Posted Aug 17, 2011 - 10:57 am

With new cameras like the GoPro getting better video quality, we're starting to see videos that offer a different point-of-view than before, or at least in better quality. Such is the case in this video, where we get to see what it's like for a two-year-old as they go to the park/playground for a visit.
Video Game Characters Come to Life in Sony Ad

Posted Oct 05, 2011 - 04:30 pm

I normally don't talk about commercials in this space, but I'll make an exception for this Sony PlayStation ad, which is brilliant.

Video games your dad could win

Posted Nov 28, 2012 - 04:09 pm

Video gold: Cat sings Star Wars theme

Posted Sep 29, 2012 - 07:27 am

I don't normally post over the weekend, but in this case I'll make a huge exception. Why? Because here's a cat singing the Star Wars theme. Sure, it's been edited and doctored, but again - a cat is "singing" the Star Wars theme.

It's interesting that in light of yesterday's SOPA/PIPA protests, a video like the one below would likely never be created, or allowed on YouTube in fear of the site getting shut down.
Video tour of Sony's PS Vita handheld gamer

Posted Dec 12, 2011 - 10:01 pm

I'm a loyal owner of the PlayStation Portable unit, but the lack of good/new games on it make it a "once-in-a-while," if I remember that I have it gaming system, unlike my iPhone or iPad. The next iteration of the portable gaming system from Sony will come out in 2012, the PS Vita.
