Snickers "snacklish" translator was a website dedicated to translating inserted words into "snacklish" a fictionalized version of english with various words for food or candy slapped onto other words.
The service in action:
As far as I can see, the website likely went down in early to mid 2014 or early 2015, though there is no archive past January of 2014 that still loads to the loading screen for the site's flash element, the actual translator missing, which is inaccessible without Snicker's server.
As far as had been figured out in this Reddit thread (archive), it seems that while the swf for the site exists, the actual program that provided the translations was server side, and thus lost without help from either the site's creators, likely with David Sakamoto doing much of that work. His webpage has various images of marketing for the related ad campaign, though none of the site directly.
Attempts to contact David and others involved with the project have been attempted by at least the OP of the above Reddit post, but in the OP, BonfireCow's own words - "I've contacted a few people involved with the project directly, but no response."

Not sure if this has been posted before, but found this interesting. Info starts at 15:00.
Search that's been going on mostly over on Reddit for a few years regarding a game someone was trying to remember. The player's character murders their wife at the beginning of the game, and then the rest of the game is just a farming game, with the added detail that you have to hide the evidence of the murder from cops. Multiple users have posted about it on r/tipofmyjoystick, including the original OP, with the most recent post spinning out into a saga about trying to get OP to find a way to extract the game files from a broken hard drive.
Yeah, got found over a couple years ago. Someone tried to take down the archived copies, which was pretty odd. Not sure why Henson corp would bother, especially when they themselves had it up on Youtube for so long.

Tanki Online 2.0 was a 2011 demo for an upcoming replacement for Tanki Online, that while it didn't come to fruition in that form, features of the new version were added into Tanki Online and eventually Tanki X, a non-browser game, was developed based on what Tanki 2.0 was. web.archive.org/web/20110817062354/http://alternativaplatform.com/en/demos/arena Both demos for crash and arena appear to no longer be avaliable on here, but if I remember correctly you had to log in to access them anyways, so it's unlikely they could be fully accessed this way.
I played this demo when it came out all those years ago, and was shocked at how much better it looked than tanki online.
Image on the left is what Tanki Online looked like even at the time, eventually it was changed to how it looks in the right, but even then it's a downgrade compared to the old demo. Tanki X, on the other hand, accomplishes what the demo sought out to do graphically, but is no longer in-browser.

Just judging by the style of Chad's work, it appears he could have easily been associated with VR Edmonton. Don't see it as part of his portfolio though.

web.archive.org/web/20181112072636/http://digitaldreammachine.com/ Found a potential lead! The site of a photographer who was involved in quicktime, that showed up when searching "Vr Edmonton" with a space. Haven't found edmonton in his site yet, but have been able to grab some MOVs.
Edit: The MOVs do appear to be attempts at 360 degree/panorama.
Edit 2: "Sun1.mov" appears that it could have been part of the Edmonton site.
Recruitment of participating students" mentions the site. Contains an image that appears to be unrelated. A lot of other results in search mention it too, but I'm going to end it here unless useful info can be gathered.
