What Song Is This? (posted by OneManSho)
I had no idea someone could actually sing in reverse. This talented video blogger sings a song backwards while performing simple actions. Halfway through, the video moves in reverse and the song is revealed. An unbelievable video.
The Original Human TETRIS Performance by Guillaume Reymond (posted by notsonoisy)
In this video, a clever director uses stop-motion photography, an auditorium and dozens of people wearing colored shirts to recreate a game of Tetris. I’ve seen this guy’s other video game impressions (pong, pole position, space invaders) but this is the most impressive so far. The best part might be the hilarious vocal sound effects and music.
Girl Skater Abby ‘Zace’ Zsarnay airs over DJ (posted by zvideodude)
A young skateboarder hops out of an empty swimming pool and flies over a small kid. I’m not so much impressed by the jump than I am by the boy’s ability to stand there without moving with just a helmet protecting him, while a skateboarder flies just inches above his head. The best part is the slow-motion replay complete with slowed down cheers.
Lego Mindstorms Gumball Sorter (posted by bubkas22)
I remember wanting a set of Lego Mindstorms many Christmases ago (I was about eleven.) My parents caved and bought me the $200 set. I fiddled with it for an hour, got frustrated, and put it away forever. This video is a demonstration of a gadget made by someone with a lot more patience than I had. It takes a lot of skill to make a device that sorts gumballs by color. Looks like a handy tool for the colorblind.
OSU, Don’t Cry Out Loud – An LSU Tigers BCS Tribute (posted by darcagn)
Inspired by a similar a clever Florida fan made after the Gators whipped the Buckeyes last year, an LSU fan has made a sequel. This sequel, like the original, combines footage of unhappy Ohio State fans at the championship game with a cheesy ballad to hilarious effect. Enjoy!
