Video Round-Up: January 16, 2015


"Where they're going, they won't need cheat codes."

Welcome to The Geek Art Gallery's daily Video Round-Up, in which we collect the geekiest videos from around the web each day for your enjoyment.  Why slog through page after page of kitten and baby videos to find what you're looking for on video aggregators when you can cut straight to the chase here?  Comedy sketches, countdowns, movie parodies, nerdy music, science in action, and supercuts - we've got it all!




"VOTE for Dave or Mark by up-voting our comments below. Voting closes Weds, Jan 21 at 12pm PST! Optimus Prime, Leader of the Autobots will take on TARS, the snarkiest rectangle in the history of cinema. It’s fantastical power against scientific realism? Which Robot is better?"


"VOTE for Clint or Truly by up-voting our comments below. Voting closes Weds, Jan 21 at 12pm PST! Bishop - an android you can count on to stand between you and an attacking Xenomorph. Rosie - a robot you can count on to clean up all your messes. But which is better?"


"The chaps have been turned into LEGO for a new trailer. Stop what you’re doing and watch.

Jeremy is fast asleep, Richard has been cut in half, James has only gone and lost his hair, and The Stig’s body is missing. Suffice to say, then, just another normal day in the world of Top Gear.

In this behind-the-scenes clip, we can reveal exactly what goes on just before the boys appear on your televisual screens to present your favouritest motoring programme in the world. In a parallel LEGO Universe, that is. Yes, the chaps behind the world-renowned sticky bricks have helped us whip up an exclusive LEGO video."


"Today, it’s an acclaimed and historic animated feature that explores the nature of consciousness and the mind. So make sure to download GHOST IN THE SHELL to your brain before you die. Or go totally cyborg. Either way.

Ghost in the Shell takes place in a dystopian cyberpunk future. Major Motoko Kusanagi’s a cyborg cop tasked with defeating the “Puppet Master” a hacker who can hack the minds of his victims to carry out real crimes for him. So, y’know, pretty straightforward.

Ghost In the Shell was the first anime feature that was targeted at international audiences, and is well worth the watch simply for its artistry, combining hand-drawn cell animation with early CGI graphics. Plus, it’s imaginative, and has spawned a universe of prequels, sequels, and soon: a live-action adaptation starring Scarlett Johansson.

"You think you've got a good handle on everything there is to know about DC Comics' Justice League? Think again."


"Beam me up, Scotty! When STAR TREK's transporter takes apart Captain Picard and his team and reassemble them at their destination, are they really the same people? Dive into the philosophy of teleportation on Because Science with Kyle Hill."


"Just because a film is animated doesn't necessarily mean it's family friendly."





"The travel company Expedia conducted a poll asking fliers to name the most annoying types of airplane passengers. Jimmy was going to just read the list, but he thought it would be more interesting if the great Sir Patrick Stewart acted it out."


"A weekly show where knowledge junkies get their fix of trivia-tastic information. This week, John looks at 30 behind the scenes stories from Hollywood blockbusters."
