Your description is very well put, especially when the “welcome our new overlords” joke is still shambling about the internet.

Mike Parsons is still alive.
Yeah, that is Parsons during a “tow-in” surfing contest at a break called Jaws in Maui. It is not a tsunami as this youtube entry claims… merely an every day 60+ footer.
Also, there is a moment during which the cameraman up in the heli pulls the shot back and the viewer gets the illusion that the entire ocean is lurching up with the surfer up top and that even the helicopter must be about to be engulfed by the wave… it’s an optical illusion. Not to take away from what Parsons is actually doing. I mean, 60 footers breaking top to bottom… forget about it.
I applaud you sir. You go where I cannot.
anyway, here’s one over at RPS
Lotus Simulations L-39 Albatros for FSX
8-bit trip - a stop-motion LEGO tribute to the aforementioned gaming generation that took 1500+ hours to make.
Absolutely extraordinary.

That’s officially scary. And I’m not saying that to be cute, I mean it’s scary, like somebody finding a tribe of chimps with bows and arrows.

Opening scene from “Riding Giants.” Big-wave surfing docs are my guilty pleasure, and that one is fantastic. Check out “Billabong Oddysey” which is on Netflix Watch Instantly.

This was awesome. I loved that the b/w video clips were all made of Lego bricks as well. And the Pong portion was probably the highlight for me with the rotation.

Yeah, all the way back from page three or so of this thread.
Anyway, I cam to post that 8-bit Trip, but since that was taken (damn you alexlitel) all I have to offer is meanspirited snark.
You could’ve at least reposted something so we’d have something to enjoy out of it.
how? This thread was started in 2006, and that clip was from March 2009.
Okay. The original video is apparently from April which would put the posting of it on page 100*… ish (I did say “or so”).
*no, it’s not there. No I didn’t search, Yes, april is ages ago in internet time. Yes, I’m sure somebody posted it. Yes, I’m sorry for yet another post without an actual YouTube link.
I’ll contribute this one in your honor, Hanzii.

A blast from the past! The Alien Song by Victor Navone from 1999 (no relation to Space 1999).

Somebody made a third person camera mod? Or is there more there that I’m not seeing.
There’s bullet time! Essentially, that’s pretty much it, although there are some nice touches ripped off from gears of war like the shaky cam when running etc.
If you want to see an example of truly awesome user content for Crysis: Niveus map
freaking amazing
I tried the map, and the windmills are actually running in-game, heh. I just wish the mapper had some sort of fly through script with the map. I’d totally make Crysis my screensaver then :)
