Double Rainbow Guy in Windows Live Commercial
09.02.10 | Permalink | Comment?

Well that didn’t take long. The star of the Double Rainbow viral video has already sold out and been recruited by Microsoft to hawk Windows Live Photo Gallery. Strangely, his incredulousness just doesn’t feel as genuine here.

08.30.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

Weird. Valve recently announced that Stephen Merchant (yes, writing partner of Ricky Gervais and co-creator of The Office) will be voicing a character in Portal 2, and they’ve released a new gameplay video to prove it. He plays Wheatley, a floating eyeball droid type thing that acts as your companion through part of the game. [...]

Of all the bands in the world, I don’t think I ever would have predicted that Of Montreal would be the ones to put out a new video featuring a bloody beachfront brawl between barbarian invaders and cannibalistic natives. But somehow it works. Can’t wait for the black metal remix! Their new album False Priest [...]

TV Hat
08.15.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

This may be old news, but I just recently discovered the existence of the TV Hat and it looks pretty amazing. The informercial plays out like a Saturday Night Live skit, but believe it or not, this thing is real. It’s basically just a pouch with a magnifying glass to hold your iPod Touch or [...]
