If you remember the days of the one red button joystick, cell phones as big as your head, and betamax, then this video is for you.  If everything that I just said made you scratch your head and say “huh?”, then you’re obviously not up on your history and should be ashamed of yourself.  (What are they teaching kids in schools these days?)

I just was made aware of this video thanks to Twitter.  It is probably the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen.  At least for today anyways.

The best part about this video is you’ll be a better person for having watched it. Rapping LARPers FTW!

Every geek that I know has a favorite media player.  Mac geeks swear by iTunes because they’ve been brainwashed by Steve Jobs.  Some Windows geeks love Windows Media Player because it has Windows in the name.  And let’s not forget about Real, WinAmp, or the numerous other “standards” that people use.  Despite these options, some people have and have discovered new and better ways to watch the Star Wars Holiday Special or listen to their vast MP3 collection.

I’ve mentioned before how I am able to watch various movies and TV shows at my desk while I’m working.  Because these files come from an assortment of locations, I have to deal with a large number of codecs and other hoop jumping in order to watch everything that I want.

I know that a lot of those who work on and visit this little website of ours have at some point in their lives worked tech support in some capacity.  That being said, last night a guy in one of my classes brought this video to my attention. It’s very funny because it’s very true but if you’re offended by language, then you may not want to watch it.  Also, if you work in an environment where borderline NSFW material can get you fired, you may want to wait until you get home to push that play button.
