I've always loved this video...never realized that this one was created by the same artist who did the Scott Pilgrim game. Animator Paul Robertson has done some powerfully messed up work, this one being perhaps his most tame. Hit up his livejournal site to see the rest.
A nice little gem from Adult Swim...this is a bit from the books that didn't make it to the movies. But it features the movie's cast as voice talent. WIN.
This is a pretty cool little bit of geekery. You know how when people need to sell an idea, they sometimes get visual aids like slides and such? Well Ubisoft actually put together this animatic/prototype that shows the concept for the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World game and its many scenes that reference classic games. And it features chiptune versions of Cherub Rock and Seven Nation Army. Rawk. The final game didn't end up too close to this (it is actually much better,) but this is a cool insight into how this stuff is done, nonetheless. Enjoy.
NOTE: The play button is hard to see...got clipped off. Just click the little blue part in the lower right corner.
This guy may be the most awesome drummer to ever grace the VFW circuit. He is pure energy and showmanship, routed through a feminine hygiene device, and thusly rendered inappropriately awesome at Bar Mitvas and Weddings.
Dude. I don't know about you, but if the world has to end, I want it be 8-bit style. Old school vibes meet new school tech as Patrick Jean delivers us to our Nintendo Overlords. And I, for one, welcome them.
Hello Rewind will take your old T-Shirts and turn them into laptop sleeves. Hipsters take note: This is an entirely new medium with which to be ironic. What are you waiting for?
I feel that perhaps "Awesome Sauce" is used, by me, too often in this blog. You could argue that to delve into hyperbole too often is to cheapen the effect of words like "awesome". Well, fuck that. Here is perhaps the most awesome thing I've ever posted in the category. An all-star send-off to Conan in the form of a wild rompus. Free bird, mofos. Recognize anyone in particular in this clip? Perhaps Ben Harper on the steel guitar? Is that ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons? That wouldn't be Beck, would it? Will Farrell on lead vocals doing his best Van Zandt? Cowbell? Yes, they're all there with the Max Weinberg Band, and a vicious solo by Coco himself. Do not delay. Watch it now.
Just wanted to give a quick shout out to the coolest kids show, like, ever. Yo Gabba Gabba is about seven kinds of awesome. Of which I shall recount here:
1) Japanese designer toy inspired characters 2) 8-bit art design and typography 3) Chip tunes 4) Jumpsuits 5) Beat boxes 6) Break dancing 7) The main character is a freakin' DJ
To celebrate the season, I thought I'd post one of the best riffs on the classic Rankin/Bass holiday special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer brought to us by Verizon Wireless. It's a deep stab at poor ole' iPhone and its anemic 3G coverage (allegedly anemic, says this proud iPhone owning editor.) But even this apple fanboy has to give credit where it is due, cause this one is pretty brilliant...right down to voices of the perfect recreations of the classic characters. Speaking of which, anyone else ever notice how similar the Island of Misfit Toys is to Big Gay Al's Animal Sanctuary? Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that the dentist elf was different for more than just his lack of pointy ears. Just sayin.
