Woot for random facts!

In reply to this comment by Bullard:
The singers sound alike because Ben Gibbard is the singer for both death cab and the Postal Service. Such Great Heights is covered by Iron and Wine on the garden state soundtrack, which is why this one sounds different.

>> ^phelixian:
That Rubik's Cube can solve itself better then I can. Plus it looks vintage so is therefore cool.


Lol!

Yeah they do, which is why I like both bands. I knew for sure on this one since it's the song that got me into Postal Service in the first place.

In reply to this comment by thinker247:
That sounds like Death Cab for Cutie, not Postal Service. Wow, those singers sound alike.

Great video!

These ones can be removed from your Dead playlist:

I'll work through the rest later. Thanks for your work.

Charlie (candy mountain) and Evolution of dance are both in my list.

EDD,I saw the cubes but since nothing was actually being done with them, its hard to attribute it to any meme. In my mind, the most coolest thing ive seen done with rubiks cubes in the past years, are the amature made cube solvers made with webcams and basic robotics. As for the light sabers, the 2 nerd duelist are ryan vs dorkman. They made 2 videos consisting of light saber duals, reproducing some high level special effects like terrain impacts and sparks. Its possible to attribute the light saber effect on lot of other things in the videos due to the gauntlet of HOW TO videos on making your own light saber effects in movies.

Eric, nice catch. Never seen the video till now, but the mouse placement and the overexposure glow from the window as well as overall color is dead on.

uhohzombies, nice catch, although I didn't notice nearly as many memes in there. Its possible they are from different circles. Weezers is pretty much a years worth of 4chans /flash board condensed into a video. And of course both BNL and weezers song itself sucks.. so yea.. their trying tp ride hype trains that are not their own.

From Thylan

Well, mycroft's answer didn't entirely satisfy me, but as I told him, I don't have the technical knowledge to challenge any further. So I shut up then - usually.

The story with the mcdonald clown is that I banned him for self-linking, he created new accounts to harass me, then another to try self-linking again, I banned him again, and that really set him off. Through the use of proxy server and scripting, he began leaving literally thousands of obnoxious comments on my profile - about 6000 or so in the span of a few hours. At that point, it became an issue of abusing the entire site, and the community responded. http://www.videosift.com/topusers?order=new&pg=2 should give you some idea of the level of his maturity and intellect.

In reply to this comment by rembar:
I'm a bit late responding, but no, I don't know anything about it beyond Google-fu. Luckily, it seems like Mycroft covered things pretty well.

...by the way, what went down with this Aaron McDonald fella?

In reply to this comment by jonny:
Do you know anything about this?

JD, you should probably just save this one instead. http://www.videosift.com/video/Aaron-McDonald-Solves-the-Rubiks-Cube-in-Under-TWO-MINUTES

>> ^arvana:
Pshaw. They are two identical cubes.

The cubes are mirror images, identical cubes would have been more impressive, as they would require different movements with each hand. This is only incrementally more impressive then one hand cubing, which is only incrementally more impressive then standard cubing, 41+sec does not seem all that impressive.

Copied comment from Thylan on source video of parody; that shows how truly mediocre that video was.
