Boob Toob Supplemental: 45mins until my long weekend starts

Easter is upon us which means most people here in Australia get a 4 day weekend. If you plan it in advance (as some peeps in my department did) you can have almost 2 weeks off just by taking a few days off work. There's only 3 work days next week because we have Monday off and then Friday (April 25) is Anzac Day. So some people here took 3 days off next week and I won't be seeing them for almost 2 weeks. I'm already taking 2 weeks off at the start of May so I'll be staying put next week. It's all good, at least I get 2 long weekends in a row.

But you didn't come here to hear about my life story, right? You came here for some videos. Let's do this!

Origin of memes

If you ever wanted to know where your favourite memes came from, how's about you leave Britney alone (that's a meme, right?) and check out the video below. I can never ever ever get enough of Star Trek memes.

Japanese intro to the X-Men 90s cartoon

Pretty freaking epic. Thanks to either Billy Z (from Comic Book Bears) or Gerry McDade (the G in GXPod) for alerting me to this. I don’t know which one of them posted it because it was done on Facebook and I don’t know how any of it works. (Get off my back!) But apparently Jon Westhoff (the guy that says “and we’re baaaack” on E2P) originally posted it.

More info on the opening can be found here. I wish they did a whole series in this animation style.

CRY FOR THE MOOOOOOOOON!

Gotta catch... all the Avengers??

More Japanese Marvel goodness! This is the opening to Disk Wars Avengers. It sounds a lot like a mash up Earth's Mightiest Heroes with Pokemon. Thanks to Kross on the 11 O'Clock Comics forum for pointing this out. POKEVENGERS!

360° video made from 6 GoPro cameras

By Vimeo user j0n4s. This is pretty neat, I'd love to try something similar. I've embedded the video below but you'll want to check it out on Vimeo to see the original and better quality version. Mone info on how it was done can be found here (you may want to translate it in English).

4D? I barely have a handle on 3D!

Pretty trippy looking game called Miegakure. I may have to check this out. More info at Kotaku. FYI the 4th dimension is not time.

Shatner kills Shakespeare

Say whaaaat?!? Why would anyone wanna kill Billy Shakespeare? Watch the video below to find out. They used Legos to make it too and you know how popular Legos are these days. 

Speaking of Legos...

Check out these adults who get to play with Legos. That's exactly what I'm gonna do once I retire. Play Legos all day.

Best. Thing. Ever.

Boob Toob Supplemental: The CHOMP Edition!

What's Chomp (I love that guy) doing in the Winter Olympics? What's Mega Man's creator up to? Why is water going uphill? The answers to those and life's other mysteries await you in this latest installment of BOOB TOOB SUPPLEMENTAL!

Mario Kart Winter Olympics

A bit late but here you go. Thanks to Bossman Bobgar for sending this to me. CHOMP!

Mighty No. 9

Here's a video from the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2014 that showcases the 9 robots featured in the game. I haven't been following this game much but I do like the visuals a lot. It seems to play like Mega Man which is neat but I hope there's more to it than just Mega Man style gameplay. Based on what I've seen, it seems a bit like Ben 10 but with robots. I hope it's a hit. Check out the Wikipedia entry for some info on the development history and the Kickstarter campaign that they did.

Water going uphill

WHAT MANNER OF SORCERY IS THIS?!?!?! Thanks to this article at io9 for pointing it out. Science is great.

Tom & Jerry as anime girls

Another video sent to me by the boss. Pretty cool remake of sorts. Check out this article at Cartoon Brew for more info on how it was done.

The Dam Keeper trailer

That Bobgar sure likes his animation. Check out this trailer for the Dam Keeper, a super pretty short film by Pixar artists Dice Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo. More info can be found at Cartoon Brew or just go to the official website which looks very fancy.

Suit up!

Nice compilation of heroes getting ready to kick butt. I saw Dredd Urban in there so Bobgar should like that. Get to da choppa!

Human Evolution

Here's a Deus Ex short film written and directed by Moe Charif. I haven't played the Deus Ex games so maybe it doesn't seem as awesome to me as it would to those who are familiar with those games but it looks good nonetheless. It seems to have higher production values than that Portal short film from a few years back.

Portal: No Escape

Aaaand here’s that Portal short film I was just talking about in case you haven't seen it. It's short and very simple but I like it more nonetheless. It was made back in 2011 and was directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the guy who will be directing the Y: The Last Man movie. Portal is a sweet game.
