I once thought I had mono for an entire year.
It turned out I was just really bored.
...which brings me onto my next lego video:
I only saw the film once, and that was as a 12 year old. All I remember from either films is summed up in the clip above. I actually built and filmed it in about 20 minutes and thought it was funny. Then, I left it on the PC for 3 years.
Here's the original which isn't much better to be honest. My version includes 20% more awesomeness.

Forza Photosport
Forza Motorsport 2 came out on the 360 back in May and it was pretty much my number one game of the last summer. Two of the coolest features in game was the ability to design cars by pasting up to 4000 layers of different shapes on all sides of the car and also the ability to take photos and upload it to the Forza website. Here are some of my best photos and car designs :
1. My first paint job Mustang takes a trip to the city.
2. The car on the left is the only one actually going in the correct direction
3. A Spiderman design I bought in the in-game auction house (simaliar to ebay)
4. "A Smash Hit" indeed.
5. I tried making the ugliest car possible and I think I succeeded
6. This shot is pretty stylish in a 300 way.
7. I got rammed from behind which somehow turned me sideways.
Halo 3 is set to include the same kind of photo sharing feature plus movies you can watch online via a PC, and flag, then download once you sign in on the Xbox 360. I can't wait. Well, actually I can. I'm currently playing the beta demo for Call Of Duty 4 and it is the shit.

The Led Zep Reform
I know, it's old news already in internet land but in case you haven't heard, Led Zeppelin are reforming. They're coming back for a one-night only concert in memory of Ahmet Ertegun- the man who founded Atlantic Records. Read the full story on BBC. It's the biggest dream band reform after Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, The Smiths and The Pavement according to Shoutmouth.com.
Unfortunately John Bonham won't be able to join them (since he's dead, you see) so maybe his son could replace him or maybe Dave Grohl could drum? He sings their best song super-good. Anyways, here are some links in list form (it's what I do best):
-Live in Royal Albert Hall 1970: Part one/ two/ three/ four/ five/ six
-Live in New York and London: Part one/ two/ three/ four/ six
-"A to Zeppelin: The Led Zeppellin Story": Part one/ two/ three.
The full playlist of the top 25 bands that should reunite according to Shoutmouth:

It's hard typing up all these long posts with cool videos, pics and links. I need a day off.

Whose Line Is It Anyway?
One of my favourite TV shows I watched and inspired me into becoming a comedic superstar myself was Whose Line Is It Anyway?. It's one of those shows that were so good, it was cancelled. But first, to piss of viewers when it originally aired, it was scheduled too late for most of the demographic the show was aiming for. You know, the viewers with a sense of humour. Not the brain dead folk who watch Big Brother.
I found a highlight collection from my new BFF on Youtube, "whoselinevideos". He took the best moments from every episode and every series. The following clips are each roughly 9-10 minutes in length meaning there's literally hours of entertainment in the following clips:
Part 1 (S01-02)
Part 2 (S03 Ep 01-15)
Part 3 (S03 Ep 16-29)
Part 4 (S03 Ep 30-38)

Eggman! What's he doing here? Oh never mind, this time I'll get him GOOD!
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 was released on Xbox Live Arcade today and it features online co-op. While playing the game years ago on the Sega Megadrive with my brother controlling Tails, I never thought that years later, I'll play him on the same game but in different continents to each other. That is the definition of cool beans. The following is an amazing advertisement for the game:
Another worthwhile game related video is this Emmy-winning episode of South Park: "Make Love not Warcraft". It's not as hilarious as that Britney performance on the VMAs but it's much better than the shambles of a Simpsons episode with Marge addicted to a Warcraft-like game in "Marge Gamer". It's the biggest selling episode of any TV show on iTunes and on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace. Here it is, but for free:

Animation showcase: Don Hertzfeldt
As an animation enthusiast, I plan on doing a weekly feature on some ground-breaking cartoons and animation.
Don Hertzledt is the animator of the Oscar-winning "Rejected". He helped create "The Animation Show" with "Office Space" and "Beavis & Butthead" creator Mike Judge. You can buy his DVD from his website. You can be featured on the show too by submit your clips here.
I came across his work on youtube, naturally. Here are his clips from The Animation Show: "Welcome To The Show", "Intermission", "End Of The Show". The Intermission one is amazing: "It's like I can touch you!". Genius. Bonus clip: Hear him speak!
Here's his wildly inventive oscar-winning short, Rejected.
All the above cartoons are high-larious in comparison to Des Bishop. Check his interview from The Late Late Show last Friday blathering on about life in the west of Ireland.
You should hear the wacky observations he makes. He fingers cousins, or something. Either I've lost my sense of humour and don't get his "jokes" or he is as funny as roadkill.

100 days that shook the Kop
As long as I can remember, I've been a Liverpool fan. Maybe it's because my older brother forced me to, or that every Man-yoo supporter in my school class were arsewipes. Nobody in their right mind would be a Chelsea fan back then. I've always found that Liverpool are a team worth supporting.
On Liverpoolfc.tv, the offical site, fans were asked to name what they thought were the most important days in Liverpool history. The compilation had a weekly feature with downloads for each one. One of the Liverpool faithful recently uploaded almost every single one onto youtube. Some of them are download only.
