Monkey Island, The Flash Movie
Or, Monkey Island in five minutes !
I just felt I had to celebrate and honor this awesome piece of fanart for The Secret of Monkey Island, one of the best adventuregames ever to be created. Basically its the whole game of Monkey Island 1 animated and narrated in 5 minutes. So you could say its an animated flash of a speedrun in MI1. And its beyond awesome. I laughed so hard watching this for the first time I could hardly sit on my chair and now I watch it at least once a day. Its made by Majus Arts. A German guy who likes to do stuff like this and the version I´m going to link to is the English version of it since its originally German. If you grew up with PC adventure games like I did you will find this extremely funny. If you did not play through Monkey Island once a week growing up like I did its still a piece of art nobody should miss out on.

The Angry Video Game Nerd
For supplying us with rants on old golden games we love to hate
This man has grown on me over the year. First off he might appear to be an immature nerd whos just using foul words to describe bad games..and thats exacly how he wants to be remembered. James Rolfe is the man behind the character and hes a genious. His character "Angry Video Game Nerd" likes to take an old game (for example a NES game) and complain about it for 5-10 minutes. And its awesome. Once you´ve watched some of his videos, realized hes only playing this immature and once you start to recognize what games hes playing andthe frustration you also felt playing this games when you were younger it starts to really get funny. AVGN is pretty much a well known Internetphenomenon by now and he deserves a place on any "Best of 07" list.
