Breaking Bad: The 8-Bit Video Game

(probably only funny if you've seen the show -- spoilers inside)

Awesome.

Impressive combination of the analogue and digital world.

Tony, how much of the show does that video cover? My wife and I have been catching up recently, and I've been dying to watch this thing. We're only about four episodes into season three.

Lots of spoilers. Do not watch it until you're caught up 100%. There's stuff in there from the most recent episode.

Yeah, what he said.

Cool. I've been here, to this exact spot. But not quite in the same positions.

World's Largest Rope Swing .

The video requires something called flash.

Wow. I'm glad I waited until we finished catching up, because you're absolutely right. That had stuff from the very last episode of season 4. Very funny, though, and the show is insane!

I don't necessarily think this is a great video (it hits some cliched horror notes), but it's an excuse for me to post a kick-ass song by my all-time favorite musician, Mark Lanegan.

His voice is rust. His voice raises demons.

My Maestra de español sent me this link. The setup is a singer who rehearses with his/her piano leaves the house, and...

This one plays off a [not so] recent fad you might have seen on those reality talent show competitions, but in a morbid way:

Have you been living under a rock for the past 2 years?

I like music videos as an art form on their own, but I have yet to see one that does anything for the featured song. They all take away from the music IMO.

Thanks for posting, I'd never seen that one before and it was certainly super creative and entertaining - funny.

Nah, just don't listen to a great deal of current pop music.

I can't believe FTP have achieved their current level of popularity. Most of the artists I like don't get that kind of airplay. It's good to see.

Go go gadget automated hardware QA testing!

Hilarious!

Meanwhile, there's someone who's been waiting on the elevator for a long time on floor 0.

I'm sure we have some Weird Al fans here.
