Just a Hot Chick Skankin'

Just wanted to share one of my favorite Youtube vids - a hot girl skankin' to Mustard Plug's Brain On Ska:

Assassin's Creed: Beautiful Lies

YouTube submitter Hamps19 made the following short flick, Assassin's Creed: Beautiful Lies. If you haven't played Assassin's Creed, this may make you want to run out and buy every game in the franchise.

And yes, this is all fan made. Here's his "how-to" instructional:

Vegas Video for editing and Fraps for recording. I used a program called CheatEngine to run the game in suuuper slow-motion to record shots at a high FPS so I could have smooth looking shots. That was actually the most fun part about making this since I love AC's animations so much and being able to see every little meticulous detail in all of them was great. This of course took a while, playing in slow-motion doesn't help speed things up haha

For movement scenes and camera alignment it was trial and error mostly. To make it easier on myself I'd use the center camera button and move only in the angles allowed on the keyboard controls since those are fixed unlike the analog sticks on a controller. The times when I couldn't do that I took a screenshot of the location with one Assassin and then ran back to it with the other and basically eyeballed it until I got it right. I remember using a twig on a wall haha, counting the amount of bricks it was down and trying to position the camera just right.

For combat scenes, the counter kills have only about 5 or 6 different angles that it can be shown in so if I play long enough and kill enough I eventually get the same angles.

 Pretty incredible and I applaud this guy's dedication and skill.  Check it out below.

This.
Looks.
Awesome.

Portal Speed Run in 10 Minutes

If you've never played Portal, then you're an idiot. No, seriously. It's a scientifically proven fact that some very smart dudes in Sweden discovered a year or so ago. They published a paper called, "If You Have Never Played The Game Portal Then You Are An Idiot." It was very well received by the worldwide scientific community and is up for a Nobel Peace Prize next year.

Anyway, if you are one of these scientifically proven idiots, then consider the following video to be a major spoiler as it's the entire game played through in a speed run in about ten minutes.

And before you shout, "that's impossible" - you're right. It is impossible without taking advantage of known game glitches. This shouldn't take away from the amazing amount of skill and preparation (two years!) that went into this run. Take a looksee.

Lego Antikythera Mechanism

At the turn of the last century, a strange mechanism was found in a sunken shipwreck off the coast of a Greek island called Antikythera. The wreck itself has been dated back to sometime during the first century BC. For years the mechanism's use and construction was absolutely unknown leading people to speculate everything from alien technology to novelty automata. It's said to have the complexity and intricacies of a Swiss clock, especially in its precision in accurately calculating astronomical movements, for which it was designed and, as such, has been called the world's oldest analog computer.

And it has been reconstructed using Lego bricks.

Rock Em Sock Em Robots the Movie

A few years back there was talk of various boardgames being made into film: Monopoly, Battleship, Candyland, Ouija, and Rock Em Sock Em Robots. No, seriously. Some Hollywood shit-for-brains actually thought a movie should be made about Candyland.

Sure, there was 1985's Clue but that game is already laid out with a plot like structure and lent itself to a movie adaption pretty damn well. But now they're talking about a remake or at least another version of Clue as a movie. Does it seem to anyone else that people are running out of ideas to make original movies?

So, I don't really know if the upcoming movie Real Steel is really what happened with the original idea for a Rock Em Sock Em Robots movie, but it sure looks like it. And it looks effing dumb.



Where's my Hungry Hungry Hippos movie, Hollywood bitches?

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Not due out until November 1, 2011 (11-1-11) Drake's next adventure will take him in search of the legendary "Atlantis of the Sands." Sometimes called Iram and sometimes called Ubar, Drake's inevitable race against time and gun wielding antagonists sounds like the developers may have recently just read the novel Sandstorm by one of my favorite writers, James Rollins. I remember reading it and thinking the story would make for a great movie or video game. Enjoy the official trailer and screenshots below.
