I’m a sucker for charming short films, and this one certainly takes the cake. Sign Language – I voted for it and last I checked it had a substantial lead.
Keep reading for Ghostbusters vs. Love Game, Matchstick Minas Tirith and the most epic Quarantine Rap in the world.

While this remix of Poker Face with Sonic & Knuckles Lava Reef theme may be decent, the real champ is Ghostbusters remixed with Love Game, the greatest remix of all time.
Artist carving a Big Daddy out of a giant tree stump with a chainsaw. This is pretty impressive, but not nearly up to ice sculpture quality.
Motion tracking 3D using the DSi camera … this is phenomenal and something that every game should have, along with every TV. If only they could do it for more than one person at a time.
While I maintain that Supreme Commander 2 is going to be a debacle in terms of being a game – it does have a fairly interesting new pathfinding system.
This is a full account of the Steam / Portal new developments – Portal 2 announcement at GDC coming up clearly.
Dude makes a 1-Up mushroom quilt. Epic. Home ec is good for something I suppose.
While the 1Up quilt is cool, nothing tops the Link to the Past map quilt. I need one of these things ...
Activision shuts down fan made King’s Quest game, proving once and for all that they’re epic douches.
Jack Tretton says the PS3 is still in the first 25-30% of its lifespan. Looking forward to 2050 when we’re all enslaved by the PS3 overlord.
Case mods are always pretty cool, and I like Borderlands … therefore, logically …
Woo 85% of online gaming is on the PC. It lives! Although to be fair it’s going to be a lot of casual stuff probably.
Funny
Mega64 says Sonic really sucks. In an interesting way. These guys just keep getting better and better.
Just die with some dignity, Sonic. Jesus
I have brought great shame to my family
Donkey Kong vs. Yoshi t-shirt. The epic battle continues. Tokyo is completely destroyed.

Business advice from Van Halen. Surprise – we’re not total douche bags, we’re just super careful and innovative. Or a little of column A …
Is this a man you'd really want to take business advice from? Yeah ... me too
Pretty cool making of videos (as well as the music video itself) of OK Go’s new song. Very intricate I suppose for a music video.
Interesting film made up entirely of logos. I’m not entirely sure what’s going on here but it’s pretty cool visually.
Matchstick replica of Minas Tirith. This thing is pretty incredible – especially because he’s going to light it up after showing it off for a little.
At least the costume design in Alice in Wonderland looks interesting. Can’t really say the same for my outlook of the film.
Interesting concept for new film clip search database. I guess this could solve some arguments.
Social media breakdown by gender. Women the most dominant on Myspace. Seriously, women? Myspace? Embarrassing.
Funny
Epic quarantine rap. This guy should be the next American Idol by default.
I'd love to go meet that Quarantine Rap guy. He seems pretty cool. Just need the right gear for the trip
I’m not sure exactly what’s going on here, but I like it. Asian dramatization of Gordon Brown going crazy and punching people.
What was this student thinking, seriously? I mean talk about not having enough to do.
Teen Wolf pug dog. I have one of these costumes myself. Works for all occasions.
A muppet version of the Wicker Man. This remains the greatest film of all time for pure hilarity.
I have brought great shame to my family
Aliens vs. Predator info graphic by the same guy that did that epic Giant Shark vs. Mega Octopus info graphic. I could read these things all day.
The new Prince of Persia behind the scenes video is a showcase for Jake Gyllenhall … it’s clear that Jerry Bruckheimer has figured out what is going to sell this film …
Oh my god – they’re bombing Disney World! Somebody save Mickey.
Now I know why they're bombing Disney World. What's your job? Oh, me? I'm a broomstick
Goodnight Forest Moon … a bedtime book for nerds / losers. My kind of thing.
That’s all for this week. Did I miss anything? Hit up the comments!
