Today's franchise face-offiest game video: Bauer versus Riker

greatest. video. ever. The music tops it off.

It was wacky. There's not much else to say. Oh except that Ryu is gay.

Yes, at one point in the show 24 and one of the Star Trek-TNG movies one of the characters uses a joystick. Is this enough to build a joke around? The person who made this apparently thinks so... The rest of us are far less certain.

Do YTMNDs really count as being "videos"?

Don't get me wrong. I love YTMND (and this one, in particular, was awesome)... But is a a looping GIF accomanpied by a looping MP3 a "movie"?

Well... movie is short for motion picture. And these are a series of pictures that give the illusion of motion. So to answer your question, I don't know.

XD

If it was extended longer it would have exponentially made it more cool.

God bless YTMND.

Great idea, but too short. Almost totally amazing.

Is it sad that I can tell that they actually used mutiple versions of street fighter 2 for those edits?

Hey guys, a YTMND isn't a video, it's a picture/animated gif + sound.

I think you need to visit the site more often.

It's not a movie newbie. Jeez I'm surprised at the amount of people who see a gif on a site and think it's a video, and not just YTMND. I mean regular gifs without any sound.

Oh. my. god. Only Joystiq commenters would argue that a moving image at around 10-15fps with sound was not a video.

Do I really have to quote Wikipedia?

"Video (Latin for "I see", first person singular present, indicative of videre, "to see") is the technology of electronically capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion."

Isn't that exactly what this is? Electronically capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing of a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion?

OH. MY. GOD. Joystiq bloggers should get a purple heart for putting up with this crap.

"Joystiq bloggers should get a purple heart for putting up with this crap."

Including you, Conrad, ol' pal? :P


I never meant to bring a stupid debate to this thread by making my first post. Rather... Uh... I forgot my purpose...

So, the definitive answer is that a moving gif is a type of video. I think we just made history, gentlemen.

Need more "The Ken Song"

Conrad's already earned his blogging battle scars and associated decorations!

Conrad, no need to pull out the freaking dictionary. Everyone here knows what the difference is between a YTMND gif an f'n video is.

Joystiq stated there was a video after the link, and that's what I was expecting. I'm certain that's what veryone complaining was expecting too. Only to be disappointed to see a 10 second loop of stupid nonsense. Barely passable as funny IMO.

Hmm as long as Diena Troi was not pioliting anything during the shooting of this vid !

i like how the Ensign looks on in utter disbelief thinking she aint gonna die just because its a harmless video game but just you wait....

If you want more of "The Ken Song," you can get it from right here:

So at how many frames per second do we draw the line between an animated .gif and a video, oh wise ones?

I'll stick by gif being a type of video. Even if it is the most basic level. A gif can still can give the illusion of motion.
