I thought I'd post a couple of geeky videos I've seen recently. This first one is for all you time-travel geeks who enjoy Doctor Who and Back to the Future:
Who do you think won?
And the next is a mashup of Psy's "Gangnam Style" with "Ghostbusters", in honor of Halloween coming up this Wednesday:
For those of you (like me) who didn’t play through Portal 2 the night it was released…here is the song that plays during the end credits. Like “Still Alive”, it is written by Jonathan Coulton.
I still like “Still Alive” better, but this one’s growing on me!
For those of you impatiently waiting for the release of The Hobbit, Peter Jackson has posted a 10-minute-long video blog from the set to help tide you over. And there will be more to come!
This show makes me really wish my boyfriend and I had cable. This show is premiering on HBO April 17, and is adapted from George R. R. Martin’s “Song of Ice and Fire” series (which apparently I really have to read). Sean Bean—who you may remember as Boromir in Lord of the Rings—stars in the show.
Are you excited for this superhero movie or not? Does this new footage change what you think of the upcoming Green Lantern movie (as compared to the trailer)?
Amazed. Just amazed. It was obviously meant to be humorous and entertaining, but their playing skills are pretty damn good too! In short, I just <3 this video to death.
My boyfriend first introduced me to this song, long before he got me into playing the Halo series. We just started playing Halo: Reach after a long vacation from it, which caused this song to get stuck in my head as we rocked the house in Grifball.
I’m sure any gamer that enjoys first-person shooters can agree that this song is not only pretty awesome, but accurate, too. Who doesn’t play Halo: Reach or Call of Duty: Black Ops for a chance to show off their controller mastery to their friends? And what better way to do that than blowing off their heads?
Anyway, this song comes from the Halo 3 Soundtrack (which was an all-around good soundtrack).
So, a lot of states in the US that normally don’t get snow (or at least a lot of snow), have gotten snow, “snowstorms”, and the like. All of us in North Dakota are laughing at you. I’m sorry for being so blunt about it, but this is one of the reasons I love living in ND—I get pelted with both 100+ degree weather in the summer, and –50 degree weather in winter. WE CAN TAKE ANYTHING.
<—There is a F#*$ing three story building behind this snow pile. BEAT THAT.
Not saying North Dakota is invincible. If there’s a blizzard bad enough, the interstate will shut down. This usually only happens once a winter, maybe. Car accidents happen, of course…but not like this:
That is why those of us in North Dakota rock. As a side note, the past few days it’s been a warm 30 degrees in ND. Nearly everyone has ditched their winter coats and gloves for a sweatshirt. Hurray for above zero weather!
Are you going to see this in theaters? I might…but probably not in 3D. Overall, I’m hoping Marvel has changed their “let’s-totally-fuck-up-the-comic-book-characters-just-to-make-others-happy” attitude. Granted, I never really read Thor comics, so I won’t know if they totally shredded the dreams of comic fans.
Gah! This blows my mind. Keep watching…midway into the video I started to wonder if this was even real. This makes me wish the cog from Gears of War was really one of the squid gears from this video!
I’ve been a long-time believer that Kinect is totally awesome, thrilling, and all-around amazing. This video, which a friend posted on my Facebook walll, is further proof of that:
BigJones keeps telling me how excited he would be if he could play Fable III on Kinect. Playing an RPG this way just seems…fun! At least this encourages WoW players to get out of their computer chairs and moving around!
Have you ever heard of Hatsune Miku? If you’re an Anime fan, you may have. If you’re a music fan, you might have. Hatsune Miku 16-year-old fictional character, created by Crypton Future Media to put a face to their singing synthesizer application known as a vocaloid, which is Yamaha technology. Basically, the technology was created so music composers could type in lyrics and a melody to synthesize singing.
Surprisingly, though, this fictional character has become Japan’s favorite celebrity, beginning when Exit Tunes Presents Vocalogenesis feat. Hatsune Miku topped the Japanese Oricon album charts May 31, 2010. Suddenly, the fictional Hatsune Miku was performing live in Japan and overseas. Here she is performing live!
Since then, multiple albums have been created with the Hatsune Miku software, thanks to people uploading songs using the vocaloid. Her popularity has also caused her to appear in video games and many other forms of media. Here is the video for one of the anime character’s most popular songs created with the program, Silence.
