Parkour + Robots = Extremely Sweet Running

Posted by: Crazyman In: Random Stuff ()

I noticed this sweet looking Nike advertisement featuring a robot doing Parkour  on Gizmodo today.  For those unaware of what Parkour is, just picture all those action scenes in movies & computer games (Bourne Identity & Assassin’s Creed,etc)  features dudes jumping from wall to wall & across roof tops & you’ll get the picture.

Considering the current selection of shitty advertisements on Australian TV (what’s up with those food adverts featuring the old farts rapping?) we’re highly unlikely to ever see this Nike ad over here so enjoy the following clip.

Posted by: Gavin In: Podcast ()

It’s a little later than promised but I guess that’s to be expected for which we apologize.hp

This episode we’re joined by Raj and also Isabelle who you can hear doing her baby things while we cover off a whole bunch of TV, video games and a little music and movies.

Our competition was run and the grand winner was Varun. Congratulations!

Also please make sure you follow the Ride 2 The Rock where Gavan and Shaun are riding from Adelaide to Uluru for the Nelune Foundation. Check out their adventures and make sure you donate at http://www.r2tr.com.au/

Mother Lover

Posted by: Gavin In: Uncategorized ()

The Sandberg Timberlake follow up to Dick in a Box is Mother Lover and it’s Santana DVX comedy.

Apologies for the douche in the bathrobe at the start but it’s the only video I could find as NBC are pulling down the video left right and centre. Obviously NBC don’t like the idea of promoting their shows…

Enjoy.

Update: Lyrics can be found here.
