Despite a fairly busy and somewhat inflexible layout, DailyMotion seems to have a really nice feature set. However my attempts to post through their “Post to Blog” feature rather than copy/paste the string into my own software doesn’t quite seem to be working with my installation of WordPress at the moment. Update: It actually appears [...]

Dailymotion blogged videoButterflyVideo sent by nstohlma Test from DailyMotion. Busy layout, nice features. This was posted using the "Post to Blog" feature rather than putting the embeddable string into my own posts. Handy! Tags: Video

ClipShack seems to be a pretty decent service. So far I like all of the features that I’ve seen. It’s relatively simple, decently quick, and has a nice amount of space available for uploads. Tags: Video

Update: Well, the site name isn’t the only stupid thing about that site. Embedded video windows have 2 glaring issues: Windows Media only, so it doesn’t work [...]

Michael J. Nelson from the now gone MST3K has a new gig, but doing the same old thing. RiffTrax are audio commentaries that you play on your portable media player while watching a particular movie. It’s not _quite_ an original idea, since it is basically like the commentary podcast that is put up for Battlestar [...]

The newest game on XBox Live Arcade is a hoot of a platform puzzler called Cloning Clyde. The humor can sometimes be somewhat low brow, but the creativity of the puzzles and the incredibly fun environments and puzzles made me loose track of 2 hours last night and register it essentially instantly. I can’t wait [...]
