About
- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore! Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts.
  When browsing sifts you like, have a look at the Related Posts list to see other related videos, click the tags under the video title to see more sifts tagged with the same tags or have a look at other sifts from the same user in the More Posts By list. If the sifted video is in a play list, have a look at the play list to see other interesting videos the Sift users have linked together.
  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Back in the olden days, we didn't have none of yer fancy graphics and blast processing, we had to use our imagination. We played text RPGs, and we liked em.

You can't even tell what the text is with the video resolution. This could be anything.

hahaha, thats awesome

hahahaha, great stuff! If only we could read the text

>put out fire
I'm sorry that does not work
>throw sand on fire
I'm sorry that does not work
>use bottle of water with fire
I'm sorry that does not work
>extinguish fire
Who are you, smokey the bear or something? Leave the fire alone!

Get off my lawn!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1bLBy7gQPI&fmt=18 is the High Quality version of this video, complete with readable text.

When I play on my box, I have to seek a few seconds into the video for it to start playing.

The concept is fine, but given that the posted video is completely illegible, I'm going to have to downvote.

^ Agreed - but I will hold on a vote with this link in mind.

I actually posted this as a joke, because WHO IN THIER RIGHT MIND WOULD ACTUALLY WATCH THIS WHOLE THING? C'mon system shock!?!

Ofcourse! That's the reason I upvoted it. A text-based game speedrun... i mean... lol! the fact that you can't actually read the text properly makes it even funnier imho.
