Real Life 8Bit Waterslide Ride

Yes, you read that right.

An 8Bit waterslide ride in real life.

Of course, this fantastic video was yet again done by people with much more talent, creativity and attention for detail than me, but that won’t surprise any of you (mum, dad – thanks for stopping by).

The video is an entry in a competition from Barclaycard, a credit card company that probably won’t exist in 12 months. Unlike this video. It will stay with you forever – just like that weird rash that you caught on your holiday in Mexico.

The Seed makes me glow inside

The Seed is the title of this great animation.

It is very pretty.

And it makes me glow inside. In a good way.

Watch.

About: The journey of an apple seed.

Pretty colours ahead

It’s time for some Shatner.

Another Friday evening wasted.

Meh. Where did my life go? Ah, down the toilet. Now I remember.

The only thing that can turn this evening around is a decent Shatner song. And by decent I mean not utterly terrible.

The only decent cover version that William Shatner ever did without sounding like rape and murder to my bleeding ears was Common People by Pulp.

Debatable, I know.

But as long as no one ever posts any comments and argues with me or Jon, I will continue my reign of terror on this blog.

Yes, I am desperately fishing here. That’s what cheap cider will do to a man.

No more blah, blah, blah!

Little LEGO people building the Millennium Falcon. In LEGO and in stop motion.

I have watched Watchmen twice now and I am over it – back to the essentials.

This is secret video footage of the rebels building the Millennium Falcon. Many bothans died to bring us this information.

Of course, that’s nothing new. Bothans dying that is. They are probably the worst spies in the known universe.

In any case, what you probably haven’t seen yet is lovely little LEGO people building the LEGO Millennium Falcon in stop motion animation. This is awesome and pisses on Lucas’ later work.

Nevermind that this video is not historically accurate. We all know that Han Solo won the Falcon from Lando Calrissian in a game of cards. Still good though.

Yeah. So there we are, back to Star Wars. It only took a couple of days.

Bring me the hydrospanners!

Watch Out! It’s the Watchmen Saturday Morning Cartoon!

Well I saw the movie yesterday (more on that later) but for anyone who developed a facial tick when they heard that the movie had been greenlit, this might be enough to give you a stroke!

Melt your brains! Melt them to mush!

Do you know what’s important in life?
It’s not how many friends you have, or if you achieve a state of mental bliss.

The most important thing in life is to watch crazy, stupid stuff on the internets. Obviously!

This short little video was done by Cyriak, animation genius with a demented sense of reality. Or maybe he has escaped from a mental institution. It really doesn’t matter.

After watching this video, all those years of therapy, self-reflection and analysis will be for nothing. Your brain will turn into a mushy mess. Lovely!

Ackbar! The Star Wars Talk Show

It had to happen.

Even in a galaxy far, far away TV isn’t much better than here on Earth and trashy talk shows can be found on every holo-channel.

As if further proof was needed, the Skywalkers are shown as the moisture farming trash family that they really are.
