Star Wars: Revelations
I actually saw this quite a while ago, so I'm not sure if I was posting links then, and I'm too lazy to look through the backlog, so here it is anyway. It's a reasonably well done fan film set between the 3rd & 4th movies.

1984
So, I just finished reading 1984. I know I'm the last person (let alone nerd) on the planet to read this book, but holy GOD was it good. I was absolutely blown away by how good and relevant it was. I'm sort of glad I didn't read it in high school, because I would have absolutely not understood half of it's importance. And then I would have "already read" that for the rest of my life and never given it another go in the present context. It was really amazing, there's the really obvious stuff about governmental control & monitoring and how to break a person down (this is where "there are four lights!" comes from?? or is it even older?). And then the more subtle stuff - how to create an enemy to distract your people (sound familiar? Emmanuel Goldstein seems such an misnomer for the hacker now), how to shape the truth by presenting and insisting your own (sound familiar??), the whole idea of doublethink and the managing of language, it was just awesome. Anyone who hasn't read it in 5 or 10 years or ever, absolutely should (not that this is news to you or anyone). I can't wait to move on to A Brave New World and We!
New Creative Products
AWWW! Come on!! I just bought a 30 GB ZVM! and now they have 60? with USB hosting?? Plus, I totally want that beautiful PMP. This isn't interesting at all, but I had to complain :)
The Homosexual Agenda
Hahahaha. I need to start up this CoV trial and make They Hate Us For Our Freedom :)
Fracture Game
It's sorta like Geometry Wars, except, y'know, crappy. But it gets fun when things get more hectic!
Re: Simpsons vs. Star Trek
Poorly performed. Poorly mixed. Poorly edited. But points for being the first response to youtube via youtube I've seen :)
BT vs ISPs
So, I think I've started posting only mindless games and videos, which are quite fun, but it'd be nice to have something up here once in a while that I find *interesting* So first up is this blog post on Wired, bad stuff! And my intelligent and reasoned commentary? Umm.... "Boo! Boo! Rubish! Filth! Slime! Muck! Boo! Boo! BOO!!"

Gender-bending French animation. At first interesting, then silly, then boring. But it gets a link for it's j+N method of counting days :)
Serenity wins a Hugo
Remember that time you punched me in the face and then gave me an award for best person to not punch in the face? 'memmmber? Yeah, it's kinda like that.
Warcraft III Touchscreen
GIMME!! GIMME NOW!!! Also: make it 5 times faster, add a lasso finger select, add unit ability dependant (flying, ranged, mounted, etc) selection (this is really more the game company's problem, not the interfacer, but I still want it), there is presumably a way to zoom (two-finger touchpad style?) and rotate (?), and maybe some other stuff that I haven't thought of yet :)
Sith'd
This was funnier before the punchline. But it won 2006 SW Comedy Fan Film Award, so I guess I link it anyway!
Tap Guitar
This guy sounds very similar to Kaki King, is it random that they have the same last name??
Slo-Mo Home Depot
Well, I wanted to be annoyed with these guys, I realize the tag line "we cause scenes" is supposed to have a double meaning, but to me it just reads "we are assholes" But, this is actually interesting! Their embedded links are wonky at the moment, so just in case, here's a direct. I'll have to look at their site more later and find out if this is the exception or the rule.
Monty Python Halo
Y'know... the internet is like Taco Bell. We only really have about 10 things we like, every month or so we mix those 10 things up, pick a couple at random, combine them in some way, and put it out as a new thing. So what I'm saying is the Lego Star Trek Python Numa Numa Kid is really just a Gordita.
That being said, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It even has someone named BJ Smegma ;)

10 things I hate about the 10 commandments
Haha, this is pretty funny, mostly because of the sam jackson cameo!
People Falling Over
Okay, I know, it's a little base, but the cat and the kid in the sand make it worth it!
Uber Mongo Super Mega Ultra Waka Swiss Army Knife
Hmm... think I can bring this on the plane to seattle?

Nightmare at 20,000
Wow, this is interesting, it compares the TV and movie versions of the Twightlight Zone story "Nightmare at 20,000 feet" Who knew Shatner could be so subtle? It seems so reasonable compared to Lithgow's freaking out, the original is so much better!
Might Moshin' Emo Rangers
Wow, I dunno what to say. It's sorta funny to start with, all parody and stuff, but eventually it just goes all Mother Night! You are who you're pretending to be!

Counter Struck
This is actually pretty funny. The hostages running against the wall is awesome :) 's only funny if you've played these types of games before though.

Animals Sleeping
Ohemgee! Cutest Things Ever!! Be warned, it's a cute vortex, from which you may never escape! AWWWWWWWW.
Picard's Song
Haha, I was so ready to scowl at this, but I ended up laughing my ass off!

The Good Wife's Guide
Listen up, my female friends, you have forgotten your roots!
;) I've actually seen this before, I dunno where, must be famous for it's ridiculousness.

GTA Firetruck

Angry German Kid vs. Numa Numa Guy
This is not funny. I did not laugh really loudly when I watched this. It is NOT funny.

Ice Sculpture
Aw maaaan. Even though you know this is gonna go bad, you hope all the way up till the end that it won't.
Pop vs. Coke vs. Soda
You wouldn't think this would be interesting, but I've always said soda and I think pop sounds retarded, but apparently the entire northern half of the country disagrees with me :)
Human Pong
Right. See, Space Invaders was cool and a new idea. Pong is boring, and it's the same human-in-chairs-stop-motion idea. Nonetheless, linky.
