Still On Video Vacation
But if you're looking for something good n' weird (emphasis on the weird...use a two-ton block of frozen opium goo with rusty nails in it for an emphasis, if you can manage it), I highly recommend the animation work of David Firth.
Start with some Salad Fingers (episode one, two, three, four, five, and yes, even six).
Spoilsbury Toast Boy is good, too, in a Burroughs-ish sort of way.
Now: back to pixel devastation, thank'ee!

UPDATE:
Automated laser-tripped gun turrets suck ass.
Yes, yes those automated turrents suck. Both when you are lobbing grenades at them and when you are eventually attempting to use them to save yourself. Half Life 2 is a beautiful, involving game. I loved it.

"Automated laser-tripped gun turrets suck ass."
That's what the bugs are for, man.
Also, Salad Fingers gives me the jibblies.

Yeah, but I didn't have the bugs at that particular point (I'm talking about those turrets that pop up from the floor in the generator level...the tripod ones were easy; I would just grab them with the gravity gun and bash them.)
Antlions were my buddies. I liked them better than the humans that followed me around, saying "Freeman! About time. I'll stay here and eat a sandwich while you go into that room and get killed." Buncha wusses.
But now the game is done, and I am sad...
