Giant Enemy Crabs: The Remix

You know, I've given more than one lifeless, stuttering corporate presentation in my life. Doubtless I will give more. And I don't think I deserve to be mocked for it mercilessly, around the clock, on the Internet. I don't think anybody deserves that. Unless it's funny. Giant enemy crabs remix! This is from Sony's 2006 E3 presentation.

I don't think any additional Sony-bashing is necessary at this point. Even my long-buried empathy reflex is starting to kick in. Honestly, I've given way worse presentations than this.

Power down from that technocomedy moment with this post-modern bliss-out reinterpretation of Mickey Mouse. It kind of hybridizes the little rodent with the prince from Katamari, and dumps him into a Coco-Roco-like landscape. Cute.

And if you've come this far, you might as well watch this really compelling anime video for Daft Punk's "Harder Better Faster Stronger." (If anybody can explain to me the underlying narrative here, I'd be grateful, though maybe that's not the point?) But don't go so far as to watch a college a capella group do a cover version.
