Super Bowl Ads! blah..

Monday February 8th, 2010 in Sweet Links | No comments »

This year has proven to be quite a drag on Superbowl ads in my professional opinion! The Superbowl ads consisted of a sexually driven ad (courtesy of GoDaddy) the normal barrage of movie trailers (Robin Hood, Prince of Persia and Wolfman included) and about a dozen commercials for TV shows on CBS. BORING! I must say the biggest disappointment was the sheer lack of funny ads. There were a few funny ads but overall I think the Lame-to-Awesome-ratio was too high for what I’m used to, being me and all. Hit the jump for the whole list of video’s worth watching or watch them all at adblitz’s YouTube channel.

Worms ready to distract me at work too? uggh.

Thursday January 28th, 2010 in Sweet Links | No comments »

I dont think I could say it any better than the orignal artist:

A bit of background for the non-gamers: in the late 1990s, there was a series of multiplayer games called Worms (Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, etc etc). Each player controlled a team of cute worms and took turns to try to annihilate each other by arming their own worms with a selection of outlandish and hilarious weapons. Crazy cartoon carnage ensued. Worms has recently made a comeback with new releases for consoles and iPhone, but 1999’s Worms Armageddon on PC is still a great game too.

Amazing work planetjune! Hit the jump for one more picture and a link to the flickr gallery.

Thanks to Bill for the tip on this one.

Cube Warfare: Cardnetics – Business Cards that mean Business!

Friday January 15th, 2010 in Sweet Links | No comments »

In the past we’ve seen creative business cards before, but this one actually punctures my bubble of nice-to-have-but-wont-ever-want-to-order. I totally wanna order 50 of these bad boys to promote CrimsonLinks right now! Right now they are in the prototype stage, but once out in full force, the creator thinks they’ll be about $2 each. That’d be sweet to order 5,000 of these with little CrimsonLinks logo’s all over them… Then I’d sell them here for $5 each. What a sound business plan! Hit the jump for a few more pictures, including a video of the penny shooting business card in action.

Thanks to Robin for the newstip!

Post #200! Yuna Papercraft gives Link a run for his money…

Wednesday January 13th, 2010 in Sweet Links | No comments »

A while back I posted a link to a papercraft of Link from the Legend of Zelda. Well this one isnt as good, but it definitely gives it a run for its money! Check it out! I wonder if the guy who made it felt weird when he was forming her chest? hmm… THE POWAH HE MUSTA FELT! Some crazy work on the hair though. Jeeze! There is also a video of the 3ft papercraft after the break. Oh and on an unrelated note… here is my 200th post! hooray!

Another movie remix, creative enough for ya?

Wednesday January 13th, 2010 in Sweet Links | No comments »

A long time ago (in a galaxy far far away?) I blogged about a website that I unfortunately am now unable to find, but it was of a youtube video played over and over and over again, but with only one audio track. Was sweet :P Now when I blogged about it last time, it featured a video which worked quite well with it by Pogo called Alice. Pogo has since done it again, and although it might be better in the youtuuuube viewer I linked last time, It’s still pretty creative. This time Pogo tackles Terminator 2 and creates a pretty neat track. Take a listen (or a watch) above.

Elephant in the way of success.

Monday January 4th, 2010 in Sweet Links | No comments »

This one time on a math test I scratched out the question and wrote in “what is pi to 100 digits?”… then wrote out pi to a hundred digits. My teacher gave me a bonus mark for the effort but the question was worth 5 points, so I lost out in the end. Hit the jump to see what this teacher did when a kid gave an excuse for not being able to complete the question due to an elephant in his way!

Pointless: Manual Digital Clock

Thursday December 17th, 2009 in Sweet Links | No comments »

500x_standard_time

In an effort to be creative and fun, this team of looney-bin’s decided to manually change a digital clock made of wood for 24 hours. Sure it looks cool, and I’m sure you’d think it was pretty sweet if you were on the project until 5 minutes into it… Then you’d be like “God I hate my job!”. Okay someone do the math for me please, how many boards did they move in total?

Check the video after the break

500x_austinweaponfinished3

It suggests that you use wooden skewers as ammo on this badass office crossbow, but I’m totally bending some large paperclips right now to make into darts. Too bad my assistant is on holiday’s for the next month… I’d totally have her make 6 dozen of those things! Hit the jump for the full instructions on how to make your own badass crossbow for the office…Its just an excerpt from John Austin’s must-read new book Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction.

REPOST: Little Red Riding Hood

Tuesday December 1st, 2009 in Sweet Links | No comments »

Sometimes videos are just so awesome, we go back and watch them again and again… Like the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, or the Powerthirst video. Well the above embeded video has earned a place in my heart very close to the perfect video status. I posted this video once before, but it was on my previous blogging engine and has since been retired… so I felt that if this site was to contain everything awesome, it should contain this video too. Here’s a repost of the Little Red Riding Hood video.

Sweet: Dr. Mario Song

Tuesday December 1st, 2009 in Sweet Links | No comments »

Hey, here’s a pretty sweet video. Quite a few lyrics worth catching, so you may need to view it a couple times. Not me though, I understood all of it before it was even done playing, cause I’m awesome like that. At least that’s what my girlfriend always tells me. OH YEAH!
