The Error Macro Video Gallery - MAD World
There's a trend in Japan called MAD Movies. They're similar to the AMVs YouTube gets plagued with, but somewhat different, and I'll let Wikipedia handle the explanation:
The main difference between AMVs and MADs though, is the fact that MADs are more like parodies. Instead of clips from anime series, MAD videos use similar effects found in opening or ending sequences of anime. Those effects tend to be synchronized with the music. Furthermore, MADs do not necessarily have to be anime related, where as AMVs are implied to require anime.
So what we have here is a parody of Fullmetal Alchemist's opener and closer with Final Fantasy VI characters replacing the cast. It's actually pretty damn impressive, as it seems to be comprised of a lot of original animation. This is also likely the closest we'll ever get to a full FFVI anime, so take what you can get.
A 19 year old German homebrewer demonstrates his DS project Super Smash Bros. Rumble. It's obviously very early, but it will be interesting to see how it develops (if it develops [it won't]).
A making of video for the first Earthworm Jim that is very mid-90s in every way. David Perry's accent makes the odd, intermittent appearance in his speech here, occasionally making him sound Australian despite hailing from Northern Ireland.
Somebody packs a couple dozen cop cars in one location in GTA4 and then blows them all up. Like you do.
To provide counterbalance to any latent sexism or female objectification found on Error Macro, we present to you as a public service: A Playgirl model in a G-string using Wii Fit. Personally, I'm surprised to find that Playgirl still exists.
The Who can't resist making fun of Harmonix a little, even while playing a concert for them.
Not specifically Team Fortress related, but given that the guy's website has a picture of a Portal turret at the top, it's not hard to imagine the thing had some game inspiration. This is series of test runs for a homemade, laptop-powered, fully autonomous portable sentry gun. No sapping is involved.
An animated short film called Metal Gear Solid: Cold Blooded. Actually, calling it "animated" is a bit of a stretch, but it works well enough.

Thanks for all the work you do, Bill. If it weren't for the Error Macro video gallery, I never would have seen that kickin' rad FF6 video.
