I’ve just run across a video that was actually shown to kids in their schools years ago. My best guess (based on the computers and screen contents in the video) is that it takes place in the early 90s. It’s called “Don’t Copy That Floppy”, and it explains to us some important things about piracy. [...]

Cyriak, a flash animator of his very own genre, creates amazingly unique animations from photos and bits of film. His style can’t fully be described by words, but “surreal” does a decent job. Some may find these videos a bit disturbing, just a note.

A brilliant flash animator created an excellent flash animation about a magician wildly killing people and then being overtaken by some random guy. It is absolutely hilarious, but be forewarned that it is also quite gory. I’d not heard of him, hopefully he’ll continue to be so creative. You can see the video here.

Before I even begin to cover this excellent game, let me say that it is also a Windows (and MAC) game, and was actually released for Windows first. It is categorized in this new series of Linux-compatible games because most games aren’t created to work with Linux due to the low gamer population. Without further ado..

Internet Explorer 8 Beta seems to have been released. It’s supposed to be for web developers, etc., so that they can make sure their code works well before it is mass-installed on their largest userbase. However, this also gives everyone else a ticket to check out the new version.
