With a style reminiscent to that video about the dude who could catch sunglasses with his face, here’s another video that will problably bring about a bunch of “ooohs” and “ahhs” from the crowd. This time around, it looks like two Russian friends teamed up with their favored national alcoholic beverage to bring about previously unexploited levels of vodka-flavored coolness. Well, naturally there’s a good chance this video is a result of some rather clever and ingenious video editing + visual effects, but I guess there’s no point dwielling in such thoughts… after all life can be so much more interesting when one is able to suspend his disbelief every once in a while, right?

In fact, life can be remarkably enticing when you suceed in suspending your vodka along with your disbelief in mid-air, as to effectively gulp in down in a swift motion… like this:

Well, some of the regular customers might have noticed the recent lack of updates, but I want to reassure all of you believers that I’ve been around lurking most of the time, and weeding out the site’s archive. Now that I’ve reached my first 1000 posts, I want to take some time to breathe and take notice of the good and bad things I’ve done in this past 18 months of operation, as well as the editorial choices for the future.

resistance is futile??

That argument shall be resumed in a further posting. Now for today’s daily reminder why we like it here. Today, I’m talking about yet another one those neighborhood friendly Internet memes, of course! Such things you might have heard of but sometimes you really can’t put your finger to it? Maybe you’ve heard about the Rickroll or the OM NOM NOM and will it blend? – tell you what, I’ll just pop an illustrative example from the awesome XKCD online cartoon:

all about memes?

Now, I don’t mean to suggest that you should waste your romantic life on the pursuit of Internet memes (much the other way around), but still I enjoy keeping up with some of the latest Internet crazes – if nothing else, just for curiosity’s sake. So today we’re discussing the “All your base are belong to us“. If you want detailed information on this meme’s background, check the Wiki article I just linked; but simply put everything started with this cinematic passage from a popular Genesis game in the 1990’s:

To cut a long story short, it was around 2002 when someone decided to bring up this picturesque typo from a video game back-in-the-day, and soon enough the whole of the Internet was singing in harmony to the prophetic engrish saying… and now “all your base are belong to us”! Just like that.

Know your memes: All your base are belong to us.

Techno Remix all your base (and pictures) are belong… to us.

Well, I’m not entirely sure where this video is coming from – nor after whom. Regardless, I do have my suspicions – and in all circumstance, it’s still a funny classic piece of Youtube footage that no netizen should be kept from seeing. So in the spirit of parody and senseless rambling, here goes yet another viewtiful presentation, courtesy of one Ms. Chris Crocker… whoever that might be. Enjoy!

In yet another display of brilliancy and technical expertize, director Spike Jonze toasts us with yet another of his cool, cool videos. This time around he focused on the world of Skateboard, while making a rather interesting and unique twist: something as unpredictable yet plain as no-skate skateboarding! As you’re about to find out, this is quite a remarkable video, and makes me really wonder how did he do it… I mean, I know this was composed with a blue / green screen technique, but all the while I can’t really figure out how it was put together… very nice!

I’m not really sure what is going on here, but it certainly seems good old McCain has just received a RickRoll of the Obama variety:

How about that? I guess that goes to show him not to deliver speeches in front of a blue screen. I mean, in a modern time such as our own, we should demand more technical knowledge from an aspiring president, don’t you think so? Well, for more info concerning this ingenious prank, check out the source here.
