For a few videos galore

Wed, 14 Dec 2011

Been somewhat busy again, but no matter. Carrying on a recent trend of posting videos, here are a few more I’ve picked up my website absence…

First off is a reading of ’twas the night before Christmas’ in several impersonated voices.  Not all are spot on, but the range and ease of transitions are pretty damn impressive in this…

 

Second for some real good fun is this little animated pokemon short which everyone has probably seen by now but I just love.

 

And then we have a demonstration by the brilliant folks at MIT of a camera that can capture video of photons traveling at the speed of light.  Awesome concept?  Awesome concept.

 

Here’s a quick slice of some Battlefield 3 gameplay that is just top shelf with perfect choice of music…

 

And finally, this stop-frame animated short film is just brilliant and effective in its simplicity.

 

Actually, make that one second to last.  Thinking about it, I probably should have separated these out more, but meh…  This one can thematically round out this post where we started with something Christmas and we’ll end with something else Christmas-ish… (if it doesn’t inadvertently ends everything else in the world)…

You’re welcome.

Hrmmm…

It’s 1 in the morning, the rain in the city tonight has been mental and I just realised that I’ve not slept properly for nearly the last week or so…  whoops.

Mostly it’s because the majority of my awake time has been spent playing Battlefield 3 till some irresponsible time in the morning.  So now, I’m going to bed and getting a decent enough night’s sleep.  That was my thinking until I watched this full 20 minute clip of an incredible gaming rig that sets a player up in a fully goddamn immerse 360 degree dome, with motion sensors, ambient lights, freaking paintball guns and aw hell…  here’s the trailer…

Oh baby…  No.  Sleep.  Definitely sleeping.
