YouTube Favorites: Do the Whirlwind

Right then! Here's the next one. It's a decent song by Architechture In Helsinki, a band I've never heard of before or since.

The reason it's in my favorites list is: the animation was done by Paul Robertson, which is a name you might recognize from the Scott Pilgrim video game, or such illustrious videos as "Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006" and "Kings of Power 4 Billion%".

And if you haven't seen those either, well, I've added them to the favorites list, so we'll come around to them in a few weeks.

WoW Update

Just wanted to let you know that my World of Warcraft character, a wolf-lady named Clawdia, is wearing a mask made out of a skinned wolf face, on top of her regular wolf face.

That is all.

Youtube Favorites: MSPA Clip Show Tribute, Part 1

This video will split viewers into two categories. 

If you have read MS Paint Adventures: Problem Sleuth in the past, you are probably now feeling gleefuly nostalgic, and you can click here to watch the rest of it in a youtube playlist. (Edit: for some reason, I can't get that link to work properly. If it isn't taking you to youtube, try right-clicking it and loading it in a new tab.)

The rest of you have no idea what the hell you just watched, in which case I recommend you click here and start reading Problem Sleuth. It will take some time, but it's well worth it, particularly if you have a fondness for old-school adventure games and (later on in the story) Japanese RPG games.

YouTube Favorites: Bert & Ernie Gangsta Rap

I've always been impressed by the mouth-syncing in this one. Not that it's crazy hard with Bert & Ernie -- their mouths just flap open and shut, so there's no, like, phoneme-matching -- but there is the issue of timing, and it's done well here. Dude musta watched a /lot/ of Bert & Ernie.

 

It always sounds to me like he's shouting "Apple juice!" at the beginning.

YouTube Favorites: The Cat With Hands

This is very Neil Gaiman / Dave McKean-ish, but I don't think it's actually related to either of them.

You can basically ignore the idiotic "may find offensive" banner at the beginning. There's nothing sexy or NSFW here. If you find yourself offended by any of this, just... just go away, okay?

It is creepy though, so I won't fault you for skipping it if you're not into that.
