Was the dialogue supposed to be that... uncanny valley-ish? Because that acting felt like it came from a bad 90's video game.

I mean, it seems pretty plain to me it was deliberate. I can't imagine the author sitting there writing that dialogue and genuinely thinking it made any sense.

I could be wrong.

came from a bad 90's video game.

Actually, I seem to recall reading somewhere that he models his stuff a lot after b-movies and b-grade video games. So, yeah. (Consider Manborg.)

More serious, but this one I enjoyed quite a lot. (Er, also NSFW probably.)

This is why we can't have nice stuff.
I'm not usually a fan of this sort of game (fps's primarily aimed at multiplayer) but this one seems quirky enough to actually be fun.

Russia Today is a news channel I found on YouTube. It's like, actually informative. :shock:

Their reporters ask their guests questions, and actually let them answer them. And it's intelligent conversation, too! o_O

That is simply gorgeous. And a little terrifying. Like shadowrun drones...
After watching several of TheDmel's quadrotor videos, slack-jawed with awe, this one is a lovely bit of schadenfreude.

Screw Space Invaders, the video game that looks like to me is Homeworld. I literally laughed with relief once they the copters out out of Wall Formation and put them into an X, because fighters in wall formation is a terrible idea.

First; Turn the sound off or put on something you like.

Try running this on the largest screen you have and then go about what ever it is you were doing.
It is like a Vertical Coffee Table Book that changes its own pages. How Wonderful!

You people all ready knew that. Right?

That was so amazing! I can't get it to run anymore.

That is awesome. And the ever-falling tone linked in the description is also neat. I’ve attempted to do that before, but with discrete steps between tones.
