Peasant's Quest

Peasant's Quest movie trailer

Play the game, then watch the trailer. Not the other way around. Hilarity ensues.

Oh wow. I was convinced that just had to be a fake, but it's way too detailed for that.

It's people like that who make me feel very, very sane.

Re-envisioned movie trailers. Using only scenes from the movies, with a little re-editing, and sometimes other voice-overs.

The Shining

West Side Story

Titanic

The Shining is the best one, but the others aren't bad. All about 7 MB downloads, sorry dial-uppers!

Game on,

http://www.compfused.com/directlink/940/ (Edit: coarse language, sorry, I missed it the first time around.)

An Australian news satire program, CNNNN, polls Americans about where to invade.

And then pulls a dirty trick on them. Watch the ticker down the bottom while you're at it.

That has to be the most scary thing I have ever seen - my eyes have gone rather unfocused now.

Interestingly, it will translate all linked pages you click on, and automatically logs you out of the forum (I guess because you're now using a different (maybe IP) address to access the forum). It's therefore probably not wise to try to login again while using this translator - it could possibly record your username/password somewhere (or I could just be being very cynical).

If you look closely at the location bar, you'll see "skill=5" in the adress. Go ahead and try something lower.
I know, I know, it's still disgusting.

When I clicked on that link, the first thing I thought was "Hey, that's not so bad. I've seen far more complicated l33t before."

Then I went back to the last page of this thread and read the last two posts in their translated versions.

After that, I went over to the Electronic Games forum, where I found a new thread - "Dumb the Game". I then took a look at the webpage and read the entire thread - all while still using the translator.

Clearly, I need professional help.

Clearly, large realworld companies have worked out how to play on the Internet.

I mean, it's viral marketing, but it's still frickin' funny even if I never buy a Reebok shoe.

Non-deterministic numbers are easy to generate. There's heaps of sites that do it! But only this one generates deterministic numbers!

My new and improved Rooster Teeth Resource network! Launched last night at around 7PM EST (or I guess it would be EDT now...), and it's doing just fine. If you're a fan of the work of Rooster Teeth Productions I highly recommend my site as a companion.

I hate those. Every time someone gives me one of these to click on, it just so happens I have a litle kid sitting on my lap at the computer. I'm going to stop clicking on the vague "try this now!" links.
