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.

Remember To Get Remember Me On June 4

Capcom's Remember Me, the new game about a woman who was a memory agent, has a release date.  The game comes out for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on June 4, which also happens to be my birthday.  So, when you go out to pick the game up, you could always buy something for your good friend Jeremy as well.

Oh, and there's a new trailer or something. I guess you could check that out too, I guess.  

Star Wars Pinball: The Clone Wars Trailer

Star Wars Pinball from Zen Studios is making its way to digital stores (almost) everywhere this week.  The more I see of this game, the more I can't wait for it!  Unfortunately, it seems as though I will have to wait a bit longer, because I can only play it on Windows 8, Wii U, or the 3DS, and those are three places these tables are not being released this week (we don't even know they will ever be released on the latter two).  Until then, make sure you don't wait to try these tables out, because they are from the people who make the best digital pinball around!

Peter Parker's New Costume For Amazing Spider-Man 2

This was just posted over on ComingSoon:

Click for a much larger look

It's the first look at the new Spider-Man costume from next year's Amazing Spider-Man 2.  My first two reactions are that 1) I love the eyes, and 2) the rest of it, at least in this shot, looks like the suit from the original trilogy.  I do like this suit so far.  I hope it's a nice blending of the classic Spidey suit and the suit from the first Amazing Spider-Man.

I really enjoyed what they did with Amazing Spider-Man, and I really hope they can keep that momentum with next summer's sequel.  I guess only time will tell.

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!
