Vidcast and Forum for the Otaku of every kind.

This is about a month old, but it’s and episode of Robert Llewellyn’s youtube blog where he mentions something
about a new Red Dwarf “something”, it also has Leo Laporte in it.

Further investigation detals that it is supposedly two new episodes of Red Dwarf, followed by two other specials.
The shows will broadcast sometime in 2009 and, if successful, could pave the way for further Red Dwarf  TV projects.
Thanks to movie and broadcaster wrangles, Grant Naylor haven’t been in a position to produce new Red Dwarf
since Series VIII went out to audiences of over eight million in 1999.
This exciting development suggests a new and shiny future for everyone’s favourite sci-fi comedy.
I will now resume screaming like a little school-girl.

Just posting probably the most popular subject durring the panel at the Animethon, Ask A Ninja, here’s the link where I got it from…

I can’t believe I missed this on April fools, (I also can’t believe I actually thought this was real for a sec there). Either way, I thought this was worth a lol so enjoy.

This movie is fucking ridiculous…. seriously, WTF?

Although the next vid I’m gonna post is at least just as ridiculous.

I know it’s an old vid, but it’s one of the several vids I showed at the panel that everyone seemed to enjoy, and since it’s not on the site yet… well, here ya go!

Vid ripped in iPod format from here

Jared showed me this video a few days before the Animethon and since it was pretty funny, I figured I’d share it with you all.

CollegeHumorTV looks into the lives of the Street Fighter combatants, 10 years later…

OK While looking up the artist that did this odd, yet catchy song from last week, I discovered something…
IT WAS A ROBOT!!! The voice actress Hatsune Miku is nothing more than a AI designed by Yamaha’s synth lab. Wow! The reality of there being a Sharron Apple type Artificial Voice actress is here… To bad Miku kinda sounds like crap. BUT This is mealy the beginning. 5 years from now and we won’t be able to tell the difference. So… does this mean Japanese Techno will get better or worse???
OMG S.R.W. game music will DEFINITELY get worse!

Here’s a few vids I sorted through that didn’t completely suck…
vid 1 the source of the vid above
vid 2 the song on the dancing MP3 player
vid 3 lol totoro

One night a few weeks ago I started a random conversations with a few guys in a Humpty’s over a Crane Game there and how to actually win something on it (I used info from an ep of Systm), then we started talking about Anime and then YouTube, and eventually this vid came up. Since it made me ROTFL I figured I’d share it with all of you.

Vid ripped from here

Yeah I know it’s been three months since it was released and that’s like years in Internet time, but I still have a bunch of friends that haven’t seen this yet, so here you go.

Vid D’led from here

Walking by the sony store I noticed that the Rolly is now availible in Canada. I figured I’d share what this thing is to my fellow Canadians, it’s basically a Haro-like Robot that dances to MP3s. Too bad the price for this sucker is $399.99; else I might actully of bought the sucker. Still though, for $400 it’s not that bad, If I was a robotics enthusiast I would probably consider this quite a bargin.

I got these videos from Youtube, and as always there IPod compatible.

OK apparently some sites and forums have credited me for making this vid. I would just like to say that no I did not make this vid. (frankly I wish I was that good at drawing) I got it from Youtube and thought I should back it up to my site in case youtube decides to delete it for some unknown reason (which they did) above is the youtube version which is where I ripped this from.

Robot Football (not soccer) I came across this and thought it’d be a cool thing to post.
It’s kinda like Battlebots but for Football. I’ve allready seen the soccer version of this but this but I still find this stuff cool.

On Wednesday, 1360 Belgian students inserted Mentos into Diet Coke bottles in Ladeuzeplein Square, breaking what must be one of the world’s coolest and strangest records.

Two videos below are HQ rips from youtube. (IPod Friendly)

Woot the new version out, and with it are a few cool features., most importantly the Gnome Virtual File System and the NTFS extension for the boot loader.
What does this mean you ask. well…

1. The GVFS makes using windows file shares just as easy as it is in windows.

2. the new bootloader allows you to boot linux FROM YOUR WINDOWS DRIVE WITHOUT HAVING TO REFORMAT OR PARTITION A THING!!!!
It saves all of ubuntu to a few files on your c: drive. Fucking Hard Drive Emulation!!

Here are a few more vids I pulled from YouTube..
(once again you need the latest version of Flash for these)

this one shows how you can take advantage of the VM optimizations to do some neat things like run windows seamlessly in linux.


and these are just cool effects

Ok, I know I said it’d be done by now. Shit at work came up and life, n… OK OK well mostly it was Sword of the New World the free MMORPG I was playing. Anyway, here’s a little video I found on youtube that I found that I just thought you’d enjoy.
