Here’s proof that everything is done better with 8-bit graphics and chiptunes. Witness this “Fox Retro” video created by production company PUNGA. It reimagines classic ’80s TV shows like Happy Days, Diff’rent Strokes, and The A-Team as lo-res video game graphics. They get mashed up with the likes of Pac-Man, Galaga and Donkey Kong.

Terry Border, an Indianapolis-based artist, runs the always-awesome site Bent Objects. His photos of everyday objects are about to see their second book release, and to coincide with the new book, Terry has created this animated short A Slice of Life.
It’s as delightfully twisted as the rest of his work, and makes me even more excited about his upcoming book. Be sure to check out his website, order his books, and follow him on Twitter.

Filmmaker Freddie Wong imagines the future of gaming as an alternate reality shooter with a slick heads-up display. In his clever video we see a really cool sci-fi scenario being played out. Could we all be gearing up for back-alley shoot outs in a few years? If it has to involve the poorly received PlayStation Movie, I’m guessing the answer is “no.”

If you visualized the contents of the Internet in the form of a pie chart, the two largest portions would be cat videos and discussions about Star Wars. This video intersects both subjects with cute and hilarious results.

Director Dan Trachtenberg did something I never thought would have been necessary or possible: he made me want a Portal movie. Video game movies suck, and as much as I love Portal, I never considered it Hollywood material. Then I saw Portal: No Escape.
Suddenly I realized that being held hostage by a psycho organization led by GLaDOS that just wants to use you as a guinea pig is kind of creepy, and using their own weapon against them to escape is kind of exciting.
Dan, I kind of really want you to make this into a feature.
