Storm Trooper's Day Off

This collection of fun photos depicts the adventures of two Storm Troopers in their time off. It's lighthearted and well shot. It'll put a little smile on your face.

Playing Card Ninja

If you've ever wanted to be a shuriken throwing ninja or perhaps Gambit of the X-Men, then this guy is an awesome inspiration. Rick Smith Jr can throw ordinary playing cards with such power and precision he can slice vegetables in half and put out candles from a few paces away. I think the cucumber is my favorite part. Its like one of those classic samurai cuts where the thing is left standing for a little bit after the hit.

This guy is similarly impressive with his business card throwing skills;

This is Not a Spiral

Pixels Invade New York

This fun little art film is kind of hard to describe. Essentially 8-bit creatures invade New York and go on a de-resing rampage. You'll just have to see it.

Social Johnny Cash Rotoscoping Video

This is an awesome website where you can use the onsite tool to rotoscope a single frame of "Ain't No Grave". The highest rated (by default, though you can pick other criteria) drawing in each slot gets dynamically included into the movie, slowly evolving into an awesome piece of art. Already it looks really cool, and I'm sure it will only get better!

*The* Action Film

Behold, I have witnessed the trailer to the action film. This is not just an action film, but the one that shall encompass them all. If this were a venn diagram, The Expendables would be the circle that engulfed every other film. "But why?" I hear you ask. Allow me to rattle off some of the cast:
-Sylvester Stallone
-Bruce Willis
-Jet Li
-Jason Statham
-Arnold "Get to the Choppah!" Schwarzenegger
-Mickey Rourke
-Stone Cold Steve Austin
-UFC Fighter Steve Couture

Now I'm not saying this movie will be "good" or that the acting will be decent, but if that isn't the makings of an action film, I don't know what is.

Rocket Launcher WTF?!

This is one of those wtf moments that's best left to the viewer. I just wonder, "Why the doll? WHY?!"

Oh, and this is from the "classic" film: Hard Ticket to Hawaii

Religion on Free Thinking

An extremist view, but sadly not uncommon.

YouTube's April Fools

YouTube's done an awesome thing. I'd say more, but it really should just be experienced. ASCII art ftw!

You can see their blog post about it here:

Nike Air's Secret

Did you know Nike has finally revealed its shoe secrets? It might astound you. (Or considering the date it might not...)

The Future of Music

Here's a cool way of visualizing music. Or is it a cool way of driving music with visuals?! Its the chicken and the egg thing, but with TRON lasers and future music.

If You Dream, The Terrorists Win

Aside from the fact this video is just over the top, take a moment to step back and appreciate how much can be conveyed by a good sound artist. In this day and age we focus so much on the visuals of movies and games, but don't forget about that sound technician who brought it all together. Those guys are fucking sweet!

... but us visual guys are still more important of course...

Galactic Empire State of Mind

Well if YouTube is to be used as a cultural thermometer (or perhaps barometer would be more appropriate?) then Jay-Z's song "Empire State of Mind" with well over 60 million views is something you've already seen. You know, the one where he awkwardly avoids making eye contact with the camera even when he's the only thing on screen?

Anyway, as with all big things it turns out they're better with Star Wars. Heck, this one even has an awesome title for it.

Ben Folds and Chat Roulette

So hopefully everyone here already knows what Chat Roulette is because you're all so internet savvy. Sadly its mostly filled with pervs and other such undesirables. However a man named Merton took a stand and did something totally sweet; he improved music to the people he encountered. Its hilarious in of itself (and immensely popular), but it gets better.



People were speculating who he was, and many people decided he was Ben Fold the famous musician. Well, he's not but Ben Fold loved the idea so much he ended up doing it live in concert! Whats better, he's good at it too!

Virigin's First Spacecraft Test Flight

Oh man, I've been following Virgin Galactic ever since they seriously started pursuing commercial space flight. Well they've certainly taken another massive step forward as they flew the combined mothership and spacecraft together in a test flight (though they remained connected for this one, no actual space flight). If nothing else you have to admit that the craft look damned sexy.

For those of you who don't know, the basic idea is to have the mothership fly the spacecraft up high into the air, where it then ignites and propels itself the rest of the way into space. With the entire setup being entirely reusable it should hopefully usher in a new era where you can buy tickets to space for a "reasonable" price!

Skeleton Jack Visits St. Patty's Day

Did you ever wonder what Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas would have thought of all those other holidays he missed out on? How about Saint Patrick's Day? Well look no further as Jack ponders the mystery of this booze soaked celebration.

Die Hardly Working

I'm constantly impressed at visual quality of the movies the guys at CH can put out. This action film isn't exactly highbrow stuff, but it's amusing to watch. My main complaint is that the ending is kind of weak, but the ride is worth it.

Caution: Sparta

I know this is a little joke is a little old now, but it made me laugh so I'll share it anyway. At least they're nice enough to give you fair warning.

Zombie Apocalypse Survival Flowchart

This flowchart here will answer all of your zombie survival questions, namely: "Would I survive?"

Sadly, the answer is overwhelmingly no, though you might get a sequel and some sweet zombie fights before you go down. There isn't much more you could wish for really.

Wario Shakes Youtube

Hot on the heels of my post of Frito-Lays' salsa commercial on Vimeo I bring the Warioland Shake It YouTube commercial. It was actually done before the salsa one, and took a different approach to it. I won't give anything away, but I'll point out that you should try playing around with all the bits afterwards. Its a pretty clever setup.
