It cost them just under $210 despite being in HD with some special effects! There will be a ‘part 2′ and I’ll make sure to post it when it comes out.

The credits for this production can be found here.

To pass the time (55 days and counting!) in this dull hospital room he put together a mock rap video about his experience.

Funny stuff!

Christiaan also has a twitter page for those wanting to follow him on his ‘journey’.

Great guest appearance by Charlotte Lade; the female freestyle world record holder, at the end!

Just for the record: when I say “football” I mean “soccer”!

Aside from all the stars, it’s also quite cool how you can see the rotation of the Earth in this video! Enjoy:

The video was made by Charles Leung.

I really want to go to an observatory now!

I was hoping to add a pun based on this website (Le Melon) but can’t think of any good ones. Ideas?

I’ll add the best pun/puns from the comments in a few days.

Posting will resume as normal very soon but, to make up for it, here is a couple of great examples of stop-motion animation:

1. Tony vs. Paul

This is a classic video from three and a half years ago! It may be old (by YouTube standards) but it’s definitely one to watch. In fact, it has an IMDB page!

2. Human Tetris

If you haven’t played Tetris before, then you’ve had a sheltered childhood. This video, using quite a few different people, shows what Tetris would be like if you used people to play as the blocks! The sound effects might get a bit annoying after a while though :P

For those that don´t know, the objective is to get the helicopter as far as possible without crashing. Instructions are below.

Click and/or hold the left mouse button to make the helicopter rise and let go to make it fall. Avoid the obstacles!

While we wait for highlights, I thought you might want to see some of the highlights from last year’s Super Bowl (number 43) between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals. Enjoy!

 

I’m British and have never been a massive fan of American Football, but I must admit that I’m starting to enjoy (and understand) this sport more and more as time goes on. Bring on Super Bowl 45!

Surprisingly, it worked without any complications!

After that, several more inmates got this ‘tattoo’ done too! See the interviews with those that did it below:

Next time I want my eyes dyed red or black, I know where to go ;)

It provided millions of people with days of entertainment and I’m glad to say I’m one of them. The main problem is that it’s old! Luckily there’s a project to bring GoldenEye back, and it’s named GoldenEye: Source. It’s just like the classic game, but with updated graphics, a few extras and, best of all (in MY opinion), it’s for PC… and totally free!

The 3.1 beta is available as a free download (as a beta for now) as a Half Life 2 mod and it looks great so far. Check out the latest gameplay video below:

What do you think? Personally I can’t wait!

Hopefully the finished product will be released this year but I’m not too sure. If it’s released before 2012 I’ll be pretty happy :)
