Happy Monday – Slow Paintball

Malcolm Owen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:59:57 +0000

1. There are days where I want to play paintball. I know I cannot, due to being rotund and unable to run more than 5 yards without collapsing, but the idea of being Rambo-ish with a gun (albeit non-lethal) and showing I am good at first person shooters IRL is an entertaining thought to try in the future. But what if it were viewed through the eyes of the average Counter-Strike player?

Cue the video!

And when you watch it, realise that some of those shots are god damned epic and probably took way too many takes to actually complete.

Boygues Telecom + Kittens = Perfect Adverts

If you’re a company supplying multiple communication systems to an entire country, you had better market yourselves where your future users hang out. Where is that? YouTube. Doing what? Watching cat videos.

Cue Boygues Telecom using the powers of “Teh Kitteh” to sell people phone service and broadband. And by Jove, it works.

And if you’re a speaker of the language of love, it’s available in French too.

Happy Monday – NyanStep

1. How do you make an annoying internet theme awesome? By smushing it together with a relatively new genre of music and distort the crap out of it. Cue a decent Nyan Cat Dubstep…

1. Have you ever wondered what it would look like if you could “sing” dubstep? No, me neither, but this Dubstep Mime video sure is close to it…

We’ve talked about Epic Meal Time before, and they are awesome. Scary and awesome.
Anyway, they won a Shorty Award (no, me neither) and ended up being interviewed. And turning it Epic.
