I long time ago I mentioned how much I love Optimus Rhyme. Their lyrics reach in an tickle the parts of my brain that usually only Wierd Al or They Might Be Giants can reach.
Last night I found this video on YouTube, more or less ignored. It features a really well-done stage area rendered in 3d, a great 3d rendition of Optimus Rhyme frontman Wheelie, and a nice transformation. This is really great work and pretty much nobody has seen it.
As of right now the video has a measly 800 views? My own video has nearly half a million. Seems unfair. Here’s hoping the promo makes it in front of a few more eyeballs.
Steam Summer Blues
This mess of dross, confusion, and terrible UI design is the storefront the big publishers couldn't beat? Amazing.
Fable II
The plot of this game isn't just dumb, it's actively hostile to the player. This game hates you and thinks you are stupid.
What is Piracy?
It seems like a simple question, but it turns out everyone has a different idea of right and wrong in the digital world.
Playstation 3
What was the problem with the Playstation 3 hardware and why did Sony build it that way?
The Opportunity Crunch
No, brutal, soul-sucking, marriage-destroying crunch mode in game development isn't a privilege or an opportunity. It's idiocy.
Oh my god first comment? Yay!
The transformation is too “noisy,” it kind of comes over the song itself too much. I mean, I know that’s not a big deal, and the 3D is pretty cool, but I was enjoying the music more than the rendering, and would rather the sound effects were more muted.
As it was starting, i didnt realise it was rendered… :)
nifty. =D
Haha, reading through the comments on your video someone wanted help finding that song. Is They /Might/ Be Giants really that hard to remember? Why do people remember the Might as Must?
There are hundreds of comments, and about a third of them ask for the song title, which is given in the credits. Then I get a private message every few weeks ago asking the same thing. I’ve stopped answering, since they had to look past the answer several times.
YouTubers. Silly.
Very very cool. I’ll have to check these guys out more!
