    First came the wheel, then the ox cart, then the bicycle, then the automobile. Now, thanks the visionary mind of a monkey named Donkey and a passel of YouTube celebrities, we present the future of transportation.

    There's an idea of parody, a kind of abstraction at play here, but we can't see it. Maybe there is no real parody, only a joke, something illusory? Maybe you can even sense our humors are probably comparable? Oh, no? Okay then.

    We're not entirely sure, but Freddie Wong's alleyway may be the most interesting, exciting, and down-right dangerous place on planet Earth. The intrepid YouTube star been Crossfired to death and rolled up by a Katamari along the same narrow stretch of road, and now the asphalt backlot has become a testing ground for the future of motion control gaming. If the holographic baddies in the Wong's concept video look familiar, they should; Insomniac actually halted production of Resistance 3 for an entire day in order to animate custom Chimera soldiers for the production. Wong claims that the majority of the technology required to build a motion gaming rig like this already exists, albeit in not-quite-so-advanced forms. Much like the angular, massively-wheeled concept cars we have all over our walls oogled as children, Wong's video gives us a glimpse into a future just barely more awesome than the one we'll actually get. [Thanks, Ashitaka!]

    YouTube sensation Freddie Wong's gun-filled videos have referenced FPS games in the past, but none have been quite so on the nose as "Future First Person Shooter." One could almost suspend their disbelief to think these are just really good graphics -- especially once the teabagging begins.

  • PSA: Portal guns are for trained professionals only

    You know, we always thought GLaDOS ran the Portal simulation just so she could discover the true value of friendship, but it may really have been in the name of public service. In the video after the break -- created by Freddie Wong, who you probably recognize from his ridiculous (and hilarious) Guitar Hero video -- we get a glimpse at the likely ramifications of improper Portal gun training and how a few apathetic "friends" can ruin one of the most exciting experiences ever. And here, all this time, we thought GLaDOS was the bad guy! Note: For those of you who spot that weird frame at the end of the video -- yep, with all that gibberish -- don't bother to decipher it. It's apparently just another gag from Freddie and "friends." Yuk-yuk-yuk.
