Awesome Mario Paint Composer rendition of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky"

Through the miracle of open source software you can now compose your own 8-bit masterpiece.  By using Mario Paint Composer this fan was able to create a pretty accurate (well, as accurate as 8-bits can be) rendition of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."   If you're feeling up to it, you too can release your own inner Mozart by going to www.unfungames.com/mariopaint in order to download Mario Paint Composer and give it a try.  Have fun!

SDCC 2013 Cosplay Music Video

Qualifying as one of the best cosplayers at San Diego Comic-Con basically means you are one of the best cosplayers in the world.  Here is a short video that shows some of the best cosplay SDCC had to offer this year 2013.

"We Are the World of Warcraft" - Jimmy Fallon

This video made me have a newfound respect for Jimmy Fallon (and humanity).  I now wonder who is geekier - Conan O'Brien or Jimmy Fallon.   What do you think?

Catelyn Stark in "Trouble" - Taylor Swift remix

This video remix of Taylor Swift's "I knew you were trouble" and Game of Thrones' Red Wedding is disturbing and hilarious at the same time.  I actually felt guilty for laughing out loud.  I hope you enjoy too.

Astronaut performs David Bowie's "Space Oddity" in space

You don't see this every day... an astronaut performing  David Bowie's "Space Oddity" in space.  The song, performed by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, is very well done and took several months to make.  Apparently, even Bowie liked it.  The music video was made with his permission.  Plus, Bowie even retweeted the video after it was posted online on Sunday.

Awesome acoustic cover of Power Rangers by GuitarGamer

Talented people surprise me all the time.... like GuitarGamer's amazing purely acoustic cover of the Power Rangers theme song.  This guy has a lot of other great covers posted on Youtube so make sure you check him out.

Hipster Disney Princess musical

Let's face it... any video that makes fun of hipsters is going to be funny.  This particular one gets extra nerd cred for having their singers dress up as Disney Princess characters.  Enjoy!

Game of Thrones Theme Cello Cover

There are a lot of Game of Thrones covers out there, but this one is one of the best.  Plus, they get extra cool points because the background looks like the Drinking Skeever from Skyrim.  I'm looking forward to hearing more from this very talented ensemble.

Link can rap: Legend of Zelda Rap

It looks like nerdcore rap finally found the Legend of Zelda.  Check out this funny rap video based one of our favorite video games of all time.  From the L to the I to the N to the mothereffing K.

Don't 'eff' with Huey Lewis - American Psycho parody

Huey Lewis and Weird Al do an awesome job at parodying this amusing murder scene from American Psycho.  Favorite line: "Hey, Al!  Try parodying one of my songs now, you stupid bastard."

Gaming Ain't No Game (sorry about the double negative).

Gaming is serious business. Nothing gets my heart racing more than when I am slaughtering Zerglings and fighting for my life against necromorphs. I like to think that these games are really part of my preparation for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.

Mario Bros. vs Wright Bros. : Epic Rap Battle

I've always got my sister's back. If anybody messed with her it would be on like Donkey Kong. Apparently Luigi and Mario feel the same. Here is an Epic Rap Battle throw down between the Mario Brothers and the Wright brothers.

Write like the wind George R.R. Martin! Write like the wind!

Good things come those who wait but I really hate having to wait years for the next book in a series. Here is a comical song about the plight of fans who wish George would hurry up and deliver the goods.

Gandalf vs. Dumbledore: Wizard's Rap Battle

Who hasn't wondered what would happen if Gandalf and Dumbledore had a Wizard's Duel? The only possible thing better than a Wizard's duel is a Wizard's Rap Battle. I don't think anybody could dispute Gandalf and Dumbledore's mad street cred after this epic battle....oh, and after they helped destroy the forces of evil.
