Missed musical rip-off/homage: 'Rise' by Pantera (E1M4).

Bonus fun fact: the main level designer for Doom 1 and Doom 2 was Sandy Petersen, the author of the classic Chaosium RPG "Call Of Chulhu" (which is a pretty big deal if you're into that sort of thing, as I was back then.)

A Cyberpunk music video that got a thumb up from God himself.

Who in their right mind, while in Hong Kong, goes to McDonald's?
At least go and try some local snake soup you pussies!

Ho my, Maddox is alive and well!

Of course, you can name a record producer who said such thing.

Do you never get tired of using the Straw Man fallacy? Or maybe you don't know what it is and can't tell the difference between what liberals actually say and what you fantasize they would say?

Yes, but if even John Carmack admitted that programming a VCR was too complicated for him, we might as well consider that this kind of feature was not available to the layman. :-)

I for one gladly endorse anything that would fuck Sony over.

Probably because this is a *Commercial.

On a funny-but-not-haha-funny note, this race had enough accidents and casualties that there is a Wikipedia page dedicated to this topic:
List of 24 Hours of Le Mans fatal accidents.

Back on topic: this is not "the World's smallest nation". It's a micronation, i.e. it has not been recognized by any sovereign state, ever. There are fishing boats with more people and room than that, and they don't issue passports.

You'll be glad to hear that such attempts actually happened with other micronations, and multiple times.

My favourite was the tiny Pacific island of Minerva (my only grief: they didn't call it 'Aynrandia'), which libertarians with too much money built up by pouring a few boatful of sand on top of the underlying reefs.
But being libertarians, the had no taxes. Having no taxes, they had no security forces. And having no security forces, a patrol boat from Tonga arrived, reclaimed the place, and told them in no uncertain terms to fuck off. The end.

There were other attempts, none as comical, but all of them equally doomed.

That does not really add up to 20.

That being said, Czech and Hungarian do sound pretty DarthVaderish.

Badly acted and not very inspired dialogue-wise.
...But deserves an upvote for the thumbnail alone!

206? Ouch.
But my comment was more general: things I think won't make it may skyrocket (HR Giger, scary robot), while others I consider a slam dunk will stutter or tank (Black Sabbeth, Manborg).
Due to The Sift's community size, I suspect a lot of it as more to do with timing than anything else, tho.

It looks like I'm definitively tone-deaf when it comes to predicting which videos will get easily sifted. But it looks like I'm not the only one so that's a bit reassuring :-)
Thanks @lurgee and @ChaosEngine for pushing this.
