Was stumbling around, and found the Machinima 2005 competition, and a link to Dance, Voldo, Dance
The choreographed moves in this recording are all actual game play; no programming was done. “Soul Calibur” is a game in which two combatants battle to the death using their weapons of choice. It’s common in this style of fighting game for each character to have multiple costumes, and this is why there are two equally freaky Voldos dancing with each other. Over a week’s worth of full-time training and performance went into this production, which sparked more than one comment of “you need a job” (a phrase I’m not all that unused to hearing).
Also, Rogers channel 29 (which should be MuchMusic) is currently the Home & Garden Network (HGTV). Arwen figures someone quit, and flipped a dip switch on a controller somewhere before walking out the door. Been like that for an hour at least.
Ooh, and pictures from the 31st (click Rip’s pic for the gallery):

So I was bombing around this morning before setting up a laptop for a presentation, and found out about Windows Live.
I went there to check it out, and a slightly mangled site came up, with a little “Firefox not currently supported…” message.
Fair enough, I though, so I went to the same site with IE, and got this: (click to view 151KB image)
That’s right: using the browser they require, on a fully patched and supported OS, I got an error message, and by browser had to close (mshtml.dll had bombed out in iexplore, for those who are following along at home). The error’s consistent, so it’s not JUST me. It’ll probably get blamed on my Google Toolbar, since Ballmer has decided he wants to destroy Google.
Remember Firefox? Looked a little funny, but worked.
Fools.
Well, at least they aren’t charging for it (yet).
Coming soon: Office Live (you think I’m kidding, don’t you?)
