[Harrison]

Kin over at Amibay posted a link to the following video, and it is pure gold.

ATI Fanboi's unite!

Is this a spoof? Or a documentary?

[Buleste]

There are quiet a few GTX 480 clips like these

That is one helluva noisy beast.

Nothing beats the Nazi's being humiliated though!

I've seen the same clip used for something else with different subtitles just can't remember what. Tell you what though it would be fun if on the frying egg clip they disconnected the fan and tried it.

[Harrison]

Yes, I was very disappointed when the egg failed to cook.

They were running the test in an open system though, so it wasn't reflecting real world running conditions. I've heard the 480 gets to over 90 degrees and above when gaming, and that would surely cook the egg.

It's been used for loads of things, including being banned from xbox live, somehing about reality TV, facebook changing their layout and so on.

Apparently the producers of the film (it's called Downfall) have started trying to crack down on these spoofs, as there are now just too many of them - and there are loads that just aren't funny.

Or "Der Untergang" in its original title.

I've not seen the original film yet, but really want to, as anything giving a perspective of WWII from the German side interests me. I thought the recent Valkyrie was very good.

Tie that man to a post and shoot him.

Any film with a short scientologist in is going to be crap and about as historically accurate as U571.

[Harrison]

I don't mind if it is historically accurate. I just enjoy seeing films from the opposite perspective of WWII.

And personally I've enjoyed most films featuring short scientologists!

Yeah I thought Valkyrie was alright. Glad I didn't see it at the cinema. Lady T hated it though.

It was pretty slow paced. But sometimes (shock! horror!) I quite enjoy something that isn't just guns and robots and splosions and space monsters and zombies and ninja.
