Humans and Video Games, Closer Than Ever

Poor placement of that light blue and yellow. Rookie mistakes. 

Pong. Just as boring when performed by people.

I wish they had done better explosions when the space invaders hit the original ship. 

The overall best reenactment of a videogame has to be this, of Pac Man. It's very... interactive. 

Rubiks Cube Garlic

A cool, semi-stop motion video of spaghetti!

Green Porno

Possibly not safe for work, but definitely for the environment!  

Isabella Rossellini, famous for her acting, modeling, and parents (Ingrid Bergman/Roberto Rossellini), created a series of vignettes on the reproductive process of various insects.  Intriguing, gruesome, and very educational - all of the videos are up on the Sundance Channel website.

Making a Statement

Scratch out Business Card

You know when someone hands you a scratch out business card, they have to be either doing so incredibly well they don't care if it looks unprofessional, or they're just incredibly awesome.

My boyfriend used to have waterproof business cards, the discovery of which, by new individuals, always resulted in water glass dunks at restuarant tables. 

Creative Bits had a really great post over a year ago featuring innovative business cards.  The post even spawned another feature in March of 2008.  This one included the business card for a divorce lawyer, complete with condom. 

A few highlights:

  

I Want to Simultaneously Rock Out and Chill Out

Apparently, this is the short version.  

I can't decide what my favorite part is, the little guy playing the head bongos, or the blue whale (especially the skull that comes out of his spout and turns into an octopus.)

The music/video is from Minilogue, a Swedish Progressive House/Tech-House/Minimal Techno group.  Their site has a few other videos up, and also some awesome artwork featuring clay animals similar to those in this video. 

Youtube has a higher quality version available as well. 

Mario Kart Love Song

It's basically a live version of the love note stuck inside your third grade desk (from the boy who would never admit to liking you).
