Although it's a few years old, I hadn't seen this, and so perhaps I
wasn't alone in that:

Quicktime).

That one is so good, yes :)

There's also a version that uses old computer game graphics with the
same audio track, which is also pretty cool.

They did end up making a full movie; the link is just the trailer. I've
watched part of it, but eventually the geek-quotient got to be too much to
handle. :)

I have that movie. It's short (only about 50 minutes, I believe) but very funny and
definitely worth a watch. They're actually in the process of making a sequal now.

They've also got a video podcast with some other skits of theirs:

Just discovered it last night. I haven't actually *watched* it yet,
so I can't vouch for whether it's actually funny.
