Man, I had some links to mind boggling acoustic guitar players like that, but don't recall what I did with them. (Edit: I remember now. It was back when I thought that I was saving links as bookmarks but they weren't being saved. Thus, they are lost to the bits and bytes of time.)
Anyway: For those of you who were not dragged into the Dick in a Box meme, every single person with a functioning sense of humor should watch the following: http://youtube.com/watch?v=asWHBLt42bA _________________

It might have been posted previously (it's not quite new), or people might just be tired of Gmod shenanigans, but here is a huge walking robot/castle thing via Gary's mod/Half-life 2. Even seems to include a working gun!
It kills the framerate to the deathening point, of course, but it's still pretty amazing. Kind of makes you want a steampunk version of Shadow of the Colossus, huh? _________________

Holy shit, guys! I'm featured on the front page of Youtube. :o
So when do the girls in shiny outfits come into my room and award me a feather boa with the words "INTERNET FAMOUS" on it? ;_; _________________

| The Happiest Monster deserved featuring more -- everybody I've shown it to loves it -- but this being Youtube I suppose they like random nonsense above all. |

I think it has more to do with The Machinegun Opera getting more hits and overall being seen more than The Happiest Monster.
Hopefully people will filter over and see the monster one though.
Man, I'm getting barraged with video spam from the "video response" thing. I never knew there were video-trollers on Youtube! _________________

In 1977, Anglia Television ran a "spoof" documentary called Alternative 3. The premise was that the intellectual elite, mathematicians, scientists &c. had been vanishing for many years and a blind eye was being turned. The documentary sought to investigate the reason; the mysterious Alternative 3, a conspiracy which recruited (or kidnapped) the best and brightest of the world's intelligencia in order to propagate a new society off-world.
While it was marketed as a hoax (originally going to be run on April 1st), some have begun to see this as someone out there trying to get the truth out. Maybe they are.
Oddly nobody's been particularly interested in looking into the vast number of botanists and entomologists who've disappeared over the last decade or so.
I mean; if you were terraforming a planet into a breathable atmosphere, wouldn't you need plants and insects?
Considering the program has been banned from a re-release; makes you wonder...
You can see it here. Music by Brian Eno, for those who cares, and can be found on his Music for Films album.
Peter Watkin's The War Game, a 1965 docu-drama about England in the midst of a Soviet nuclear attack. It's essential viewing for pretty much anyone. Not only a good sign of British film-making at its best, but a powerful film, which still holds controversy even today, and anything that pisses off those apologist BBC arseholes is good in my book.
Also: Ah Pook is Here.

So even the authors are saying it's a hoax but you're still thinking it might be real? You are on the way to escaping Singularity enslavement and embracing four-cornered thinking!! |

The authors could have ben forced at gunpoint!
Either way, watch it. Then watch The War Game, because that one is practically essential viewing. Most intense 50 viewing minutes you're likely to have in a while. |

"If I decide to hit, and perhaps kill, another man, myself... Then I must be prepared to accept the moral responsibility.
If I give the government the right, or the means, on my behalf, to kill people of another country... Then the situation is no different."
The acted sobbing and screaming is keeping me from suspending disbelief, but it's very important nonetheless.
I also recommend watching this booster-rocket's-view of a space shuttle launch. From assisting the shuttle through takeoff, to splashing down into the ocean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2649_pM_fws _________________

Who remembers Godofgta3? Because I sure do.
But this one leaves a worse taste.

I didn't have a problem with the acting, to be honest, but I tend to be very forgiving about it when watching docu-fictions or cinéma vérité for some reason. I'd make more of a fuss about it if it was pure fiction.
It helps to keep in mind that this was made during the Cold War, and is based almost entirely on documented facts and reactions, social or otherwise (Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the two obvious sites Watkins studied the most).
I prefer it to Threads in any case, though that show was far from bad in itself. |

It was still extremely compelling. Definitely worth the 50 minutes of someone's time.
It's great to be able to look at that forty years later, knowing, thankfully, that it did not happen.
A bonus game is to think of its message while considering what happened post Katrina. A rare glimpse at how 1st world civilizations collapse.

(Some of them have "Watch/Download at Google Video" below the video, meaning that the whole video is available online.) _________________

Yeah, he seemed to be scraping the bottom of the barrel a bit. And maybe it's a smidge telling that the last pick is from whassisname, Bowling for Columbine dude.
I'm watching Loose Change, the one about the 9-11 attacks supposedly being provably staged. _________________

Excellent. Thanks. I am really not into jumping on conspiracy theories; I'm just really enjoying critical reviews of the scenarios.
It makes me smile to hear someone say (claim) that the only three concrete-and-steel buildings to ever totally collapse into themselves during a fire happen to be the three in the WTC attacks; that the plane debris photographed around the Pentagon (supposedly) does not match the components that would actually be used in the plane that crashed; that there were (evidently) no visible wing or tail debris around the Pentagon, and not even holes in the building that are the shape of wings and a tail; videos showing the lobby of the WTC looking like a bomb had gone off, despite jet fuel several tens of stories up being (theoretically) incapable of causing such a concussive blast on the floor level.
Stuff like that is awesome on a sort of Columbo level to me. Hearing how other people refute that shit is going to be excellent. _________________

don't know whether this one was already mentioned, if not, there you go:
College Saga:
Ep #1
Ep #2
Ep #3
Ep #4
every RPG-player should feel at home there ... I love the NPCs that run around for no apparent reason and that HUGE chair. A real classic... _________________
