That’s fuckin’ bananas.

Yes, I know this has been done, sort of. But I made this a few years back in college and never posted it anywhere or put it online. So now I’m abusing my power as a writer for this blog and showing it off. It’s bad, but silly.

FYI, the dude in the beginning was my Intro to Video professor, whose name happened to be Link, which inspired the whole thing. Thanks again to everyone who was in this thing. And yes, I got an A.

The Dreamcast just won’t die, and like a hungry zombie biting down on some fresh brains, the undead Dreamcast will be chowing down on Trigger Heart Exelica. This game is a port of a recent Naomi arcade game, and will be out in February 2007.-MIKE KURZ

What the Geek reader, Sarah Tomesky wrote to fill me in on a discovery she made. While watching the “best of” episode of the Sci Fi Channel’s popular original series, Ghost Hunters, she noticed some evidence that their footage of a chair being moved across the floor in a lighthouse may not have been as paranormal as originally reported. She supplied several screen caps showing what looks to be the figure of a man in the stairwell just outside the door to the room where the chair moves. Adding further validity to her claim is the fact that you can see motion in the stairwell just as the chair moves. The speculation Sarah came to is that someone in the background may be pulling the chair on a string. The string may not be visible in the footage, but if you believe Sarah’s evidence, the one pulling it is. Bear in mind, this is not proof of evidence tampering on the part of the ghost hunters team, but it does seem to cast doubt on the validity of that particular piece of evidence. Furthermore, if the evidence was tampered, that throws their investigative method into question as they claimed the lighthouse to be “haunted”. Read on to see the screen caps for yourself, and get a better copy of the video from the TAPS site here. It’s episode 104.

Independent Playstation Magazine posted this rather humbling video of the original Warhawk for the PS1 being played with a controller that (GASP) had both motion sensitivity, and vibration features, a combination Sony deemed impossible for the PS3.

Okay, I know this isn’t DIRECTLY tech related in any way, and I know all five of you read this site for the tech news…. but this had to go up. Al Gore and Bender do an animated spot for the new movie An Inconvenient Truth. Brought to us by the good people who made Futurama.

I’m a big fan of alternative energy. I think it’s a damn shame that Brazil has converted completely to ethanol (not that lousy corn ethanol either… the good stuff… sugar ethanol) and we here in the states have barely scratched the surface of using alternatives to fossil fuels…. except for this guy…. nothing but love for the water powered blow torch.

In honor of Bill Gates’ announcement that he will be quitting his day to day duties at Microsoft in July 2008, we dug up this little blooper for your enjoyment.

Gates will be dedicating his extra time to the charity work done by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

First spotted this over at Kotaku, and couldn’t resist posting it here.
