It's friday, another video, this week it's FLCL - a random awesome anime. Here's episode 1; I suggest picking this up on DVD. It's only 6 episodes but it's great.
 
 
 

WRV: The Pillows - Ride On Shooting Star

#The Pillows, #J-Pop, #Japanese, #Music, #Music Video, #FLCL, #WRV, #Weakly Random Video, #J-Punk
 
In keeping with the past few weeks japanesey videos, here is a favorite song of mine from a favorite band of mine, "Ride on Shooting Star" byt The Pillows. Fans of FLCL will recognize this immediately; those wondering what FLCL is should check it out; it's a great anime. Perhaps I'll see what I can find next week...

Video+J-Lyrics+BONUS FLCL ending video after the break.

WRV: Segata Sanshiro!

#WRV, #Weakly Random Video, #Segata, #Sega, #Saturn, #Video Games, #YouTube
 
Holy crap is it the weekend again already? Time for another Weakly Random Video! Last weeks Japanese game commercial reminded me of one Segata Sanshiro, the Sega of Japan mascot for the Sega Saturn. I've embedded a playlist (which I know will screw up my sites xhtml, but I'll work on that later. For now, it works). The playlist contains all 20 Segata commercials, the music video (yes, it's true), and a short little documentary about the gaming icon at the very end (worth watching, although it has all the commercials in it again).
 
 
 

WRV: Kokoro Scan

This weeks Weakly Random Video is a Japanese commercial for a Nintendo DS game which is supposed to guess your mood by the tone of your voice when you speak into the NDS' microphone. And it's the weirdest thing I've seen in a long time. Catch it after the break.
 
 
 

WRV: Minesweeper: The Movie

#Weakly Random Video, #WRV, #Minesweeper, #Procrastination, #Funny, #Humor
 
This weeks Weakly Random Video comes to us from CollegeHumor.com - I don't really ever check that site out much, but this is just too damn funny not to link them. And luckily, their video system works much like YouTube's so it was easy to embed with my own valid video code.
Anyway, you'll find the video after the break - Minesweeper The Movie.

WRV: Help Pass the Mvelope

#Google, #Gmail, #Video, #Google Video, #Viral Marketing, #WRV, #Weakly Random Video
 
I really love Google - I mean, who doesn't? They are one of the coolest, most creative companies around. They're fun and edgy and, in my opinion, not really about the bottom line dollar - I'm sure it doesn't hurt to make money, but to me Google has always seemed like the underdog that's making good on a dream.
Alright, so all cheezeball aside, todays weakly random video is a collaborate ad from Gmail users - even you can get in on the fun of showing where a Gmail 'Mvelope' travels as it's sent. Watch the neat & fun little video after the break, then hit up the source if you've got a Camera and want to get in on the action (and it's not August 13th, 2007, which is, btw, the deadline to submit).

One question though: why is the video hosted by YouTube?

WRV: Three For The Price of One

Alright so this weeks Weakly Random Video is going all over the place.
First, I just want to say I <3 Burger King, or as some refer to it, the BK Lounge. I have always loved Burger King; my usual meal is #2 at our restaurant and is the Double Whopper with cheese and a Sprite to drink (although I prefer Pepsi products over coke). I love the taste, the fries are some of my favorite (although Jack in the Box has some pretty good ones as well), and there are usually some awesome tie-ins to movies and stuff with toys. Well, this summer there is a tie-in with The Simpsons' Movie, with talking toys (15 in all!) at $1 each. I seriously do eat this up (pun intended).
Anyway, to tie-in with Burger Kings Tie-In, I'm posting the Simpsons' Movie Trailer (released today, Friday, July 27th) as this weeks WRV, along with some trailers for two movies out this Tuesday (July 31st), Hot Fuzz and 300. Enjoy after the break!
 
 
 

Weakly Random Video: Simpsons DS

#The Simpsons, #Video Games, #Nintendo DS, #NDS, #Platformer, #WRV, #Weakly Random Video
 
The Simpsons, for all it's amazing humor throughout the years, has always been one one thing in the eyes of video gamers: a much-maligned cash cow. Simpson's Hit & Run and Simpsons Road Rage were about the only Simpsons games that have done well in recent years, and those were just driving games. The Simpsons Arcade game is one of my favourite platformers, but really just because it's the Simpsons. But the slew of low-quality, extremely difficult (at least for me as a child) Simpsons games on the NES and SNES/Genesis were never very well received. Virtual Bart, Krusty's Super Fun House, and Bart Vs. The World are just a few of the titles which seemed to be average platformers with Simpsons characters haphazardly thrown about.
Hopefully, The Simpsons new DS game will change all that, and bring back some of the platforming elements of the Arcade game. Video after the break.
