Normally I don't like embedding external media into my site, but I thought with the proliferation of cool stuff floating about YouTube and Google Video these days, why the hell not?

For your viewing pleasure:

The new offering from Valve is a revolutionary game called "Portal". Instead of the traditional FPS shoot-em-up that we're all used to, Valve have redefined the way we interact with the environment to breathe some fresh air into the genre.

What would you do if you had asong, 8 treadmills and a dash of inspiration? Why, make a music video, of course! Original as it is funny.

This apparently was another one of those "Internet Phenomenons" around April or so (you know, like the Badger thing, All Your Base, etc). I can't believe I missed it (or can I?).

Clickedy on the picture to have your brain washed clean.

If you feel like you could just stick it on in the background and listen to it all day, that's okay - I feel that way too.

The tune itself is a fragment of a Finnish folk song called Ievan Polkka, sung by Loituma. Next up is a video of the folks from Loituma singing the full song (although the sound isn't very good)

Well that's all for tonight! Stay tuned for another exciting episode of Shit Chris finds on teh Internets!
