Animation: Magical Misfits




An animated short film about the wizard Melf and his assistants, a little cheeky devil and a fairy. Melf lives in the highest tower in an ancient town, eagerly exploring the secrets of sorcery and magical spells. But performing magic day and night is also very laborious--and unfortunately assistants aren't as reliable as in old times.

Game: Pacman




Simply put, a classic. There are a huge number of Pacman versions available on the web. This one, however, is easily the truest to the original that I've ever come across on the net.

Flash Animation: Bankomat




Another very cool, yet hard to understand flash movie from Russia. In this one it seems as if some kind of revolution takes place in a futuristic world in which humans are merely fuel...

Video: Ricochet




Featured primarily as a visual effects showcase, Ricochet puts the viewer in the middle of an all out battle between two disparate armies set in an apocalyptic near-future environment.

Video: Playstation 9




Very cool viral ad for a the Playstation 2 that tries to show the future direction for game systems. While this ad is a couple years old, it's still fun to watch. And consider this...it was less than 30 years ago that the Atari 2600 first made it's appearance and changed home gaming forever. When you look at how far this technology has come in those 30 some odd years, is this ad so far fetched?

Flash Animation: Objectionable Apparatus




This is a tragic tale told in a trippy surrealistic world. This flash artist is obviously very talented, although one may have to question what kind of thoughts are running through the authors mind after watching this.

Flash Animation: Circle of Life




Interesting flash piece that shows a big-headed guy as he walks through life.

Tuesday, February 14, 2006

Saturday, February 11, 2006

Game: Planet NoNeMe




This is very similar, yet not nearly as polished, as the very popular 'Grow' games. (Check here, here, & here). Basically, you need to click items in the proper order so that each item will 'level up' to their max value.

Thursday, February 09, 2006

Game: Pretty Pretty Bang Bang




Pretty Pretty Bang Bang is a simple action game of avoidance, bosses, and chain reactions. Basically, you are the white ball. You move with the mouse. You explode yourself with the mouse button to turn the red balls green...green balls are the only ones that can't hurt you, and are also the only ones that can damage the 'bosses'. Play it a few times and you'll pick it up quickly.

Video: The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds




This is a music video for the song 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds'. Actually, it's just a clip from the movie 'The Yellow Submarine', but is often referred to as the 'video' for the song. Considered by many to be the best sequence of the movie, often called 'the dream within a dream' sequence.

Video: South Park - Alabama Man




South Park introduces us to the next big toy all the kids will want.

Sunday, January 22, 2006

Video: Scarlett Johansson Gets Felt Up




Designer Isaac Mizrahi casually gropes Scarlett Johansson during an interview at the Golden Globes award show. I guess the fact that Mizrahi is so openly gay the ladies just kind of let him get away with it. Got me a feeling it would not work out quite the same way had I tried this.

Video: Stevie Ray Vaughn - Little Wing




Along the same lines of the previous posts about Jimi Hendrix comes this video of Stevie Ray Vaughn performing the Jimi Hendrix classic, "Little Wing". Another amazing guitarist that left us far before his time.

Game: Cubefield




Simple enough...avoid the cubes using the arrow keys. Wait...did I say simple?

Wednesday, January 11, 2006

Game: Castle Click




This point & click 'game' is similar to Samaroast and Grow Cube. Lots of interactivity. I'm not sure just how much there is to it...but there is ALOT it would seem. If you get stuck you can use the [TAB] key to cheat a bit and help find those tricky click points within the game.

Game: Yard Invaders




Yard Invaders is a Shockwave action arcade game similar to Space Invaders, and yet with some unique gameplay twists. Control is with the mouse. You can only carry up to five apples (ammo) at a time, so you must pick up the ones that fall back to the ground to keep loaded. It should be noted, however, that I don't know what the deal with the duck is.

Video: Pimp My Bride




This is a hilarious spoof on MTV's show Pimp My Ride from Jimmy Kimmel's show.

Flash: Yawaraka Tanks




This is very strange flash, with a strange soundtrack, and a seemingly non-sense story. Naturally, it's from Japan.

Sunday, January 08, 2006

Video: Jimi Hendrix - Wind Cries Mary




Jimi's performance of Wind Cries Mary at Stockholm, Sweden, 1967.

Game: Vec Neko




You need to get the kitty to the house. To do this you must use your mouse to 'draw' a line to the different platforms. The kitty will travel along these lines to get to the different goals (keys to open the house and such). The thing to remember is that a line does NOT to to be completed for the kitty to begin to traveling on it. But you must complete it before it reaches the end of it. Good luck, once you get the basic idea/hang of it, it's hard to stop playing.

Video: Cold Hands, Warm Heart




Cool animated music video for Brendan Bensons', 'Cold Hands, Warm Heart'. To be honest, this is a far cry from the type of music I normally listen to, but this video was excellent so I thought I'd share.
