Modern Warfare 2 and Metal Gear Solid EP 1

Swift — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:21:27 +0000

What do you get when you mash up two of the biggest games in the gaming industry? One hella of a video filled with coolness and fun laughter. This crossover parody finds Ghost from Modern Warfare 2 team up with Snake from Metal Gear Solid to fight the evil bad guys (Activistsun). Sounds familiar? Yeah it pretty much sounds like the real life scenario of the Activision and Infinity Ward dispute. Anyways, the video basically introduces some of the plot and that is there is this Modern Gear (one hell of a weapon) to be stopped.

The video itself has lots of funny moments especially the parody of Snake himself for example the card-box movement and the staring at the boobies etc. If you’ve played your games well you should understand the inside jokes a little more. The second part will be out soon within this week I think. Anyways, enjoy this cleverly done video.

Razer: The Hax Life

Swift — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:45:48 +0000

Ever thought of becoming a professional gamer? Ever thought of participating in the World Cyber Games and win that championship cash prize? Well, if you do, you have to know some of the cyber gaming terms and this video serves exactly that purpose. For example in games you have to have a high APM (Action Per Minute) to ensure that you can get things done right quickly and thus giving you an edge over your opponent. You have to be able to think fast, react to the different circumstances. You have to put in hours of practice, watch others performance and learn and so on.This video showcases some madass cyber gamers from korea and explains a little of the life of a professional gamer. Their life is rather cool, playing games for a living. How much more awesome can life be? I mean unless you hate video games then of course you think playing games hours after hours as a substitute for other work sucks. In conjunction with the World Cyber Games 2010 and EVO 2010 (largest and longest-running fighting game tournaments in the world) I present you this video that showcases some professional gamers from Korea.

Just for your info, World Cyber Games 2010 will be held Los Angeles USA Sep 30th to Oct 3th and EVO 2010 concluded in 11th July.

An additional video of the passionate viewers EVO 2010:

Chat Roulette Piano Improvisation

Swift — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 06:21:07 +0000

Chatroulette, a website which pairs random strangers for webcam-based conversations. Visitors to the website randomly begin an online stranger chat (video and text) with another visitor. At any point, either user may leave the current chat by initiating another random connection. Expect not to see hot chicks or females having fun but instead be prepared for males having happy time and fun showing off their god given organ. Yup, chatroulette has been around for quite some time already and they are numerous videos pictures articles that write about it.We got a small boy asking females he meet on the website to show off their assets, people using fake webcam to show some kind of monster or fat dude sitting and stuff like that. This time I’ve stumbled across (can’t believe that I come to notice of this guy only recently when the video was popular months ago) a guy not doing bad stuff, instead entertaining people he meet with a witty piano performance. He simply goes asking the stranger to same something and he’ll improvise and come out with a song. You can see his other videos (he has done 3 altogether) and enjoy his boundless talent and humor.

Meet Merton, the guy behind the ingenious video:

p.s yeah he does it on both omegle and chatroulette

Staircase Slide

Swift — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 13:57:42 +0000

Whose genius idea was it to place a slide next to a long staircase and an escalator? Well apparently it is indeed an ingenious idea! Not only is it fun and exciting, it is faster. Not sure what I am talking about? Read on for the video on how some people came together and built a slide beside a long staircase that leads to an underpass. Watch how much enjoyment and fun the people had while sliding down. Anyone with me for such slides to be built in Singapore train stations?

I must say that the Slide being called the fast lane might be accurate at first, but when word gets spread out as to how wonderful the experience of sliding down is, everyone will be queuing up to slide down. Haha it becomes kind of ironical if that happens!

Fifa World Cup 2010 Fever

Swift — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 13:33:11 +0000

If you hadn’t already know, Fifa World Cup 2010 South Africa’s opening match between South Africa and Mexico ended in a 1-1 draw. Yes, the World Cup fever has started again. People taking medical leaves, not wanting to go to school or work, making excuses to go work later, staying up late at night to watch their teams play and of course going out to one of the public places to soak in the football atmosphere. To shout “goal!” is a common language throughout the world and the World Cup itself is one if not the largest sporting competition that plays great importance in the world of sports. The passion and pride of the individuals can be seen on and off the field. If you hadn’t already feel the heat of the competition, I hope some of the videos that you are about to see will raise the temperature a bit.Most of these compilations were done before the World Cup started. It doesn’t matter though cause it simply showcase the majesty and the epic moments of different matches in different times around the world. Below are is another video compilation neatly done by another person.

Lastly, the awesome World Cup theme songs (Both official and the other one which was used by Coca-Cola as a promo song)

Madass Drummer at Wrong Gig

Swift — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:24:42 +0000

What do you get when you have a crazily skilled madass drummer in a gig that ain’t that mad and crazy? You get to see what you see in the video. The drummer is simply outstanding and doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the other band members. His skills captured in video after the jump.

Just look at that. He totally stole the show didn’t he?

Surprising Truth of Motivation Factors

Swift — Sat, 29 May 2010 16:25:54 +0000

Research has shown otherwise. Monetary benefits can only go so far and only works for jobs that are simple and direct. With more thinking and creativity involved, there are other factors that motivates one.

Read on to view an animated video adapted from Daniel Pink’s talk at the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA)

Very interesting 3 factors there eh? It certainly changed my opinion that money drives people. Damn, what are they teaching in my Business and Management class.

Lights Boxes and Action

Titled: ENVISION : Step into the sensory box. An amazing piece of video art that plays with lighting features and the shapes of the boxes. Amazing music and light synchronization makes this video an inspiration. Read on for the video.

LittleBigPlanet 2 Trailer

Swift — Tue, 11 May 2010 15:53:21 +0000

LittleBigPlanet 2 is coming! I was totally hyped up back then when the first LBP was announced. I mean yeah now that I’ve gotten the game and actually played it, it was all good and fun but not really extraordinarily great. I think the problem lies within the lack of friends/family members who would play with me. I mean LBP is totally a multi-player party styled kind of game. Playing alone can be fun but it is nothing compared to playing with another 3 other people. Anyways, LBP 2 is coming out soon exclusively for the PlayStation 3 this year and it promises to do so much more.

Read on to watch the trailer and an interview as well.

A Platform Game. A Platform for Games.

A powerful new set of tools awaits you, tools that vastly widen the scope of possibility, and that hand you the power to create WHOLE GAMES.

Through a familiar but revamped Popit, you can bring your characters to life, compose your own music, direct cinematic masterpieces, wire controllers directly in to your contraptions, connect easy to use switches, microchips and circuit boards to build epic bosses, vehicles, machines, and puzzles.

Make your wildest dreams come true, yes, even that one.

I love one of the phrases they state, “A Platform for Games”. Now that is revolutionary when done right.

iPrototype Parody of Recent iPhone 4G Incident

Swift — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 16:40:00 +0000

iPrototype, the product that will revolutionize the world. Haha I laughed my way through the whole video. This parody apparently is done by some seasoned fellows that do short comedy films. This time they took the recent incident whereby the newest 4th generation iPhone was left in a bar and made a humorous parody out of it 9with the product of the iPad in play as well!). Read on to view the video!

For those that are completely lost about what exactly the video is about, you have to know about the recent news of the iPhone 4G being taken and sold etc. Here is an article links that will explain everything and let you get to know of whatever that had happened:

Gizmodo – The Tale of Apple’s Next iPhone

We’ve taken a close look at Apple’s next iPhone and it’s been quite a ride. Here’s what happened:

Apple lost the next iPhone which they had cleverly disguised to look like an iPhone 3GS. We got our hands on it and shared all the details with you, including a dissection. In the meantime, our servers melted and our tech team worked overtime.

We discussed how Apple missed chances to get the next iPhone back and cleared up some conspiracy theories by explaining why Apple didn’t leak the iPhone to us. (Heck, it’s not even about the iPhone!)

In the end, Apple asked to get their phone back and we returned it.

This is iPrototype:
