nicktoons
As I’ve often said on this blog, the Internet is full of wondrous and exciting things. All those creative types out there with big ideas and great senses of humor used to have to hope they were discovered to be heard. Now there is Youtube. Like this group called Dr. Cool Sex, who have made live-action trailers for modern day takes on famous Nicktoons.
First: Hey Arnold!
And then Doug.
I mean, come on, these are just awesome. They must have been a blast to make.
Geek Girl Uses Violin the Right Way
And that ‘right way’ is to make this awesome, choreographed Skyrim battle in the wilderness. Musician Lindsey Stirling and her band of merry men went out into the snow and other locales dressed in Skyrim-style costumes to play the Skyrim theme like no others! I love the Skyrim theme, so they’ve already got that in their favor. But Stirling herself is kind of adorable. And when she uses her violin bow as a sword in an epic, climactic battle, more power to her!
The Mother-badwording Pterodactyl!
I love The Oatmeal. Not the food product, no sir. But the Internet artist and comedian. The man is sheer brilliance. If you don’t already frequently read The Oatmeal, then what the heck are you doing here? Go! Go and enjoy! There is so much fun to be had!
What’s that, Internet? You’ve someone spawned a music video version of The Oatmeal’s Pterodactyl comic? And it’s so mind-blowingly insane that you can barely contain yourself? Don’t worry, Internet, I’m here to save you! We’ll get all my friends and readers to watch this brilliant song, and spreading the joy will make it easier!
Watch, my friends. Watch and be one with awesome.
I think that deserves a Hell Yeah!
Mario with Portals? Hilarity Ensues
Have you played MariO, the reprogrammed Super Mario Bros. 1 with a portal gun? I have, and it was really awkward to control, so I didn’t play very much. But a bunch of guys from Rooster Teeth, the team that makes Red vs. Blue, have decided to play 4-person MariO and it’s hilarious. If you can stand watching other people play video games, this 20-minute video is a blast. It’s funny from beginning to end as these guys deal with the utter insanity of cruising turtle shells and 4 separate sets of portals.
Totally worth a viewing.
