Gandolf lets 'em rip 
You've seen the Lord of the Rings, but you've never seen it like this. It's a 50 second re-edited version of the Fellowship with a little toilet humor added in for good measure. You'd never believe how bad it can be when a wizard has gas.

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is... more cowbell! 
You might remember a little SNL skit called Debbie Downer. Well, here's the next installment in funny ass SNL skits. Sure, it's older than that one, but it cracks my ass up. It has Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken in it, so sit back, grab a cowbell, and enjoy SNL: Behind the Music.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - The Adventure Game 
This game rocks! It's a text adventure, much like Zork! or one fo those types of games, but it's been updated with a few graphics and put up on the Web for all of us to play. It was originally created in 1984 from a collaboration between Douglas Adams and Steve Meretzky of Infocom. In it's prime it was one of the best selling video games, selling more than 350,000 copies. But now it's free and you should play it. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is awesome. But be warned, it's extremely difficult, save often, and you might need a few hints along the way. I've made it about 70 turns and I'm completely stumped, but I'll figure it out sooner or later. Enjoy!

Dutch DJs tear it up 
I've never heard of them before, but apparently, C-Mon and Kypski are grade school friends from the Netherlands who turned out to be pretty good DJs. You can check out a split screen video of one of them scratching four different records called clocktaves. Or, if that's not your thing, there is an awesome video for one of their songs called Shitty Bum. It's a really good video and safe for the office except for a 30 second mock commercial for "Shitty Bum: the only gum made from real shit." For more info check out their website.

Escape From Detention 
Here's a quick little game about three kids who get put in detention and forgotten about on the last day of school. It's a fun little point-and-click game and worth 15 minutes of your time if you're looking for something to do. So give Escape From Detention a shot and slack off for a little while.

Craziest is worth 311 points in Scrabble 
How do I know this? I just watched CRAZIEST: A Short Story by Liz Dubelman. It's an 8 minute flash story that is really cool. And it will definitely tell you more than you had ever thought to learn about Scrabble. I don't want to give too much away, but watch it and tell me what you think. If you like it, then you can check out other VidLit stories.

It's Pong! For real! 
Just when you thought that the human ingenuity had reached it's pinnacle, you see something that totally blows your mind. Take for example, Mechanical Pong. It's not a video game, it's a machine that emulates pong... I don't know what else to say. Does the world need this? Is this 50 years behind it's time? Is there any purpose for it? Who knows. The important thing is that it exists and it wants you to watch the video.
