I Know Where Bruce Lee Liveshttp://www.skop.com/brucelee/
Some things are forever cool: James Dean. The polar icecaps. My ex-girlfirend. No, wait, that would be frigid. Never mind. Fonzie; Fonzie is cool. And Bruce Lee. No matter what, kung-fu flicks have always been very hip (more so now then ever) and Bruce Lee is the pinnacle of chop-socky goodness. I Know Where Bruce Lee Lives allows you to get funky with the man. Billing it as an "Ultrainteractive kungfu-remixer" is not an overstatement — damn near ever key launches a one to two second sequence of effects, sounds or Bruce busting out the can o' whup ass on your gaijin booty. All letters and the upper number row are active (for those of you who prefer to utilize the numbers from the right keypad, well, sucks to be you) and a keypad mockup shows which letter/number corresponds with what move. Hit "Record" and watch what is typed over again. Extra cool is the "Overdub" function, which allows you to add extra sequences to your already recorded … movie? Video? Whack ass attempt at directing the greatest kunger to ever fu? There are four modes to choose from, each with a different music and background image. Personally, I dig the Victory setting; it has a funky, Space Ghost/Herculoids vibe going on. (Feel free to pump either of those names into your favorite search engine, then laugh at how old and lame I am). After a bit you'll figure things out and create nifty fight scenes, but until then revel in the chaos you can create. Type in song lyrics (I used the Guns n' Roses classic "Welcome To The Jungle") and watch Bruce kick, punch and scream a lot, often overlapping himself and creating a disharmony much like an actual fight. All with a groovy back beat. Dance, you shirtless bastard, dance!
