Brilliant.

Can anyone provide links to the original clips? (promote for you when I get powered up again!)

Wow, sounds like the chronosphere powering up.


Good old Red Alert!

Wow, sounds like the chronosphere powering up.

You guys have done a fantastic job with the new interface. Wonderful work!


(And xxxovercastxx, I do want to jump up and claim one of your gold stars, so that can be invincible for a few moments before falling into a pit and dying after a poorly planned jump. That power-up music went straight to my head...

...I mean, good job on the logos )

One thing: the diamonds and crowns look a bit cartoony.


Yes, I made them with giant crayons and sidewalk chalk.

I'm actually quite happy with how the crown came out. I mostly worked on these while zoomed in like 1200% and I wasn't sure it was going to be clear at normal size. I had to make a few tweaks but really I was just quite lucky to get the result I did.

All of them, but the crown in particular, remind me of power-ups out of Super Mario World or something, and that makes me smile ever so slightly.

Really, I might be able to save my laptop (at least for a couple more days)? I'm so glad VS is filled with geeks! I'll power up ol' faithful tonight and see what happens.

On a related side note. You should always backup your files at least once a month. This is to keep you from causing permanent physical damage to inanimate objects.

I'll post my results when I see it again. I just remember it said something about a hardware failure and if this was my first time seeing this message I should restart my computer.

this looks like a hacked game.
rabbit gives you magic ball w/ a hat and score multiplier.
lobster gives you pinball flippers on the sides.
you can't mix 2.
so i highly question this video for authenticity.


Rabbit gives you a spin for different power ups from all of the various masters, so it seems plausible.

Garbage. Where are the tax increase power-ups?

I noticed something while posting vids on facebook. They have a search for YouTube videos exclusively if you want to post on someone's wall. Could someone make an app for facebook that posts through the Sift? Currently I find the good videos on VideoSift, and then switch over to Facebook, then search for the video again. It would be sweet if there was a "one-click post" or something. Also, an app like the scrolling top-15 gadget or something could be cool.

The Google-Feed-scrolling-top15 gadget: When I click on it, it directs me to videosift away from my google page, instead of opening up a new tab.

Power up playlists. Make them searchable, give them metadata so I can find one on a given subject (there must be zillions). This would also prevent me making one that's already covered.

It would be so cool to have a running random playlist of videos. Like the video version of Pandora or Deezer.

he used his bullet-time power up just at the right moment too...

I went through a 2 week period where I tried to get into it. I couldn't take all the grunting, and terrible animation. Also it's really annoying when it takes 3 episodes of a character floating there "Powering Up" before they fight. It's just not good entertainment.

It's on Neatorama now too - someone provided the Greek translation:

"Nothing really important, he starts talking about the LHC powering up, he goes on talking about te proposed tax reform (yawn) and finishes with the results of the Greece vs Poland game… weather.
What is funny is what one of the blokes that actually put out the fire told him after he turned of the mic, but as is usally the case with language, it can’t be properly translated… something along the lines
“Hey, you’re on fire and you just sit there… are you in touch with reality?”"

More of the same ahead as the deconstruction of the economy picks up pace? The "Angry White Male" syndrome? I think it will probably become just "Angry Person" syndrome, as more folks face foreclosure, job loss, high gas prices, closed banks. Add a little Anger Power-ups provided by talk radio, Ann Coulter, etc., and burn, baby, burn. Or something like that.

Wtf was the pilot doing, powering up with boats in his runway ?
The asshole turned into the boat so they couldnt read his tail number, should have his liscence revoked.
