The Error Macro Video Gallery - A Three Dimensional Joystick Made Out of Meat
Stumbling bleary-eyed through the bowels of a hulking 95-hour Fallout 3 save game, along with a continuing fruitless job search (unemployment does wonders for 95-hour game saves) and arguing with Google over ads (note the newly tidy side bar -- I lost) has left me distracted from the site of late. But in sifting through old notes I've got left on my hard drive, I notice I had a set of links for another video gallery that I never actually put up. Well, there's no time like the present, even when the time was supposed to be three months ago.
Starting off is a tongue-in-cheek rap performed over one of Donkey Kong Country 2's most popular BGM tracks, Stickerbrush Symphony. I think it's impossible to tell someone "this is a rap set to video game music" and make it sound like a good idea, so I guess you'll just have to take my word for it.
Segment one of a three part series chronicling every way to lose the game in King's Quest V. The dickish narrator rubbing it in your face every time is what makes it. The rest of the series is here, and similar videos for King's Quest VI and VII can be found here.
A trailer for BoneTown, the "world's first action adventure porno video game." It's just as sexist as you would expect, but the true genius is in making it completely racist as well.
A clip from '80s video game competition show Video Power, featuring designer William Novak demonstrating his new creation, the Power Glove. As one YouTube commenter pointed out, he keeps tugging on the Glove throughout the clip -- I don't know if it's just a nervous tick from being on television or, along with everything else that sucked about the Power Glove, it also won't stay on your damned hand.
A hamster works his way through a real-life version of the C64 title Monty on the Run -- there's a playthrough of the actual game here for comparative purposes.
A working version of Donkey Kong created in Lego, complete with jumping Mario using sensors to detect when barrels are coming. A full write-up on how it was made is here.
While most gamers focus on making challenging, hardcore speedrun videos for games, Doc Future provides an alternative: A jazzy, low-key playthrough of Sonic 1. On easy.
