Arcade Fire 2: Arcade Harder

[Imperor]

That just absolutely destroyed me. Bravo, Chris "Don't Call Me Harvey" Milk.

 

[lazarus]

Apparently there wasn't enough Google information for my street?

Whatever.

 

[corianderstem]

My browser is apparently too sucktastic for it to work.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Wow, that's one of the cooler things I've seen lately.

 

[No spoken words]

Yeah, that was awesome.....thanks for posting.

 

[martha]

Wow. That was really cool.

 

[PhilsFan]

That's innovative as fuck.

 

[phanan]

Not enough info came up for the place where I grew up, nor where I am now, but my parent's house now showed up, so that was pretty sweet to see.

 

[corianderstem]

I'll have to try it at work tomorrow, where I've got Firefox set up.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Firefox no worky

 

[corianderstem]

Well, goddamn.

 

[phanan]

Yeah, I had to use Safari.

 

[corianderstem]

Can someone give me a summary of what it does? Shows you your childhood home? Because I was just there this summer and know what it looks like.

 

[Jive Turkey]

It's like a multiwindow video show with a dude running, birds flying, images of your childhood neighbourhood, and some interactive stuff involving all of that. its cooler than i just made it sound

 

[martha]

It makes a really cool multi-window movie with your old house in it. It made me all nostalgic. And I dislike Omaha with great intensity.

 

[Jive Turkey]

made me all nostalgic too. afterward, i google mapped my old place and did a street view to see what it looked like. made me a sad panda

 

[cobl04]

that was pretty fucking cool.

until Dad came in and said "what's this crap song playing. stop flicking around with the pictures i want to see our street. stop moving it." fuck off

 

[Jive Turkey]

Friggin' Mr Cobbler

 

[PhilsFan]

It didn't have an address for my old home apparently, because it just showed downtown in my old hometown.

 

[u2popmofo]

It kept showing me the wrong houses on my street. Regardless, cool stuff.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

That was fairly nifty

 

[BoMac]

It showed me my old house and neighbourhood, which I hadn't seen in years, plus the house where I moved to when I was 16. Amazing stuff.

 

[lazarus]

I wonder if Dalton's video looked like this:

The Wigwam Fire -- We Used to Trade

 

[LMP]

Wow, that was amazing. Not to take away from this, but I was more impressed by the on-the-fly mixing for the "Black Mirror" video.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Have you guys seen this? pretty damn cool

The Wilderness Downtown

this is so badass.. i love it.. I saw them tweet this the other day but I didn't click on the link until last night.. Of course I love the song too.

 

[Dalton]

Hardy har. I actually typed in the address and it came back with a picture of a blanket and a bottle of whiskey with a button saying "Click here to accept". The moment I clicked the button, my screen went black red with the caption "There's a virus destroying your computer" blinking on it.

I should have known.

 

[lazarus]

Check back in another month and it will tell you your address has been changed to somewhere in a different state.

Rinse and repeat, kimo.

 

[Imperor]

Fuckin' Sooners, man.

 

[bono_212]

Have you guys seen this? pretty damn cool

The Wilderness Downtown

Forgot about that, thanks for the reminder. Downloading Chrome now because I want to make sure it works, but I'm pretty excited to see this, especially given the fact that I found out yesterday that the house I was "born" in was torn down a few weeks ago .

 

[BoMac]

Got an e-mail that my tickets for the Calgary show have been dispatched and I'm currently (obsessively) tracking it online. They're almost here and I should get them tomorrow!

I really can't wait for this concert.
