“Try Telling That To My Baby” by The Heavy Blinkers
I really like this video for The Heavy Blinkers’ “Try Telling That To My Baby”: Because what’s not to like about cute animated cupcakes and Busby Berkeley numbers involving candy? I like the song too. This kind of setting used to be much more common in games, especially in the jump and runs of the [...]
Cool children’s prank involving a train
Boys will be boys. Watch it: it’s really funny. Nice Idea – video powered by Metacafe (Via David Petrie.)
The OLE Coordinate System simulates M.C. Escher in real-time 3D
OLE Coordinate System is a mind-blowing graphics system developed by Jun Fujiki. Mr. Fujiki has written a 3D display / collision engine that simulates the impossible spatial logic from the work of M.C. Escher. The reality of the autonomous character is affected by how his reality looks to you, the observer. If you don’t see [...]

If by some chance you haven’t yet heard of “Zero Punctuation”, Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw’s video game review column over at The Escapist, well, go check it out. It’s very entertaining.

Batman by Dostoyevsky

Luckily I won’t have to try anymore, since R. Sikoryak has remade the book in the style of an old-school Batman comic. Behold the adventures [...]
Vocaloid 2: Yamaha’s anime song generator
Here is an interesting article about Vocaloid 2, a program developed by Yamaha that, given lyrics and a melody, generates anime-style singing. The singing sounds like a normal human voice modified by digital effects, such as one can hear in some of the music kids listen to these days (and I am assuming here that [...]
Japanese ‘Human Art’ stop-motionesque video
You may have seen the ‘Matrix Ping Pong’ video a few years ago. I just came across a video in a similar style (perhaps from the same TV show) that is quite cool: Both have links to various other videos like it, which I did not watch. Let me know if they’re good. (Via William [...]
An official (?) Super Mario World level that plays itself
Here is a level from Super Mario World that you can finish by simply not touching the controller. Setting this up must have been an immense effort – it’s breathtaking. The Only Mario Level That Plays Itself – Watch more free videos (Via Boing Boing.)
