Does anyone else find it funny that Steve Jobs won't allow for any progression for the iPhone to support flash when the apple website uses it in ever aspect they can? Oh and that its supposedly a "dying" format of code and everyone will be using HTML5? Someone ask him to look at his company's website before he makes such silly statements. While the man is smart and knows how to get the public's true attention of things worth their time, he seems not to see things as they are now. I understand he's trying to push the boundaries, but till everyone jumps on the apple train and uses HTML5, could to try to support flash, please?
Btw, the video has nothing to do with this blurb. Just a song and video I find appealing right now. That's all.
I found this video on Topless Robot and felt the need to share. Its a video by Remi Gaillard who apparently - as I'm oblivious 95.5% of the time - has done a few Fan Geek videos. Each managing to be a bit of a nuisance while still being hilarious and disturbing the French Public. I feel his pain though when he gets wailed on by the golfer. OUCH!
Fresh off the presses! Video of game play from BioShock 2 : Sea of Dreams. I'm eagerly awaiting for this game and will be giving up L4D to play though this as many times as I can get in.
In BioShock 2, you play as a Big Daddy chasing or being chased by a Big Sister. Like before your collecting Little sisters, but this time they harvest adam along side you - or you can harvest them like in the first game. Once again you can also "upgrade" your self to fling fire, lightening bolts or lift objects. The new improvment though is you can use your plasmids and a wepon at the same time! Something to make quick work of the splicers you face. And as shown in the video, its something your going to need.
It looks as amazing as the first game and the game play video shows it will be a smooth effortless game that will be sure to have people camping their TV's for weekends to come after its release. I hope to see them do a Special Edition with the new Big Sister as the figure as the figure to get.
This is an entire post dedicated to the Humor spawned by Left 4 Dead. A good portion is just randomness, but more of it verges on perverted. All it takes is looking at it the right way.
* edit - While working on this article for your viewing pleasure did I only find out how much of my first statement is wrong. ITS PORN OUT THERE!!! I knew about a humorous obsession with Bill and Louis - but I completely missed this Zoey and Witch fandom! Might I note, we as gamers never seem to have enough time to finish all the games we want to - yet we find the time to make perverted pairings along with art, audio and video for them? WHAT THE FUCK GUYS?!- Now back to your normal broadcast.. *
Now for those of you who have been living under a rock the last six months or so - Left 4 Dead is a FPS from Valve with a "learning" A.I. I've found that it sometimes adjusts what I would call the intelligence of the NPC's should you have them among your group. Sometimes they are 'aware' of whats going on around them, other times they are as blind as Helen Keller in traffic.
For example - there is a Special Zombie known as a Witch. When startled she attacks, two smacks lays out a character. Leaving them sprawled with just their pistils to defend against her attacks or regular horde attacks. A few times we've notice the NPC's will walk RIGHT over her, even if its actually away from the path to follow. Other times they will verbally warn about her and even avoid her.
Back to the humor that has spawned from this game. Staring with something on the perverted side, is a video called Left 4 Bed. Its all audio clips from the video game, from between the two characters Bill and Louis - something that apparently is a fascination for many. People have went as far as to take the original audio and make a Gary's Mod made video to pair it with. Check out more after the jump!
For those of you who feel the need to look up the Gary's mod one, just look for " Left for Bed". It should be a couple down. There is also a Zoey and Frances one but I'm not really impressed with it.
Another amusing video done is a flash video. Using sound clips from the game " Left 4 Speed" was created by OneyNG. Its the best summery of how things tend to go down when no one has a clue of whats going on in Left 4 dead. Which even among a group of experienced players can happen.
Another fun one using sound clips - they all seem to but hey whatever - is Francis hates left for dead. Its a song made up of the character Francis sound clips from game play. Each area they all have random comments about the area they are in. And someone took a great amount of time to make this video and I thank them. Its spawned so many more jokes. Like the image above.
More of the humor aspects come from game play, glitches and people finding out those fun game code errors no one seen coming. My favorite thus far is a glitch with a statue in Dead Air. I've yet to try/find this one out for my self. But the video alone as a hilarious note for anyone who's played.
Like with all though the humor does venture in to the art world. Drawings and such of events, characters and thoughts have been spawned by the leagues of gamers who are now dedicated fans of the game. As interwebs nerds - they have even invaded LOLCats. Below are some fine examples of what I am willing to show. Some go.. well to a few places I wouldn't. Google is your friend if you want it. I tried to find images of something other then the witch, but I'd rather you just find out for your self what I seen.
As I find things that make me laugh about the game. I'll share. For now folks thats all I got I think.
Help you kill braincells and time that is! I've got a few random videos to wrap up the week. Maybe some serious attempts at posting I'm not sure yet.
First off.. Techno CHicken -
And my other very special video for those of you that are children of the 70's and 80's. A character we should have seen more of on that show we were raised on...
While I find this video funny and somewhat true - for me its not. For a demographic of women who are nearly brain dead or over 45, it is true. I have to give the guy credit for making up lyrics that didn't repeat. Mainly because a friend of mine in collage one night when my best friend (who is a guy) was playing tetris that went along the lines of " We are little Russian men who love to play with blocks.." and it repeated a whole lot.
We often found our selves humming the tetris music with the lyrics he made up in our head while out on the town. Go nerds. Video after the jump...
