Ha! That "There is only one level" game has just come up on OML...I thought it looked like the kind of game that would (but I can't remember whether I actually said so). Funny how these things do the rounds, isn't it?

Thanks for those links Zyx, both videos are impressive. I especially love the IK+ animations in the second one, they were absolutely perfect!

:shock: Because my sound-card collapsed (and I think that the whole computer is going to die in a few moments) I watched the beginning of it without sound and I really don't know what to say... maybe only WTF???

The first one was good, but the lego one is simply stunning!

It's only 62.5 days, or 8.92 weeks or 2.05 months... easy if you don't need to eat or sleep :-)

And the booby prize goes to:

To be honest, I never would have noticed if I saw that picture alone. Maybe I've already seen too many Photoshopped pictures so my brain is defunct.

What's funny about it, is that both images appear to have fake heads!

well, it appears that song is just the icing, but the cake itself is pretty good too ;) It's part of a series which is in it's 3rd season I think.. just sort of webisodes talking about the MMO community. So many things in it are funny simply because they are true enough to remind me of people who if they haven't done something like that, they would :P

it's called the guild and you can watch them as related videos to that link itself.

To be quite honest.. if it were not for MMO's like World of Warcraft, I may not have met my wife.... Not that we met on one.. but it's simply that my friend who had begged me to visit for 5 years straight spent ever day nearly all day playing world of warcraft when I traveled half way across canada to spend xmas with him... so, because I was stuck in an area with nothing to do but watch him play WOW or freeze my butt off in the 4 foot high snow outside.... I spent all day playing facebook games instead and met her there :P So yay for mmo :P

Wil Wheaon will appear in the third season too!

Speaking of Wil, third series, and geeky stuff, tomorrow sees the return of the penny arcade D&D podcasts with Gabe, Tycho, Scott Kurtz and Wil Wheaton. No Vin Diesel though :(
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

I absolutely love Jaws, it is one of my favourite movies. This re-cut trailer here promises a movie that might have been even better...

Great name for a dungeon, albeit a bit on the heavy side for background music...

Just got this link:
CHRONOTRON
Use the time machine wisely to solve the puzzles.

That is one thing I thought about to add to CSB... - imagine the first monster to be killed is.... YOU (in a later stage) :)

Since some of us are in a bit of DnD phase right now, me and my dad and my sister were earlier looking up a vid that we hadn't seen for a few years. I don't know if it's ever been linked on here but even if it already has, I might as well plonk it up for those who missed it the first time around...

http://www.viddler.com/explore/axemaster/videos/57/

Some American LARPer who takes his DnD a bit too seriously, I think.
It's only a couple of minutes long.

:D I'm enjoying both the video and the Polish subtitles. "Mam buty ucieczki!" I have to remember this. :D
