Awesome Video Of The Day
Colin’s Bear Animation
I watched this video like ten times before I realized I should turn the sound on. I have no idea how many times I watched it after that, but I know it’s still every bit as kickass as it was the first time. Hang on - I’m gonna go watch it again.
Yup - still rules.
According to the “About This Video” section:
“This video was created by a third year Game Development student at UOIT. This is the final animation for an Animation Arts class. My friend Colin used all the techniques that were taught by this professor. And as you can see, he made the best animation with what was taught.
I know this was an attempt to throw some sass at a less-than-stellar professor, but considering the current state of video games I think the industry should actually give this video some thought. If I had $50 and a choice between this and yet another boring WWII shooter, I have a pretty good idea of where my money would go:
With 2008 just around the corner, the web is abuzz with end-of-the-year lists on just about every topic you can think of. Whether it’s news stories, celebrity gossip, gadgets, or films, it seems like pretty much everyone with an internet connection and a pulse has something definitive to say about some aspect of 2007. I thought about doing a list myself, but I decided that would be too much work. Which brings us to this week’s theme: end-of-the-year best-of lists. Just in a general sort of way.
2007: The Year of the List
I’m in no position to protest if Time Magazine wants to do a countdown of the Top 10 Man-Made Disasters of 2007, but isn’t it sort of a cop-out to give the #1 spot to global warming? I don’t know about you guys, but when I think of disasters, I think of things that are swift and spectacular, like the Great Molasses Flood, or that one time that Fergalicious chick peed her pants onstage. Global warming is certainly no picnic, but can it really be considered the #1 man-made disaster of 2007 just because everyone happens to be talking about it lately? They came up with 9 other valid entries - couldn’t they have found some sort of minor oil spill to fill in the gaps or something?
I know it’s only Time Magazine (they’re no Cracked, obviously), but c’mon, guys: maybe it’s Time to step your game up. See what I did there? I used the name of the magazine in a different context to change its meaning, and then I threw in a moderately well-known hip-hop idiom to make it sound more casual. That’s why they pay me to do this shit. I know all these cool tricks.

I’ve been watching that bear video at least once a day since you posted this. It’s like drugs.

I would so buy that game… I’m not even kidding.

Sexy bear danced his way into my heart.

I’m not trying to be an ass, but I think the phrase is “as slow as cold molasses” which I assume moves pretty slow.
In any case, so there were these 3 moles. They wake up from hibernation and the father pops his head up from the ground and says, “Hey! Come up here. I smell honey!” So, the mother pops her head up out of the hole, and says “oh no, no. I smell syrup.” The child couldn’t find space to pop up out of the hole and so responds, disgruntled, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. All I can smell down here is mole asses. (Molasses)” Har har.

I thought molasses moved slowly. Hence the phrase, “as slow as molasses.” I wish I was as slow as molasses because apparently I’d be able to run 35mph. That would probably score me an Olympic Gold Medal and all of the endorsement money and endorsement ass that comes with it. I’d finally be above the law.

I hope Super Dancing Outer Space Bear Man 3: Outer Space Bear Man in Outer Space (known as SDOSBM3:OSBMOS to those in ‘the bis’) is better than Super Dancing Outer Space Bear Man 2: Outer Space Bear Man in Delaware. What a boring game that was.

Here’s the same song, but better because it’s funnier in French.

You want a song that and video that will be burned into your head?

I promise that it’s not a RickRoll. It’s the gummi bear song, and if you have not heard it you’re missing out on the best song and video ever.

Fixed it. I’m not having any of that tricky shit on my watch.

When Nazis aren’t available, giant flying bears will suffice.

I was really disappointed that this video wasn’t longer. That song will be burned into my brain for the rest of the week.

I’d rather shoot nazis.
