YouTube user bornforthis43 made this great stop-motion animation video showing scenes from classic Nintendo games, including Kirby's Adventure and Mega Man.

Owen Parsons and Andrew Bridgman have a point -- but Mario would also keep masons in business. It's like being in a construction trade in Metropolis. You're never going to run out of work.

Do you remember Lobot, Lando Calrissian's cyborg assistant in The Empire Strikes Back? He doesn't have the most glamorous of jobs in the galaxy. Geeks of Doom peeks into his daily planner so you can understand Lobot's ordeal. Here's how it starts:

6:30 a.m: Wake up, unplug head from charger.

6:45 a.m: Yoga, Tai Chi, and Rhythmic Gymnastics.

7:15 a.m: Hop in the shower and shave face, shave head, brush teeth, and buff headset.

7:45 a.m: Download Mr. Calrissian’s itinerary, new episodes of Lost, and the newest album by Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes.

7:55 a.m: Escort the hos out of Mr. Calrissian’s room and offer them the usual settlement package.

Azureus Rising is an action and science fiction short film rendered in high-grade CGI. It reminds me of the early Æon Flux animated shorts.

Eventually to return reborn as the freedom fighter known as Azureus."
