This joins a long list of old games being turned into movie trailers. And it’s amusing, if you like this sort of thing…

YouTube Tuesday: Irreverant irrelevance
This one’s from Vimeo, not YouTube. But it’ll do. It’s another terrible piece of “relevant” worship. Shorter this time. So that’s something to be thankful for.

YouTube Tuesday: Teenage Mutant Cyborg Turtle
Ninja Turtles have all the fun.
I’ve been tracking the story of Simone and her frisky dog. If you haven’t been – then you should. She took him to the vet the other day. The same day we sent our little Rosie to the vet for the first time. I’d never sent an animal to the vet before, but I think it was the most expensive five minutes of my life – and I wasn’t there. We sent her with my in-laws.
The vet told them that we’d already cured said turtle of her fungal infection by the power of betadine. Hooray for us. And then he charged us $50.
This little turtle had significantly greater problems… he lost his legs, so they replaced them with little plastic bits that slide along the floor.
YouTube Tuesday: Super Mario Bros – Directors Cut
If only the original (and terrible) Mario movie had production values like this. It’s not really a director’s cut – but I imagine the director of the original would have cut the whole lot with the benefit of hindsight.
4WD Segway
The real reason Segways haven’t taken the world by storm (despite having awesome brand placement on shows like Arrested Development) is that they’re not really all terrain personal transportation devices.
Here’s a handy solution.
More new Muse
Here’s the second Muse song from the upcoming album – The Resistance. It’s less Queenish than the last one.
The tracklisting includes quite a few songs with “symphony” in the title. Which is pretty exciting in and of itself…
Unfortunately the YouTube video was pulled for violating copyright. Here’s a link to the song on the Muse website.
YouTube Twosday: United States of Eurasia
There’s new Muse coming out this year. Huzzah. Here’s the first track to be released from their new album – they released it in chunks and it made its radio debut today…
YouTube Tuesday: Perils of Gaming
We’ve all read stories about Chinese gamers who die mid session (because they forget to eat) – but here’s a lesser known gaming ailment – First Person Shooter Disease – or Duke Nukem’s Disease. Be careful.
YouTube Toosday: Real Life Ninja Turtle
Real life ninja turtles are popping up all over the internet. The latest is this ninja who purposefully got himself caught by a fishing family – just so he could teach them a lesson.
YouTube Twosday: Legolibrium
Equilibrium is a good movie. If you like badly adapted dystopian fusions of 1984 and the Matrix. Which I do. So it’s awesome that this guy has created lego versions of scenes from the movie…
YouTube Tuesday: Lego of the past
Ahh Lego and Super Mario Bros, and Lego and Pacman… Gold.
Pacman arrives about a minute in to this one…
YouTube Tuesday: I should have just conchord
For those who missed it – Flight of the Conchords is now on SBS on Mondays after South Park.
Last night Murray invested the band’s emergency funds with a Nigerian friend he met on the Internet.
Brilliant. Here’s a sample of their brilliance.
YouTube Toosday: Wiilax
Perhaps inspired by the “bed goes up, bed goes down” hospital bed – this beanbag is controlled by the whimsical waving of a wiimote. Here’s the original concept drawing…
Beautiful. Applied science. The laziest piece of furniture evolution ever. Amazing.

The designers called it “the Beancat”…
“The Beancat is an all-wheel drive, battery powered bean bag chair, controlled by a Wii nunchuk. Getting a drink from the fridge has never been so much fun. The low profile drive, frame and controlling hardware are completely concealed so at first glance it’s just a simple bean bag.”
Here’s how you can make your own – complete with detailed diagrams.
