EPIC,

i want one xD

[ImaYam @ May 22nd 2009 5:58PM]

I want the 'Virtua-Girl' one!

[Jeff @ May 22nd 2009 7:52PM]

yeah, i wonder if it comes in any flavor other than "embarrassing hipster"

that dude belongs on latfh.com :P

[hazard @ May 23rd 2009 4:36AM]

It would make a great performance piece in a public space.

[Phoenix @ May 23rd 2009 6:13AM]

I'm so glad I decided to skip through that rather than watch it end to end... >_>

[Prasand J. @ May 23rd 2009 4:28PM]

Dick in a box.

*proceeds to sing it to ImaYam*

"Deep down, don't we all think they work like this?" - Nope. Not really.. =\

[TareX @ May 22nd 2009 5:59PM]

yeah...

and the music was psychotic.

[Hawkman @ May 22nd 2009 8:27PM]

Yeah... I'd like that minute and a half of my life back, please.

Clearly, that dude couldn't fit into my computer anyway. Now, leprechauns on the other hand...

[MeowR- @ May 22nd 2009 9:00PM]

@ Hawkman

I agree with you. This is why computers were so as large as rooms 20+ years ago. They all had people inside them doing the calculations.

Guess that's why they were so expensive too.

Nilay = worst poster evarr.

Engadget comments section:
Further proof that nerds don't get Art.

[Matthew C @ May 24th 2009 3:41PM]

I agree with eric. Seriously, this was a pretty well done whort film. dont try to pic apart its flaws - it wasn't meant for that.

[electron @ May 22nd 2009 5:54PM]

HAHA... wow, funny, but lame = awesome :P :D

[TomTom2007 @ May 22nd 2009 5:55PM]

Replace that dude with a girl, then we talk!

[DaveC @ May 22nd 2009 7:13PM]

Thing is though they'd crash after you left them running for 30 minutes. =/

[paezbak @ May 22nd 2009 9:07PM]

for all you know, your credit cards been used for many online shopping transaction...be careful dude...they're dangerous...

[Steven @ May 22nd 2009 5:56PM]

That was actually quite charming.

[bjs @ May 22nd 2009 5:59PM]

Lully! Made me smile.

[john @ May 22nd 2009 6:01PM]

Well done. Very entertaining and insightful.

[heng @ May 22nd 2009 6:05PM]

is that a userinterface userinterface? funny :)

[Hitman @ May 22nd 2009 6:07PM]

That's extremely creative! I wonder if we can actually make a virtual character(just like in SIMS) actually do our work and display it on our monitors/screens. It can become the world's first speech to virtual action display interface on daily usable computing devices...

Alright! I took this way too seriously!

[dan! @ May 22nd 2009 6:09PM]

that was really...awesome

[sgt_easton @ May 22nd 2009 6:10PM]

Cool video, but the music was painful.

[Ellianth @ May 22nd 2009 6:50PM]

I agree.

[AndrewNoNumbers @ May 22nd 2009 11:33PM]

What are you talking about? Rap music is amazing.

[Dez @ May 23rd 2009 5:31PM]

i rather enjoyed the music, and downloaded some on my zunepass not but a moment ago.

[matthew @ May 22nd 2009 6:11PM]

A bit like the Microslave Oven :)

[microhatersoft @ May 22nd 2009 6:15PM]

Lol, very creative. I agree with previous comments in that 1) the music was painful, and 2) give me a girl one! :D

[Achilles @ May 22nd 2009 6:15PM]

WTF was all that nonsense?? Fail!!!!!

[Vander @ May 22nd 2009 6:44PM]

WTF was your nonsense comment?? Fail!!!!!

[BlurMagic @ May 22nd 2009 6:46PM]

WTF was your nonsense reply?? Fail!!!!!

[Kevin @ May 22nd 2009 7:11PM]

C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[alexicov @ May 22nd 2009 7:16PM]

WTF??

[Nick @ May 22nd 2009 7:49PM]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the internet.

:)

[Antiapplekid @ May 22nd 2009 6:16PM]

That was epic lol so that's why it takes so long to boot Windows

[Manoj252 @ May 22nd 2009 6:28PM]

This is exactly how OS X works, doing one thing at a time while putting on a show ;) Notice the fancy progress bars and buttons? Definitely not Windows!

[Daniel @ May 23rd 2009 1:44AM]

@Manoj252
Dude, you obviously havent gotten Windows 7 yet. Full of said fancy effects ;)

[r3loaded @ May 22nd 2009 6:19PM]

Nice concept, but boot time was quite slow, and it often hung on the progress bar. I suppose it'd be quicker waking from sleep than hibernate mode though.

[Bradford @ May 22nd 2009 7:35PM]

Oooo a bear version!

I guess if it's a cold boot you'd need a Lazarus version too.

or combine them for Lazarbear!

[Khattab @ May 22nd 2009 6:21PM]

Didn't know that "engadget" is an anagram for "Gizmodo".

[Jamma @ May 22nd 2009 6:26PM]

Great way to stop this problem- don't go on Gizmodo

[Nilay Patel @ May 22nd 2009 6:42PM]

We're not allowed to have a bit of fun on Friday afternoon? You need more smiles in your life, friend.

[ran @ May 22nd 2009 6:22PM]

Good pretty sweet.

[asinine @ May 22nd 2009 6:22PM]

damn hipsters ruining everything !

[crawdad689 @ May 22nd 2009 6:23PM]

I liked the beachball made out of a multi-colored pinwheel :-D

[Matthew @ May 22nd 2009 6:27PM]

The best bit was when he pasted the smiley face over the top of the semi-colon and bracket.

[matthew @ May 22nd 2009 6:28PM]

That was really awesome, and reminded me of the same type of filming as done in "Science of Sleep"

[ash @ May 22nd 2009 6:30PM]

I haven't seen Science of Sleep but the whole time I was thinking that it was very Michel Gondry who, unsurprisingly, directed Science of Sleep. Great little movie. I thought the music was perfect, by the way. It sounded like it could've been one of Octopus Project's more somber tunes.
