Oddly Satisfying Video Game Racing at 60fps

I am not exactly certain as to which game this is (if it is a game).

In any case, the way I understand it, this guy drove a (rendered obviously) Koenigsegg Agera around the track approximately 1000 times and recorded each one. He tried to go as fast as possible and as a result many cars were lost. He then combined them all together in this rather satisfying 60fps clip.

Or in his words:

"Rendered with highest quality in 60, 120 and 240 fps with 25x antialias and 25x DoF so i hope you like this :) (whole video is in 60 fps)Its little different from normal k-projects, its a easy trail map. I like to see the cars "spread" so i saved almost every replay that went overboard. i dont know how many cars that accually finished the map maybe 100? :DFastest time is 1:04:33 i drove with all cars showing (up to 700, then it started to bug and the cars i saved started before the other cars, so i hade to remove these..) 150 closest cars showing when i drove, so i could fill in where it needed) and i allways tried to drive fast thats why many cars went overboard, its kinda hard to see the car amongst so many.Big thanks to the koenigsegg creator sweden power ftw! :D"

Streetfighter Mike Tyson

Although I played my share of Streetfighter back in the day (probably not as much as I would have liked), I admit I didn't remember a character named Balrog, known in Japan as M. Bison, who was based on Mike Tyson (Mike Tyson... M. Bison, get it?) (but named Balrog so as not to have to pay royalties).

The M.Bison I remember is this guy, portrayed in the dreadful movie by the late Raúl Juliá (who was actually an asset to the movie).

In any case, here, Youtube user Vogey mashes up Streetfighter sound effects with footage of Mike Tyson fighting. They blend very nicely.

Leeroy Jenkins (Alright... Let's Do This!)

This is nearly ten years old, but I came across it again recently and thought I'd post it.
For many (particularly MMPORG players) it is part of internet history.

I'll let Wikipedia explain this better, since I'm not an MMPORG person myself.

"The video... features a group of World of Warcraft players discussing a detailed battle strategy for the next encounter while one of their party members, Leeroy, is away from his computer. Their risky plan is needed specifically to help Leeroy, yet is ruined when Leeroy returns and, ignorant of the strategy, immediately charges headlong into battle shouting his own name in a stylized battle cry. His companions rush to help, but Leeroy's actions ruin the meticulous plan, and all of the group members are killed."

 Here's the original video:




It fascinates me that there is someone on hand who can do a quick number crunch (aka probability of success) for the plan (and calculate it to 32,33%).

The video became a viral hit within the WoW community and beyond, and spawned various parodies and reproductions.

I particularly like the one below, which features former football player (and for more than a decade now actor) Vinnie Jones.





Oh well... at least he had chicken (or he ain't chicken) (both work).


Update! (25/4/14)

Even the US Air Force uses it when a rescue mission is required.

GTA V Is So Realistic...!

.. it's boring, according to this parody by CollegeHumor.





I hope you bring GTA V to PC, Rockstar.
You'd better bring this to PC, Rockstar.
Don't pull a Red Dead Redemption on us, Rockstar.

I believe I've made myself clear.
