Digg shares an Unreality article on ten fan-made trailers, with their embedded YouTube videos to video game movies -- "It's pretty obvious that pretty much every movie that has ever been based on a video game has been utter crap. When the best of the genre are Silent Hill and the Resident Evil series, you know you're in trouble. Quite simply, movie producers and directors don't 'get' the games they turn into movies, and if they do, those games should have never been adapted into movies to begin with. Video game fans, it seems, have a much better idea about what the genre should be -- if it's bad arse, make it bad arse, and if it's silly, well, make it silly. After the jump, take a look at the work of said fans, and enjoy ten awesome trailers to fan-made video game movies..."

Digg shares a four pages GameRadar article, with embedded YouTube videos, on "the evolution of Japanese game commercials. 30 years of daft, brilliant and disturbingly odd television/TV/telly skits. Japan has a well-earned reputation for daft, brilliant and disturbingly odd TV game commercials, but it took a long (sometimes painful) evolution along a course signposted by geeky TV celebs in bad jumpers during the 1980s and PlayStation-sophistication in the 1990s, for that rep to be won and maintained.

Back at the end of the 1970s, Japanese gamecorps started trying to convince their public that games were not something to be afraid of; that they were a perfectly reasonable, legitimate form of entertainment, like shogi or fishing. Once the Famicom Era kicked off, those same softcos dropped their polite, civilised image and began to go berserk all over Japan's telly screens with "CMs" (as the Japanese refer to "adverts" or "commercials") that were powerful enough to rip a viewer's mind open and sew it back together within the space of 15 seconds, discreetly lodging a MUST SHOP! impulse somewhere in the frontal lobe before the skit was over.

The evolution was televised, so join us as we trace its path from 1979 to 2009..."

Hulu blocked outside of the US - makes perfect sense

See, the whole marketing campaign Hulu has in the US is based off the premise that celebrities are aliens that want to rot our brains with Hulu and them suck them out once they have achieved the right consistency.

With this in mind, it makes sense that they are starting with the USA where the brains are clearly ready and ripe for the picking... I figure once our brains have been harvested, they'll open it up to the rest of the world... I'm guessing UK is next on the list...

"Whenever an epic film franchise hits the screens, it’s almost a given that commercials on everything from socks to cheese slices will be all over the place. Star Wars was, of course, no exception. Now, despite the fact that nearly every toy ad from the films was nutty in its own right, these twenty commercials are about everything but the playthings. Take a look at the bizarre and laugh."

Put add words within each video Above where the comments are

due to the exstreem differences of topics on the main pages of the sift add words are unlikely to be for links that people want to click.

however if adds were within the clips individual page it is more likely that they will relate to the topic of a video increasing the likely hood that sum one will click them.

Click on the adverts, the ING one and the stupid space game one i believe are Google adds i think the space one pays 0.25 USD as i have it on my blog, only click it once or evil Google will be annoyed at the sift.

THIS POST WAS MADE BY GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE SIFT DOSE NOT ENDORSE THE VIEW OF THIS USER TO CLICK ADVERTS AS THAT WOULD BE AGAINST GOOGLE TERMS.

AN IDEA TO MAKE THE SIFT LOADED !

could have a rent a top video spot where basically it costs , $1USD and that makes the vid in that spot (on homepage at the top ) whatever vid you want it to be. but sum one can change it instantly for 1USD , its basically whoever last payed 1USD gets to choose what it is. you could have a vote thing with it so everyone can vote it down if they think its crap so say if it got -100 votes it would revert to previous video as a way to avoid compleaty shit clips taking up the slot for long periods of time. you would make it clear with some sort of frame that it was different from the rest of the sift.
