Apr 17 2009Super Mario Theme Played On Laser Cutter
This is the Super Mario Bros. theme being played using the step motors of a laser cutter. It sounds just like you think it would (read: PEWLESS). Still, it's kinda cool. Not as cool as a cold one, but *glug glug glug* my God that's delicious. Now, what were we just talking about? Right, you getting me another beer. I vote yay.

Thanks to Sr. Laser Mario, who once played the Mario theme on a powerful burning laser and lost four fingers on one hand and two on the other. Still, it was beautiful, Sr. Mario.

Wow.
I must admit, that was much better than I expected.
I kind of expected it to be like that lame Honda commercial where they cut lines in the road. Ghey!

It could use more cowbell.

@9 I'm so tired of you duping people to look at your lame You-tube video.
I can honestly say I would rather be rick rolled.
I would rather watch the Rick Astley video than see your lame "everyone is a superhero" piece of garbage movie.
You even know it's so bad you have to trick people to click on your link. If you know it sucks, why are trying to make the rest of us watch it?
11. Pew³ - April 17, 2009 4:58 PM
@9 From now on, I think that everyone that is duped to click on your link, should flag your video as innapropriate. I did.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was tied to a table and a laser beam was being slowly moved into position to cut him in half. He asked the bad guy, do you expect me to talk? and the bad guy said, no, I expect you to die.

Pretty damn amazing. Usually these clips of hard drives etc doing songs only manage to produce the melody.
The fact that they programmed the laser cutter to do both the melody and harmony is really impressive, nicely done.
