Although the download is painfully slow, it's from the same people who did Rockfish, which I really enjoyed.

Brutal download for a pretty uninteresting storyline. Go watch The Cat with Hands instead.

Well, mine was lighthearted and funny and not creepy and disturbing, but if you say so.

Make a cup of tea while you're downloading.

Hildegarde: Segue what?

Pretty horrific download, but worth it. So cute!

If anyone wants me, I'll be under the bed, hiding from the cat with hands.

The Cat with Hands has to be one of my favorite online videos of all time, but In the Rough was cute and funny too, just like some of their previous work.

Teams of animators worked weeks, building characters, designing scenes and tweaking effects. Lighting, shading, compositing were polished and made to look extremely realistic. Colorists were brought in, of the highest caliber and esteem, to make the scenes pop with life. The best voice talent available was paid top dollar to provide the most humorous collection of grunts and audible expressions ever assembled. And when it was all complete, the executives at Blur looked down and said, "It is good."

And then Hildegarde brought it all down, whilst scratching his ball sack.


Oh and by the way Quicktime is the shiznit when compared to that awful, awful Windows Media. At least you can tell when something takes a long time to download.

And here I thought the name "Hildegarde" was definitely coded female. Next time I'll remember to sign my name in pink.

Sort of a double.

I still lurve you though, crunchland.

Hildegarde is apparently in need of a hug. Anyone who behaves like such an asshole is really crying out for affection.

Thank you, the violence was quite enjoyable.

I knew that was going to happen. Shit. Change it to "symbolic ball sack."
