Pixel Apocalypse

Godzilla, aliens, apocalyptic natural disasters? Nope, classic 80's video games. Many have prophesied the end of the world but none have foreseen our eminent global annihilation as manifested in the form of an 8-bit wave of destruction unleashed by some Pandora-esque television set abandoned by a hipster in Brooklyn. This video shows just that, and I think it's safe to say that the children of the 80's can relate to such a vision of pixel apocalypse.

Aside from it's impressive graphics and overall creative vision, the best thing about this video is the comment left by some smarty pants on YouTube.

If the whole earth would become 1 volumetric pixel, shouldn't it be smaller? A cube with a edge length of 2*sqrt(2)*r where r is the radius of the earth?

Hmmm, interesting point 4K. I would try and wax intellectually with you about your theory but I stopped understanding math once they introduced letters. My question is how are we supposed to know what country to bomb if in fact we are attacked by pixels?

House of Imagination

Dear Syfy Channel, please allow me admittance into this house. I promise I will be nice and play by the rules. I can't promise, however, that I won't try and find Lou Diamond Phillips and challenge him to an epic game of lazer jai-alai.

The Elevator to Heaven (and Hell)

Imagine stepping into an elevator and witnessing your ascension to Heaven, or your descent to Hell–if you happen to be taking the elevator down to the street level. For those staying at the new Standard Hotel in NYC, prepare for a trip to eternity! Video artist Marco Brambilla answers the question on every mortal's mind, "what's it like?" with his video mural "Civilization," taking guests on a satirical journey to Heaven or Hell (depending on if you're going up or down). Based on Dante's Divine Comedy, the mural incorporates over 400 different video sources, several of which you'll recognize as samples from well known films. The installation is comprised of around 500 looped HD clips. Keep a sharp eye and you'll see which eternal kingdom the King of Pop himself inhabits. I knew it!
