Friday Videos - August 31st, 2018

posted August 31, 2018 #

Headed down to DragonCon this weekend. It'll be a quick trip but I suspect it will be absurdly enjoyable. Watch the grams for progress as I imagine I won't be able to stop taking photos of every single thing I see.

In the meantime, here's this...
  • Donut County - after many years of teasing, the game where you play a hole that swallows objects is finally available on tons of platforms, can't wait to dive in.
  • My Roommate Sonic - thanks to the AV Club I also stumbled on this prior offering from Donut County creator Ben Esposito. It works as a short film but it's also a full-on game; should you want to take on the yearning roommate role yourself. There's some questionable undertones here but I have to believe there's no harmful intent.
  • Cats Whiskers - maybe not that fascinating for all but lots of slo-mo cat footage, so, I'm in.
  • Sandusky, Ohio Primer - I've shared this plenty previously but it broke 12,000 views this week thanks to a post on /r/listentothis. The post got yanked because "Chris Farley" was in the title and the video isn't really a song as much as it's a Hello but, regardless, I'm very pleased to see the view count get there. Also, our first Troll comment. Great stuff.
  • My Bad - don't interrupt a conversation.
  • Playing Pokemon Blue - tiny endurance challenge to patiently wait through the beginning but it's an amusing payoff.
If you're desperate for something more, check this short film SwanSong featuring Noel Fielding - not an incredibly upbeat offering but good to see the Mighty Boosh star doing some more dramatic interpretations.
