This looks pretty awesome, but really I'm only posting it because Valve makes the best videos.

Peter Molydeux is a goddamn genius.

Edit: He's back! Hooray! Video replaced with the new version.

Mtv has set up a site and posted all (maybe not all? But an assload of) the clips and shorts from the old Liquid Television series. Including Aeon Flux* -- not just the original shorts, but the full episodes after she got her own series.

And The Maxx! Fuckin' A!

I don't know how to express how awesome this is. Liquid Television was my show. Any of you have a show that you watched completely fucking religiously, taped every episode even if it was a rerun and you already had it on tape? For me, that was this show.

Not everything in it was good. Dog Boy, for instance, I remember being pretty stupid. But the good stuff was awesome.

I'ma go through the shorts here and see if anything else jumps out for individual links...

Brad Dharma, Psychedelic Detective
Nietzche Pops
The Street Sweeper
The Running Man
Psycho-Grams

Jesus the nostalgia is overwhelming.

*BTW, if you dig the music from Aeon Flux, the guy who did that, Drew Neumann, apparently still owns the rights to to the tunes, just not the ability to market them under the Aeon Flux name -- which is why you might not be aware of the two-volume soundtrack.

Two posts in the same day! An embarassment of riches! Well, being that I'm not just a video game nerd but also a huge Twin Peaks fan, I can't not post this.

It's an Atari 2600-style game, based on Special Agent Dale Cooper's adventures in the Black Lodge. There's a full article on it here, including download links for Mac and PC.

Now if that gum I like would just come back into style.

Via Touch Arcade comes this trailer for an awesome-looking game, even more so when you consider the platform: iPhone. Yep, this is an iOS game, same engine as used for Infinity Blade, I guess. Pretty sweet! Comes out in a month or so.

Crovax told me to post this. I don't... I... what? Here.

He made a primitive version of Minecraft. In Minecraft.

This is pretty good. Reminds me of Yugioh: The Abridged Series, or Sealab 2021. This is the second episode -- the first one is okay but not as good as this one. Hopefully they keep going.

"Billy Bitchcakes" is a pretty great name.

Via Metafilter comes this awesome little documentary about a man, whose hobby for the past four decades+ has been painting an increasingly-elaborate map of an imaginary city and its environs. The best part is that he uses a deck of cards to procedurally determine which parts of the map get redrawn, transformed, updated, destroyed, and rebuilt from day to day, and so this fictional world has been evolved over the years, with careful historical archives kept. Effin' brilliant.

Here's Jerry's website.

Someone named Dan Trachtenberg made a short Portal movie. It's pretty great! You should probably click through and watch it HD and fullscreen, but here it is smallified anyway.
