They were both really awesome... although the one Eric posted will now change how I look at Halo forever :P

Anyone else try to play either in Firefox? Dead Fantasy would stop at the exact same spot everytime in the middle of the clip and switch me off to another clip. Had to do it in IE to watch the whole thing.

Both worked no prob on my Firefox. Do you have the most recent upgrades for the browser and Flash?

Browser definitely, dunno about the player. Firefox has never worked all that well with integrated WMP videos in Vista...

Oh, you're using Shitsa, that's the problem........although I've never had issues with embedded videos on my wife's laptop. But I'll check out those particular links and let you know

One should try to come up with a witty nickname that involves having more than 1 letter in the correct position of the original word (well 2 if you counted from the end...)

It's not the positioning of the letters but rather the manner in which the name is twisted that makes a good nickname. In some cases, it's relatively simple with little change, like Microshaft or Asston. In other cases, it has to be a little more change but still be close enough to the original, like Shitsa or DiFaggio. It just depends on the name and the manner of twist you wanna put on it

I think Zeus should be confined to only using M$ before more people gets hurt from his wit.

On the subject of the video itself, I am not really a fan of stuff that requires DBZ sight (i.e. the ability to see things moving faster than the eye can follow) to see what's going on. I always thought the pace for the Soul Calibur demonstration theatre is about right. If the goal of the video was a massive brawl with a crazy amount of action going on, then it's fine. If the goal is to have something that can be followed easily with the human eye, I don't think it accomplished that.

I have similar compliants for things like Advent Children, or Kingdom Heart Final Mix (Cloud vs Sephiroth). Faster is not always better especially when it becomes difficult to discern the action onscreen.

That was freakin' awesome, though it was hardly a fair fight for most of it, considering the FF girls get outnumbered in almost every scene of the film and still end up kicking major ass.

Kasumi is cheap, lol. Teleportin' and shit.
