We’ve always liked director Toben Seymour . He makes puppets dance, he writes with light, he clones himself… He’s a good guy, that Toben.
In this video for Alphabeat, aerial shots of people spell the lyrics. Sometimes they have umbrellas, sometimes they throw paper… I like it. If you need to, mute the audio.

When it comes to cutting up footage of politicians and making them sing pop songs, nobody does it better than rx2008. This version of My Way was just released today.

Nacho Rodriguez, whose Mr. Coo series was featured before , has a Mr. Coo game out — well, it’s sort of a game, but it’s more like an interactive comic. Check it out. I love the way the frames move. It’s in Spanish, but very sparingly.

Okay, so this certainly isn’t the first time someone has made a comic out of pixel art. But a couple things set Super Oors World apart. First, is the pleasing lack of text—making this essentially a “silent” comic. Second, it’s completely Creative Commons licensed, including the sprite characters themselves, so that you can make your own comic. Oh yeah, and it’s also funny, which helps!

If steampunk is a futurized industrial age, then this is pyramind punk. Or hieroglunk. Like Stargate, but not terrible.

Shift is a black and white puzzle game with a unique game mechanic. Sometimes black is the floor and sometimes white is the floor. It all depends on your perspective. Press “shift” and everything flips.

Binärpilot is the electonic music project of Alexander Støver. Alexander hails from Norway, and makes some downright fun music. It’s fragmented, video gamey, and just a little bit silly. Even better, it’s all free, and you can download his entire discography as a torrent via the Pirate Bay.
“Goof” off of the album Defrag:

I think the backgrounds of this film are looped real-world video footage. I’m not really sure, but either way, black-and-white-and-weird is hard to pass up. Three cheers for Emiel Penders.
