You Tube Classics

[Amb]

Some years ago I saw this on TV...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSs7NCWp6kA

... I have never laughed as much at that show as this skit. I have remembered (slightly wrongly) for years.

Anyone else got any recommended classics?

[Death Mage]

One of the greatest game commercials ever.

Well, in my humble opinion anyway. I'm glad I saw that commercial, becuase it made me desperately want to play the game.. which is still one of my favorites today.

Soundtrack by Thomas Dolby and puzzles by Scott Kim....I'm going to check that out.

[Pablo]

You've probably seen the quick change act. But if not, check it out.

I don't know how they came up with the idea, but you can see they are really enjoying themselves - pure pleasure.

MTV videos are only about the music of course

What are we talking about again? I totally forgot.

[Coyote]

Okay, it's not quite accurate in a few of its details. Still, if you've ever wondered what it would be like to have the Earth get hit by a 500-mile-diameter meteorite, this cheerful bit of animation should give you a fair idea.

[wordcross]

so a giant meteor would turn the earth into the deathstar?

speaking of which.

I also liked Pablo's video, thanks Logain for recommending it. (who would have thought it would be good) Still haven't seen the others yet - dial-up connection.

[Death Mage]

Samadhi: Considering the company that made the game has been out of business for almost a decade? They made a few crappy games, and a few great games, even made Heat.net (one of the many services that allowed local network games to be played over the internet, most died out when Quakespy/Gamespy 3D came out and made it so much easier). Wikipedia says they lasted until 2000, but they were effectively dead before that. I actually half about half of the games listed on Wikipedia (and I know they made others that werent listed, like Three Dirty Dwarves), some I bought (Obsidian, Rocket Jockey), some I got for free for being a paying member of Heat.net (Vigilance, Flesh Feast, Plane Crazy, and more, all in all it was WELL worth paying for Heat.net given all the free shit they gave me). You're not going to be able to find Obsidian on sale anymore unless you really scour for it, and you can't find it on abandonware sites becuase it was five CDs large (lots of multimedia, it's a Myst clone (although IMHO better)).

Whew. Damnit, you went and got me talking about video games. See what happens? I do hope you find it though, but it may not work on modern systems.

[Narninian]

damn it- - wish I still had rocket jockey

[Death Mage]

This may cheer you up then. I've been craving playing Rocket Jockey again lately too, but it won't install on modern systems anyway.

[Samadhi]

Damn. I was thinking about DLing from utorrent. Oh Well.

[Antrax]

A sample Quake 3 trickjumping movie. This is what I've been doing lately instead of actually playing the game. The idea is to exploit bugs in the game's physics engine to reach high speeds, jump heights and the such. That's what you see when you see the character in the movie jumping left-right and looking like a moron - if you turn your mouse right and approach the jump at the right angle, you can get a 1.4 boost to your speed with each jump. The other main idea is to use the blasts from your own weapons to boost you, which is why you see him shooting rockets at walls and on the floor all the time.

Alright, I can't resist. if you haven't seen this (or, better still, if you have !)

not safe for work. not safe for anything really.

I have to confess I also like this one: Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years.

Others have done it (including some spoofs), but none with nearly the same effect.

I just saw this one today. I think you'll like it:

[Dan]

This isn't genuine, they used save-state and probably other types of cheating. Doesn't make it less fun to watch though.

[Talitha]

We like our sport over here in NZ, especially rugby. But even better than watching the game, is the pre-match HAKA.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpNfaVocfV8

Don't those Boks look scared?

[Antrax]

Dan, those speed runs are made by pasting together parts of tens of thousands of attempts, playing the game frame-by-frame and disassembling the ROM to find bugs in the game's engine that can be exploited to gain speed or bypass some areas. Snapshots are the least of your worries.
They still are cool, though. I really like the Super Mario World one.

Just as it happens, I was watching this not two minutes ago. Anyway, who doesn't like Weird Al?

My favourite at the moment is You are a pirate! Found it on a blog where someone was trying to googlebomb "Photoshop serial" and had the link pointing to that vid. Brilliant.

My kids watch Lazytown


OK, here is a little of my favourite TV show of all time:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIYVuomGJHY

And this one has two of the best lines ever written for TV...
"Boomshanka" and something about being sycophantic:

Edit: whoops, fixed

[Samadhi]

I didn't notice the timer skipping. Could you give an example?

[Courk]

At the end of the first world the timer seems to stick on 294, but I can't be positive since I can barely make it out.

[Antrax]

It's not really cheating, it's just a different philosophy. http://tasvideos.org/CheatFAQ.html

Always liked that one.

This should brighten up your day a little. (And you know who you are)

[Pablo]

Don't mess with this guy

I don't know why no one has posted this yet, and furthermore, i don't know why *I* haven't posted it yet!
