Friday Videos - April 22nd, 2016

The heat is on for the May 1st Reboot. There is just over a week left to get my act together and relaunch the site. Fingers crossed that this kind of pressure fuels the fire and I deliver something that everyone enjoys as a needed upgrade and fulfills some of my own personal goals that I wished to accomplish. I guess we'll find out in about a week, huh?

Enjoy!

• Alice in Wonderland via Google Dream - you know that Deep Dream processor that Google has? Well, someone paired Alice in Wonderland with some classic paintings for the Tea Party scene and the results could not be more wonderful. Stunning to say the least.
• While My Guitar Gently Weeps - I don't know a ton about Prince. I am familiar with the hits and I certainly appreciate his penchant for flair but I don't have a deep well of mind-blowing videos to draw from to pay the man some tribute. However, this Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame inductee video features the man himself taking the solo and, as usual, he absolutely destroys it. Be sure to stick through to the very end where he nonchalantly catapults the guitar from his body, never to be seen again.
• Makin' My Way Downtown - I absolutely don't want to know any back story here. It's weird for weird's sake and that's fine by me.
• My Name is Bady - you're welcome. This kid is a gem.
• SF2 Gun Cat - making mods to videogame weaponry for hilarious results is nothing new but this particular mod is lightyears above and beyond what you've come to expect.
• Swimming Robot Snake - I know I've seen this before but something about revisiting it recently really creeped me out and fascinating me. Can't look away.
• Titantic Sinks in Real Time - it's funny that there's a 2hr 40min video of a ship sinking but it's also kind of tragic to think about how brutal and scary it would have been to actually experience this mind-numbingly slow death.

Also, revisit Batdance when you have a chance, it's a legitimately awesome piece of work.

One last thing, you must watch this. Hasbro recently hosted a weird Facebook event where three of their mascots played Hungry Hungry Hippo's but weren't allowed to speak.. so Topher Chris put some Eyes Wide Shut music behind it and made it ultra weird. Very creepy.
