"Nacho Picasso - I'm a Greek God" (Watch on YouTube)

works best if you turn your laptop upside-down.


i must be in a strange frame of mind. the ending made me tear up a little.

I missed some of the less culturally iconic ones, but that was completely awesome. (You know, I teared up a little at the end too. Might have been the power of suggestion.)

it's:

tetris (nes - tetris blocks descending)
mortal kombat (multi-platform - spells MK and then the dragon logo)
pokemon (nes - i love that the pokeballs open up and two people come out and fight each other!)
legend of zelda (nes - the sword and the triforce)
super mario brothers (nes - jumping and hitting blocks, then something from the snes game i never played, then back to the nes for the water level, the warning music, and then jumping on the flag at the end of a level outside the castle)

i love the nes music for tetris. it's so excellent.

i'm going to have to watch this again with brandon; neither of us got the mortal combat part.

also when they form the MK you can, if you listen, hear them all yelling "mortal kombat!"
