I recently acquired the vocals only version of Kanye West's Gold Digger. Shortly after that I acquired the instrumental only version of the same song. I decided the best use of these two files was to make it sound like a chipmunk was singing the song. This sounds simple when I write it down but actually took me a fair bit of time to get the vocal and instrumental track lined up just right:


Kanye West - Gold Digger (Chipmunk Version)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Dan Rather Crazy



Notes: I made this using a neat little program called Crazy Talk that lets you edit still photos to make it appear as if they are talking. The first part is a computer generated voice, the last part is me screeching.

I'm also testing a custom youtube video player that will allow you to access all the videos I've uploaded to youtube:



PS
I apparently just accidently banned myself from youtube... (long story I literally banned myself) I will be in the process of re-uploading all my videos for the next few days

New Photoshop




Some Things To Notice:

Flavor
Look closely at description of what product does
Symbol replacing ADA approval sticker

Note: The reason the font may loom a bit off is because the only high quality picture of a Listerine bottle was entirely in a foreign language. I had to redo the text of the entire bottle in the closest font I could find (Arial Black)

Utterly Outrageous Rumors

  1. The reason Wal-Mart is able to keep its prices so low is because they use their elderly greeters as collateral when dealing with foreign investors.
  2. Elvis and Bigfoot are married under common-law.
  3. Hitler is alive and currently working as a circus clown under the name "Baron von Happy".
  4. Contrary to popular belief, Michael Jackson is not a black male popstar, but a bloodthirsty alien killer from the planet Omnicron Persiei VIII whose gender depends on its mood.
  5. The Space Shuttle Challenger never actually exploded as it took place during the 1985-86 season of Dallas which was only a dream.

Set Phasers To Kill Presents: Leia's Surprisingly Good Memory

I made this video mainly to address a major continuity error between the old (good) Star Wars Trilogy, and the new (not so good) Star Wars Trilogy. Basically in Return of the Jedi, Leia implies that her mother, Amidala, lived long enough for Leia to get to know her. The problem is that in Revenge of the Sith, Amidala clearly dies immediately after giving birth to Luke and Leia. So that makes Leia either insane, a liar, an insane liar, or just a young woman with a remarkable memory. With that, I give you: "Leia's Surprisingly Good Memory" Enjoy!

Don't EVER Judge A Book By It's Cool Cover Art

I recently read a book that purported on it's cover to be a detective story. Half-way through the book I realized that not only was this not a detective story but a romance novel, it was also a badly written romance novel. Here is my summary of the plot:

Woman: I'm looking for a detective
Detective: I'm a detective!
Woman: Okay
Detective: (Drinks a beer)
Woman: I don't like you!
Detective: I don't like you either. I'm gonna abuse you, then we're gonna have sex. Ok?
Woman: Ok.
Detective: (Slaps Woman)
Woman: Make love to me!
Detective: Ok.
(They have sex)
Woman: Now I like you.
(Man walks in)
Woman: Ahhhhhhh! He's after my baby!
Man: HAHAHA!
Detective: (Shoots Man)
Man: Damn you and your concealed firearms permit!
Detective: What baby?
Woman: You know, the one we left with the complete strangers we found on that Indian Reservation?
Detective: Oh, that baby.
(They have sex again)
Detective: You have melted my icy cold heart through multiple instances of intercourse. I love you.
Woman: I love you too.

THE END


Next time I get a book, I'm reading the back. There goes ten hours of my life that I'll never get back again...

Fake Trailer - Black Friday

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. This often creates several traffic jams and people with tents waiting outside stores for them to open. Since the idea of actually going outside and shopping (as opposed to the quicker and more efficient online shopping) is frightening, Black Friday to me would be a horrifying experience. I decided to create a fake movie trailer about this.




NOTE: I actually am not quite finished with this video, I want to find clips of rioters to replace the actual clips of Black Friday Shoppers.

Video Game Glitches - Rush 2

I remember how excited I was when I found this glitch (it's not often that I am the first to find a glitch). It really has no useful purpose just a cool way to get outside of the map.

Game - Rush 2
Console - N64
Level - Las Vegas
Difficulty - Very Easy



NOTE: It is possible to survive this and drive for a while underneath the map (I've done it before)

Photoshop: Snapple Caps

I was looking at Snapple bottle caps the other day (you know, the ones with facts on them) and thought how funny it would be to have completely inaccurate facts on them. I immediately set to work making photoshops of 4 caps. Enjoy!

Video - Captain Keyes

This is a video I made using the audio and video (I had to separate, then recombine them)from a cut-scene in Halo 1. I also used a program that edits still photos and makes them appear to speak. It contains a spoiler, so if for some reason you haven't played the game yet, be warned.
