Some more MC Frontalot for your Saturday morning:
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 has basically the same plot as Half-Life 2. So why is one a classic and the other simply obnoxious and tiresome?
Stop Asking Me to Play Dark Souls!
An unhinged rant where I maybe slightly over-reacted to the water torture of Souls evangelism.
Stolen Pixels
A screencap comic that poked fun at videogames and the industry. The comic has ended, but there's plenty of archives for you to binge on.
Starcraft: Bot Fight
Let's do some scripting to make the Starcraft AI fight itself, and see how smart it is. Or isn't.
Batman v. Superman Wasn't All Bad
It's not a good movie, but it was made with good intentions and if you look closely you can find a few interesting ideas.
Awesome, thanks for the video!
Wow…. just wow.
Pitch Dark was great, but this is just a completely different level of amazing. I obviously need to do some music shopping.
Technical nit-pick, you changed tags for the two videos.
Pitch Dark: mc-frontalot
Bizzare Genius Baby: frontalot
Okay, let me see here. I have a hard time understand a lot of Frontalot’s lyrics, so I want to know if I have the story straight.
He has a baby girl, who is really smart. He has trouble identifying with her, and she’s also a lot to manage around the house. After much work and trial, she finally accepts him as a dad and role model, so he sells her to a sweat shop in Singapore, for which she kills him.
Is that basically the idea?
I feel like I ought to like Frontalot. I really want to, but I guess it’s not for everyone. On the other hand I really love Jonathan Coulton, who also writes a bunch of “geek music.”
For what it’s worth, Frontalot’s efforts seem very well-made, and just as good as any other rapper out there… and he isn’t singing about shooting cops or raping/peeing on kids or stealing things, so that’s a check in the plus column!
Kevin:
“Is that basically the idea?”
Except for the most important part:Hes just dreaming all of that.
Oh! Okay, cool. Thanks for that Luci. See, that’s why I asked!
(Though I’m not certain how that affects the story…)
Shamus – another to check out (but that has no video) is Secrets from the Future. You’ll find a lot of parallels to the futility of DRM mechanisms. :)
