Awesome 404 Page

So yesterday, I stumbled across one of the best 404 pages I've seen in years. Behold! The Penny Arcade 404 page:

Anyway, that's all I've got. Just felt like sharing! Anybody know of any other good ones?

Oh boy.. I wasn't expecting a hipster joke.. LOL

I'm actually quite fond of the 404 Page here at PixlBit. I have a lot of fond memories of playing Portal 2 with my Wife, and I just finished the original Portal earlier this week. So I thought it was rather suiting for my circumstances!

I never thought much about 404 pages until you posted this. And then Yargz mentioned the Pixlbit 404 page and I had to go looking. Very, very, cool, sir.

Rockpapershotgun's 404 message amuses me too, but more because it's fucking random.

You are standing at the entrance to Castle Shotgun. The gates are securely locked, with an unappealing sign on the front. The sign reads “Whoops! RPS is having a bit of a wobbly. Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon!”

To the left of the gates is a large opening in the wall, which Jim is leaning into. John is perched on a small rock nearby, while Alec and Tim are standing on the other side of the gates. A pile of magazines is scattered in a corner.

You can see Jim, John, Tim, Alec and a Refresh Button here.

I love Penny Arcade! I have several of the books. So I really want to go check this out. Thanks for the heads up on that.

I have a question for you,Nick. One you can probably answer simply. What is the easiest way to add YouTube video to blogs? I was using the copy/paste method using the inbedding code and the HTML window. Worked like a charm. Now when I click on the icon in center of video (to make it larger) it turns everything gold. No matter what I try now I can't seem to get one running. Any advice?

Typically I copy the embed code from YouTube, click the HTML button and insert it that way. If I choose to mess with the dimensions, I usually do that in the HTML view as well, but I believe you can click the video and then click the little film strip button to edit it there.

I'm fairly certain that should work for you, but if it doesn't, feel free to let me know and I'll see if I can put together a quick guide on precisely how to make it work.

Thanks for the help. I'll give that a shot tomorrow.
