Here's a little video that I whipped up for Destructoid LIVE, which is a very special treat from me to you. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a 3DS and not only experience the power of 3D gaming without glasses, but capture that power on video in order to show you. 

Now, for the first time, we have video footage of the 3DS effect in action. This is easily my favorite video I've ever done.

I didn't think it was possible but you have somehow out-Aphex Twin'd Aphex Twin when it comes to music videos.

Lovely Jim.

"I guess all his earlier girlier songs wouldn't have been as good for this...or..would they?"

Purely self indulgent choice of song, as it's my favorite Rush tune.

I watched this without the sound on and halfway through I thought I was actually high on crack and entering into the nine circles of hell.

This ended much better than I was expected. I was half afraid Jim was going to demonstrate the power of the 3DS by recreating the Owen Hart simulator.

I don't trust anyone wearing a sports coat during summertime activities. The Cartman glasses on Mr. Numa Numa doesn't enforce trustworthiness either.

Otherwise, this is an extreme case of snarky buzzkill hidden under the guise of internet humor.

I hope Nintendo doesn't read this site.

Also, I still can't see the video.
