When I was a kid (mumble) years ago, there was a barber I used to go to. It wasn’t the closest, not by a long shot. What made it so attractive though, was the Space Invaders console table in the waiting area.
At that time, it was the best thing ever and – oddly enough – his trade shot up. Especially after he put up a sign barring non-customers from playing.
I wanted one. Heck, I still do.
Until I win the lottery and have both the money and space to own it, this will have to do…

Yes, there is a damned awful pun in the title. You’ll forget it soon enough, trust me.
I was actually going to run with a “X+Y= Awesome!” title, but I already used that format fer the OK Go clip.
Back to business. One of the music magazines I read, Word, sends a weekly email of stuff to those who subscribe to their site. Sometimes it’s good, other times, ‘meh’ doesn’t begin to describe it…
This one is different; it has ‘win’ plastered all over it. I mean, who wouldn’t like to hear their favourite hits transformed into a bleepy 8-bit NES tune?
Kudos to Brad Smith who has rendered the entire ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ album into bitty goodness – along with much more.
Sadly, none of the clips actually have NES-style animation to go with the music, but ye can’t have everything, can ye?
Wow.
Wow.
Filthy French animation is totally NSFW. I saw this over at horklog and set it aside to blog. The next day, I was checking out Line Boil and found it again.
What really wins me over is the description on the Vimeo, “an 8-bit Sega era style graphic.” If they had used Nintendo in the description I would have been irritated. However, I know you folks love that classic Nintendo garbage.
I am a bit late to the game on this one because I ignored it the first time I spotted it on a blog. Whatever site I was at, they were gushing over the video because of some Mario-Nintendo crap. I am not part of the cult of Mario, it bores me. However, chetyre sent me the video through twitter, so I gave it a chance on his recommendation. Check it out, if you haven’t already seen it.
This is a short stop motion piece made of win. Take a trip back to the 8 bit days via Legos.
