Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2006 9:03 am Post subject: Hilarious crap found on Google Video |
|
|
I found this while doing research on NEC's Turbo Duo, how the hell this came up, I don't know!
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5161919037905884191
But I watched it and nearly fell over it was so cringeworthy. Made me laugh though!
And I thought I should share. Anyone else seen any stupid funny videos on Google video?
As you can see, I've been wasting my time idly, now that I have broadband.
Don't tell Sergei this, since I'm only half way through his rather impressive Sci-Fi novel, and should really be making time for worthy things, like reading it to the end.
Oh yeah, I assume the above is a joke? I mean, they are blatantly taking the piss, right? |

I saw a video of this guy beating Mario 64 in 16 minutes one time. That was cool, not exactly funny but it was pretty cool.
Also, a movie that I made for an art contest is on Google Video. I don't have the exact link but it's called "Student Film: The Movie". It's really bizzare, and the far superior "director's cut" will be on my film studio's MySpace page if we ever get around to making it. |

You win best post in this thread. Nice link.
$99 and a free bonk? Where was this system when I was in high school?
Plus, you gotta love that action add, where they say how you fight Columbian drug lords and the Vietcong in a river boat. What in the hell would Columbians and the Vietcong be doing together?!

That's the first time I've seen Bonk's Revenge in like 3 years. It's really strange to see it in that context. _________________ | Little bird fighting against a bat sect game | |

I found this very clever. Especially the second time through, when I concentrated on understanding what Jermaine was saying. I've ordered the movie--I had to see what could inspire something like this. There are many, many copies on Amazon marketplace for one cent plus shipping.
I don't really have anything new to report from Google video. My favorites are The Light of Courage and Look Around You, which I imagine everyone has seen already. |

I'd forgotten about that "look around you", I believe I saw an episode some years ago on TV, I think it was the Sulphur one, but yes, damned funny.
Anyway Wourme, I'm expecting you to set up up Maxcon 06, if the original people don't do it. |

Yup, I must have seen the sulphur one just before moving house in 2002. |

It's just kind of odd at first, but the more you learn about it, the more amusing it becomes--well, if you're the sort of person amused by such things. In the second, longer, video, virtually every detail is some sort of joke. This might be the best place to get a summary, if you're inclined to research it:
http://friends.portalofevil.com/sfs.php?si=3&fi=000035445
I think someone should write an annotated transcript of trailer 2 explaining everything.

Unfortunately, there's no region 1 DVD. But I've heard that it's easy to find good quality versions of all 9 episodes, the (much weaker) second series, and some extras on the Internet.

In case you've never seen the Zelda CDI games in action, Youtube has the intros and endings to the 2 side-scrollers, and google has a little gameplay footage from Zelda's Adventure. _________________

Leave those Zelda games alone, the gameplay is rather excellent.
For the side scrollers anyway, the top down one is nasty. |

Honestly, I want to play them. They don't look half bad, and the interspersed laughable cutscenes look to make the games interesting no matter what.
But yeah, that top-down one. The load times were at least five seconds per screen. I couldn't even play those PSX SNES RPG ports because opening the menus take that long. That game would kill me. _________________

Good lord yes!
I am forever dissapointed at how companies feel the need to replicate reality accurately, when abstraction and just plain freaky shit, is nearly always more impressive. Like that video there.
It reminds, Devil May Cry was actually based on another game, which had an early glitch that allowed you to indefinitely juggle enemies (some kind of Bushido game, wasn't it?). And a member of staff saw this glitch, liked it so much he decided to make a game out of it.
Plus, if you've seen a seriously glitched NPC in it's normal form, it'll be even more creepy to see it deformed. Kinda like how System Shock 2 worked, where you knew everyone was human.
This raises such a good point though. I remember back in the early days of gaming, when you saw something outlandishly OTT you were automatically impressed. For example, a giant mode 7 head you had to shoot, or the way Mario may have been thrust into a giant world on the NES. You know, crazy stuff you don't expect. Stuff which defies even the in-game reality.
Ahh, I wish modern developers would take a few risks and try something crazy once in a while. |

I read in an interview a long time ago that it was based off of a bug in Onimusha.
If I ever make a game, it's going to be the most surreal thing ever. I'd intentionally put creepy glitches in on purpose. I'd make the combat engine broken on purpose, too, and give the player access to all kinds of outlandish weapons... they'd want to use them, but they couldn't because the combat system would be so messed up that it'd be easier to just run past things. |

I have to chuckle, since when thinking about making games, I've often thought to myself that I'd also intentionally include glitches in my game, but clever ones that are amusing and insightful.
Of course, once it becomes intentional, it's no longer a glitch but a feature.
EDIT:
Just watched the Sushi Documentary...What the hell was that?!
I was taking it seriously until about half way through. I must admit, that sushi looked delicious though.
That was zany.

That's true. I just realized how ridiculous the phrase "intentional glitch" sounds. I'm not sure if the glitches in my non-existent game would be as insightful as they would be disturbing though. |

Clipping models in GRAW also has the same effects. You can just walk through your teammates, especially the female ones, which is something I try to do often in games like these. It would have taken what, 2 minutes, to make some wall code around people so that you couldn't walk through them? I can see the problem ifthey weree to die, pinning you in a corner or something like that, but a FUCKING JUMP BUTTON would have solved many problem I have with GRAW. _________________ Collector of over 1,538 strategy guides.

Just how "abstract" is F.E.A.R., though? I'm considering procuring it simply on the basis that it reminds me of the Global Frequency comics, but otherwise, it looks to me like they simply imitate Japanese horror films.
I mean, wouldn't it potentially be more accurate to describe something like killer7 or Silent Hill 4 as being abstract, in this case? _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

Good lord, I am even more confused as to what people want now. Though this makes me thankful I never followed the suggestions to "have TGQ layed out like The Escapist."
