A Sad Portal Video

Even though the weekend is upon this, my girlfriend found this cool/sad Portal 2 epilogue video. I think it’s all CGI, and beautiful CGI at that. Made by Ronald the Cock. Consider this a nice, relaxing song to see you into the weekend…

Also, using the same music is this amazing animated video showing the adventures of Doug Rattman, the Aperture scientist who worked behind the scenes of Portal and Portal 2 to aid Chell’s escape. This video is about what happens between the two games, and Rattman ensuring Chell’s survival. It might make more sense if you’re familiar with the storyline from the Portal games.

I thought I’d posted this before, but I couldn’t find it. Here it is to the tune of “Exile, Vilify” by The National.

Hey, This is Crazy, But Bruce is Batman, Maybe

DON’T WATCH THIS VIDEO IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN The Dark Knight Rises. But if you have seen The Dark Knight Rises, then by all means watch this fun, musical parody of that ‘Call Me Maybe’ song that everybody seems to like. I find it catchy myself. And when it’s being used in the service of Batman, it’s even better!

Made by Wesley Freitas and friends.

Xavier and Magneto cover Wicked’s “Defying Gravity”

From http://www.Davidmay.net, this disturbing masterpiece (disturpiece?) takes clips from the X-Men cartoon with new voiceovers, with Xavier and Magneto singing Wicked’s Broadway song, “Defying Gravity.”

Expendables: The Musical

The gang at Legolambs is at it again, this time making a musical based on The Expendables. I liked the film well enough, but the concept of bringing together all of the old action star heroes into one team, one film, is brilliant. It also provides a robust choir for this new musical number!

Bob Ross Raises the Bar a Little

A month after PBS Digital Studios turned Mr. Rogers into an autotuned king of imagination, they’ve now done the same with painter extraordinaire Bob Ross and his happy clouds. If you can stand autotune, then behold a work of pure happiness!

Though, full discretion, I never watched Bob Ross as a kid…
