[CES 2009] Scenes From CES – Restrooms – A Brisk Time-Lapse Walk From The Bellagio To The Imperial Palace

By David Ponce

We don’t spend all our time at the Convention Center, or inside hotels. No no… we also spend an ungodly amount of time getting to and from these places. Here’s what that looks like.

OGCC Day 10 – Take A Trip Down Memory Lane With A BeTaMaXMas

2008 OGCC Day 10 (Image property OhGizmo!)I was really hoping I’d stumble across another website this year that made it easy to watch those classic Christmas TV specials that have been kicking around since the 80’s. But not in my wildest dreams could I have hoped for a website as awesome as A BeTaMaXMas.

I usually don’t have much patience for flash-only websites, but that’s not the case here. The site is done up to look like the basement TV room we all had growing up, complete with a Christmas tree, a Star Wars poster, wood paneling on the walls and most importantly, a B-Tronics TV and betamax deck playing nothing but awesome 80’s Christmas shows and commercials. Seriously, whoever put this together went above and beyond the call of duty.

At times the picture can be a bit snowy (just like I remember) but that can be easily fixed by adjusting the antennas perched atop the set. There’s even a classic TV Guide you can click on that shows what’s currently playing, and while the selection of channels is limited, it looks like there’s more than enough content to keep me distracted until New Years. And now back to the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special

Fan-Made Mega Man Trailer Will Blow You Away

This post is syndicated with permission from GamerFront.net

How many times have you watched a movie based off of a popular video game franchise, only to be rewarded with a steaming pile of crap? My guess is just about any time you’ve seen a Uwe Boll film. Sure, there have been a few good video game flicks here and there but rarely do I ever get too excited over one (though the Tetris movie sounds riveting). However, this Mega Man fan flick actually looks pretty cool.

Sure, I don’t have a lot of faith in the big robot battles being all that great, but you have to admit that this looks incredible. For a fan film not designed to actually bring in any cash, they’ve obviously put a lot of time and effort into this thing. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that there’s a little more behind this than were being told, but either way, color me impressed.

Video Friday: The Great Office War

By Evan Ackerman

If I worked in a cubicle farm, this is how I’d like to spend my Friday afternoons. Plus, the video features (among other impressive Nerf weaponry) the incredibly awesome Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 (not due to be released until fall of 2008) in action:

OGCC Day 12 – A Festive Time Waster – 101 Classic Christmas Videos Online

Christmas Videos (Images courtesy their respective owners)
By Andrew Liszewski

OGCC Day 12 (Image property of OhGizmo!)I know it seems kind of odd to post another time waster since I doubt ‘reading OhGizmo!’ is part of anyone’s job description. But once you get through our witty quips, sarcastic digs and other humorous observations this should keep you distracted for several more hours.

The good people at Fanpop have put together a list of 101 classic Christmas videos you can actually watch online. The list is broken down into several sections including The Essentials, Cartoons, Stop-Motion Animation, Versions of A Christmas Carol, Sitcoms, Music Videos, Commercials, Parodies and Abominations. While some of the videos have already been taken offline, the site is trying hard to stay on top of things by removing links that don’t work anymore.

Certain classics like A Christmas Story and Miracle on 34th Street are missing because there are no online versions, but other than that the list looks pretty comprehensive. MST3K fans will be particularly happy to see the original version of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, which is so bad it seems like it was only shot so it could be made fun of later.

So head on over to Fanpop if you want to say goodbye to your workload and hello to Christmas memories.

Video Friday: How To Taunt A Polar Bear

By Evan Ackerman

If you haven’t seen this yet, well… It’s damn funny (for everyone except the poor chick in the seal outfit, anyway). Next time I go to the zoo, I know what I’m wearing.

Video Thursday: If Real Life Was Like An Internet Chatroom/Forum

By Evan Ackerman

Thrusday’s not quite Friday. So, wasting time away until five o’clock strikes is harder to justify. Still, we say “To hell with productivity!”, these videos are hot.

If you haven’t run across them yet, these two vids are very well done and show what might happen if people acted in real life as they do on the internet. Just like the internet, both of the videos have some substantially NSFW content.

Brilliant Video: If Minesweeper Was… A Movie?

By David Ponce

Some awesome footage from the Collegehumour guys. If Minesweeper was real (not just some 30KB game), this is the sort of tension and drama you could expect.
