Can’t say that we’re into boxing since we don’t ever watch it. The closest we came to boxing is that most of us are from the Nintendo generation, so we grew up with the awesome game Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!.

It’s no secret that Mike Tyson was a boxing legend, but in large part, the reason we love this video is because the editor could not have chosen better background music for such brute force than the soundtrack theme song from the movie Requiem for a Dream.

HBO Imagine is where film and gaming collide. Don’t know about you, but the trailer had the spine-tingling effect on us, making us curious to check out where HBO is going with this interactive project. First, some background straight from the source:

HBO Imagine features a unique new storytelling device that offers four different perspectives on the same scene, simultaneously. The interactive cube features two films, each 2 minutes in length and each played twice successively, on a rotating basis. Once you start unlocking clips and clues, you’ll see why this is so unique. Check it out at hboimagine.com

No two experiences are the same with HBO Imagine.

If you’re the type of person to get bored with TV shows easily, this is for you. HBO is stepping into the realm of making TV interactive with the HBO Imagine project. That’s one of the main differences between the Internet and TV to us. HBO Imagine is an innovative creation that speaks to the changes that we’ll be seeing on the face of how TV is watched and will be watched in the future. More specifically, we believe that we’re bound to see the the interactive nature of the Internet merge with the less interactive elements of TV, into a new and more engaging form of entertainment. Fire up your imaginations and let-loose with HBO Imagine!

This ain’t Trading Spaces, this is real life! Real life with real consequences. It would’ve been nice if the golfer had gotten his ass handed to him, though.

Kids these days are doing crazy stuff in their home studios. There are lots of remixes of this floating around on YouTube but this sounds like it’s one of the best.
