I’ve been playing around with a new gaming community video content hub/service called GameVee.com. Along with the ability for users to upload and share HD game video content, GameVee has a unique utility called “Grab.” Using a top secret voodoo propietary algorithm/solution, Grab automates the process of capturing video content from games and uploads it into a tidy Flash-based video player for you to share with everyone on the web.
Right now the service only works with game replays/clips on Halo 3 file shares, but it’s still pretty damn awesome. All you need to do is put in an Xbox Live gamertag along with the title of a video clip on the person’s file share and Grab will automagically capture, convert, and upload the clip. It does take a few hours to complete a Grab request, though, as it looks like a laborious process for the black box to download, play, capture, and convert a replay. It’s hard to find fault with the results though.
Making gameplay video capturing this easy is going to take social gaming to a new level. Games like Pixeljunk Eden already have the ability to capture gameplay video and upload directly into YouTube from within the game. I know I’m going to be sharing my awesome gaming exploits with people who don’t even own a game console. It’s only going to help generate interest and awareness for games and the games industry.
Indulge me after the jump as I share with you a video of me going 19-1 in a ranked doubles match recorded shortly after the release of Halo 3 last fall.

Whew. I can rest easy knowing I will live a long life like 91 year old Ernest Borgnine.
I don’t know how I missed this earlier this week, but Fox News anchor, E.D. Hill, calling Barack and Michelle Obama doing a fist bump, a “Terrorist Fist-Jab” is definitely one of the pottiest things I’ve heard all year.
Sadly, Ms. Hill has lost her show. On the bright side, she’s coined a catchphrase that will surely linger on the interwebs for years to come.
It’s uncanny how realistic they can make video games these days.
I have no idea who Jace Hall is, but apparently he finagled a video exclusive out of 3DRealms for its legendary vaporware title, Duke Nukem Forever.
If you haven’t been following games for the past couple of decades, you may not be aware that this game has been in development for over 12 years. I remember chomping at the bit in 1997 for this sequel to the awesome Duke Nukem 3d that was supposed to go head to head with Quake 2 to determine first-person shooter title supremacy.
My reaction to the vid?
Looks alright. At this point, I don’t even know what I’m expecting anymore. As long as it has Duke’s trademark potty humor and it has a decent feel, I’ll probably be happy with it. It’s not like anyone’s expecting the equivalent of Bioshock out of this one.
Skip about 4 minutes into the video to see the gameplay footage - the first half of the video is an interview with Agent Weiss from Alias.
Update: It looks like Jace is a former VP at Warner Bros. Interactive - Read more here
HTC Touch Diamond boot video from Joshua Topolsky on Vimeo.
Just when you thought no Windows Mobile device could compare to the iPhone, leave it to HTC to come up with something awesome. The above video for the upcoming HTC Diamond’s interface looks very impressive. It looks slightly more complex than Apple’s WunderDevice, but with more user customizability due to the Windows Mobile platform, it could appeal to more advanced users.
I’ve never watched G4 TV before, but this clip of Olivia Munn kinda makes me want to start watching “Attack of the Show.”
I think I’m in love.
Although their new single Pork and Beans has been out for awhile now, Weezer has just put the finishing touches on the video for the song. It pretty much includes every internet meme over the past few years - kinda like that recent South Park episode.
I gotta say though, I was pretty impressed with the inclusion of the Gi-Joe PSAs - that definitely gives Rivers and Co. some intarweb street cred.
I’m a big proponent of movie studios releasing the first 10-15 minutes of movies for free on the web. It’s perfect for movies like Speed Racer where I’m on the fence about whether I want to see it or not. Sometimes the trailer just isn’t enough to give you a good idea of the film.
As for the movie, despite the obvious green screen/Saturday morning cartoon feel, the F-Zero-like racing sequences seem fun enough that I would watch it.
