Coming Soon: A Very Special Gif Set

I know things have been kind of dead around here the past few days, and I apologize.  Between HMM wiping me out this year, and stuff at work, I haven't had much free time.  Later this week, however, this will change.  I just got a wonderful little DVD set that is chock full of horrible movies.  The Mesa of Lost Women, EEGAH, Dementia 13, The Beast of Yucca Flats, and the worst movie of all time:

What better way to get back into the swing of things than making gifs from bad movies? 

Animated Gif Scrapbook 2: Gif Harder

Last week, I showcased a selection of animated gifs from an old CD that is full of them.  By full, I mean there are two hundred and forty-six gifs on it, and most of them are under 30KB.  So, the disc barely has any of the space filled.

Anyway, instead of going through and posting all of the gifs by category like I had planned, I've decided to just share my favorites from this collection.  So you won't be getting all of the cutting edge gifs from 1995, you'll just be getting the best of the best.  Or worst, if you are a sane person.  Clearly, I am not.

What sane person imagines this thing going "NOMNOMNOM"?

Before I get to the rest of the gifs, I wanted to share the system requirements for this CD.

For an IBM PC:

• 386 PC
• 4mb RAM
• SVGA graphics (256 colors with 640x480)
• CD-ROM drive
• mouse
• Windows 3.1/NT/95 or OS/2

I think my favorite thing about those specs is the fact that it lists the mouse.  And the fact that you can use OS/2.  I had forgotten about OS/2 until I saw it listed on this disc.  I never used OS/2, and the only exposure I ever had to it at all was through ads for OS/2 Warped.

Animated Gif Jackpot (56k Warning)

Last October, I managed to find an amazing site full of animated gifs.  As a person who loves the nostalgia of old GeoCities and Angelfire websites, I was in poorly animated heaven.I didn't think it could get any better.

Then I found this:

Take a minute to soak it in.  I don't know what my favorite bit is either.  I really like the Windows 3.1 compatibility, but what puts it over the top is being able to use it on OS/2 (it's a hip-hop operating system).

This magical little CD contains 246 gifs, and all of them are horribleoutstanding.  There are a number of categories, ranging from Animals, to Dividers, to Home, and Leisure.

It's either John Quincy Adams or Bilbo Baggins

Look at the quality of that!  I can not, in good conscience,  hoard these all to myself.  It's time for a pic dump.  And yes, I'm kidding about the "56k warning".  It was just a throwback to the days of yore, much like these gifs.

Up first, the Holiday category!

Animated Gifs And MIDI Files, Oh My!

Yes! Look at the beautiful Halloween-themed layout! I know it's cheesy, but that was the point. Finding the little background image and making the blog have Halloween-ish colors had the fortunate side effect of putting me in the mood for something else old and cheesy...

Yes, old school animated gifs!
