Wow the first one is quite crazy.
The second one, you haven't given a lot of attention to the forums as Cosmin already posted that link on the forums. Still, great classic.
So maybe you can discover more here : Best flash cartoon in the world

How distressing, oh well, worth repeating for people like me who can't read...

The first one is bizarre, particularly inexplicable if you don't know british celebrities, but i do think some of it is supremely clever (in a quite crazy sort of way).

Those flash cartoons are awesome though, how did I miss them???!! I was convinced I'd already checked everything on the forums about a squillion times. All envelopes very much grey... I blame Steven...

I wish I could remember how to write hyperlinks

try googling "magical trevor 3"

All the magical trevors can be found here Magical Trevor

To post a link, open with "< a", type a space, and then href=. Then close with ">" Then type in the text you want to display and close with "< / a >" (please don't actually type in the spaces between characters between quotes).

Alternatively you can just type in a web address and it will transform automatically into a link

Ooh, that's much easier. I just worked out the HTML code by looking at the page source code in Firefox

This is the best mathematical vid out there: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-6626464599825291409&q=sphere+...

Also, Xedi, what was the name of that thing to make a laptop output a TV signal? Game something :/

Adaptec GameBridge.
By the way, managed to reduce the lag even more by putting the priority to High (or Realtime but that's risky :p)
Can hardly notice the lag now, even in SSBM !

Wow, that was f**king awesome! For a more technical treatment of "turning number" look up "degree" on wikipedia or find it in Armstrong's book basic topology, it is also treated without all of the homology nonsense (although with some rather harder oriented intersection theory) in David Mond's manifolds course.

Yeah, great video huh :D I love the futuristic vibe it gives - I wonder if the makers thought that all mathematics would be taught like this in 30 years

Also Xedi, that's good news :D I'm buying one now, a bit worried that my comp won't be up to spec though, what are the specifications for smooth running?

If you haven't bought it yet, I think the best thing to do is borrow mine to see how smoothly it runs.
I don't think it'll be a problem however, running it barely uses 20% of my CPU... Even while recording it's fine (no lag) on my PC, so I would expect that normal play should be fine.

Otherwise yeah, the video is great, though a bit handwavy at times :p

Just got linked this by someone, and "yeah," I thought, "it'll be just like what some comedian did in the UK..." but it is so, so, so much worse...

Also, in other news - I have plans to solve maths. As a whole. Hahahahaha. Ahem. I need sleep...
