MY DESK IS 8-BIT

Alex Varanese has produced this awesome video. The soundtrack really brings it to life! About the work he says:

While a normal person’s response to such a question would of course be “who gives a shit?” I possess few of the qualities typically associated with normalcy and was irrevocably compelled to find out. This is the result.
