Shit Post Sunday - A new game engine with unlimited detail?

#euclideon #unlimiteddetail

Brisbane based company Euclideon have been developing a new game engine for the last year and a bit. Recently they released a short video demonstrating the power of their new way of creating environments.

It sounds like a bad sales pitch, but i believe the guy talking in the video is the guy responsible for the whole venture and he is just really proud of his work.



Plus here's an interview with the brains behind the whole thing. just ignore the interviewer, he seems retarded.


Check out their website here.

Vegetables.

#thingsthatwouldhavemademeeatmyveges #starwars

This sushi chef is handy with a knife and a carrot. His obsession with Star Wars has led him to create some of the greatest vegetable art i think you will ever see. Someone just needed to tell my mum that if she spent a few hours carving a carrot to look like Darth Vader i would have happily eaten all my vegetables every night.
Here are a few of my favourites.

You can find most of his Star Wars vege creations HERE.
You'll have to browse his blog a bit to find them all.

Wheatley.

#Wheatley #stevenmerchant

One of my favourite video game characters/villains is Steven Merchants "Wheatley" from Portal 2.
Steven lends his sardonic voice to bring to life an inanimate object. Wheatley always reminded me of this famous floating cube.

Guilty Spark/The Oracle from Halo.

Wheatley from Portal 2.

Both awesome in their own rights, But Wheatley is now real. He wins.



Ventriloquism just became that much cooler.

You can find how to construct your own Wheatley HERE.

Bert and Ernie.

#sesamestreet #BertandErnie

The web has been abuzz lately with rumors of Bert and Ernie getting married. Ever since i've been old enough to question it, Bert and Ernie have always confused me. Are they gay? are they just two friendly men who happen to like having their genitals touched by anything warm?

Finally i have an answer to my questions. Sesame Street released this statement on the subject.

“Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.”

So to sum that up, "Don't be fucking stupid, they are puppets. It's not real."

in case you still weren't sure, here's a photo of Bert and Ernie with another guys hands up their arses.

(EDIT - haynezeeboy) Of Course these wonderful arsehole penetrators were the geniuses Jim Henson (R.I.P) and Frank Oz.

Hallwaywood.

#Hallways

Something i never really thought about, but the humble Hallway is the setting for a lot of monumental moments in films. Someone has been kind enough to assemble the best ones. Enjoy.

Modern Warfare 3: Spec Ops trailer

#MW3 #COD

In case you didn't notice, Xbox uploaded this video a few hours ago.
it's just a brief look at the game that will cause you to fail that uni subject you already have a hard time getting motivated about, and will probably cause you to break up with your girlfriend......again.

Decapitated Bowling Balls

I'd go bowling more often if I could roll decapitated heads down the lane instead of just regular balls.
This was all an elaborate marketing ploy from a German horror TV channel called 13th Street.


13th STREET – Bowlingheads (Case Video) from RUOK on Vimeo.

Now whilst some people might find these bowling balls shocking, it did remind me of an old anti-aids commercial that aired here in Australia back in the late 80's. It was quite a shocking ad for it's time.



Edit TimmehB. - That reminds me of this.

THQ Brisbane to close it's doors

@THQ #THQ #nooneissafe

200 people are about to lose their jobs in an industry that didn't appear to be struggling. THQ is closing down 2 major offices, one of which is just down the road from Castle Awesome, THQ Brisbane.

The reason for this?

“With this realignment, we are narrowing our focus to high-quality owned IP with broad appeal that can be leveraged across multiple platforms, and to work with the best talent in the industry. By right-sizing our internal development capacities for our console portfolio, our five internal studios are focused on delivering high-quality games with talented teams driving the execution of those titles to market,” said Brian Farrell, President and CEO, THQ. “As we have outlined in our business strategies, we are making shifts to reduce movie-based and licensed kids’ video games in our portfolio, which underscores our strategy to move away from games that will not generate strong profits in the future.”


Money makes the world go round, so drink it down, you fucking stupid clown. Sickening.

Edit TimmehB. - The Melbourne company Blue Tongue Entertainment which was acquired by THQ in 2004, is also closing their doors this week.

10 years Later.

The best visual effects on television.

#gameofthrones #HBO

This is from BlueBolt the main visual effects house that tackled a great deal of shots from the wonder show 'Game of Thrones'. This is visual effects used properly, mostly being used to extend scenery and add scope to otherwise simple looking shots. Brilliant.

h2ouse (visual effects god) will probably get a boner from this. But....

DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN GAME OF THRONES. SPOILERS!



Edit TimmehB. - Also this. Go HERE to read an interview with the guy who created the opening titles and how he came up with his ideas and the meaning behind the title sequence.

Animated Dynamite?

@napoleononfox @adultswim #blackdynamite 

So both cult films Napoleon Dynamite and now Black Dynamite (I guess it's a cult film [too early to tell]) are now animated series with most of the original casts from each back to voice all the characters.

I like Napoleon Dynamite (2004), it was a fun quirky film that started a trend. I really think it could work as the characters already seemed like cartoon creations anyways.

Trailer below. It's out mid 2012 on Fox.



On the other hand I loved, loved, loved Black Dynamite (2009) and it's one of the funniest films I have ever seen (lots knee slapping with Matronomy, Brooksbot and Timmehb back in 2009). So naturally I'm a little more precious about an animated spinoff. ALTHOUGH! It's being produced by the animation house that brought us 'The Boondocks'. I really think they have the brought us the perfect animated stylings to suit the blaxploitation feel the film exuded.

Watch the Pilot here and here before it's taken down.

Trailer below. It's out NOW on Adult Swim.


Black Dynamite  The Animated Series Pilot Coming... by brad1491


So what do you castle peeps think? Do you think these films turned animated series will be Castle Worthy or Super Lame?

MonkeyTown LP - Super Limited/Special Edition

@modeselektor @MonkeyTown_jp #monkeytown

Modeselektor/Monkeytown records have the healthy habit of releasing super swell editions of their stuff on vinyl.

For their upcoming release they will be releasing 'Monkeytown' in a 12" sized book with concealed colour vinyls. The hard cover book will contain a collage of never before images of Modeselektor's (i suppose impressive) studio and live shows.

This is a super limited edition so if you love your Modeselektor like I do you should pounce on this before they're all gone (they'll only be making between 250-500 copies). Naturally you are also given a download code to acquire the album digitally.

BUY YOUR MUSIC!

Click here for the most bonerific version of 'Monkeytown'.

Here's a preview of the album for those who want to tease themselves silly.

 Modeselektor "Monkeytown" (MONKEYTOWN015) OUT BETWEEN SEP27-OCT04 by Modeselektor

Things that never should have seen the light of day.

#thingsthatnevershouldhaveseenthelightofday #tyrabanks #modelland

What is the world coming to when Tyra Banks writes a novel. Not just any novel, but Modelland. A Harry Potter-esque foray into the world of private (Fictional, I should add) modelling schools and impromptu modelling competitions. This was hilarious when Derek Zoolander and Hansel performed a Walk off against each other.



Not so entertaining when Tyra Banks tries to create a similar atmosphere of rivalry and passion.

Here is an exerpt from a sample chapter, You can read the whole chapter here.

"Thousands of girls stampeded to the square all at once. Heels clacked. Dresses swished. Hairdos wobbled. The T-DOD theme song boomed a pulsating beat.
There was one rule and one rule only: a girl must be walking in order to be chosen.
Other than that, there was no prearranged runway on which the girls could walk, so everyone created invisible ones wherever they were standing. Violence was not encouraged nor was it condemned, and some girls' parents insisted on adding martial arts training to their walking lessons in preparation for the big day. T-DOD Square was an every- man- for- himself or, more precisely, an every- girl- for- herself event.
Scores of girls marched down their own stretches of the square, paused, posed for the cameras (real and imaginary), and then turned around. Trains of walking girls intersected with others. One area behind Tookie was so crammed with street vendors, it bottlenecked into a slow, shuffling line. Some walkers had only enough space to take a few steps before they had to stop and turn. Tookie's heart went out to a young girl in a ruffled pink dress who seemed way below the unofficial thirteen- year-old age requirement. She marched in place as if she were on a drill team.
Riiiip. A girl stepped on the train of a walker a few feet from Tookie and tore the fabric right off the dress. Both girls fell forward into a heap. The walkers behind them stepped over their bodies and continued.
Crash. The De La Crème white and cream blow-up tent went down as two brawling girls entered it. Oof. A girl who looked as if she had never walked in heels before stumbled, breaking the tips of both stilettos. Two girls got into a fight at the end of their makeshift catwalk, rolling to the ground. "Kenya, use the Gyaku Zuki move!" her mother screamed. "Reverse- punch the hairy hag! But watch your hair, sweetie!""

As you can see, Tyra obviously has the writing talent of a monkey in a top hat. The language is often flat and flacid, the sentences rile me up and make me genuinely angry that people are going to buy this trash and possibly even laud it to their friends and families.
And the caliber of the people 'reviewing' this book on the Barnes and Noble website kinda give me an indication as to the IQ level required to read this book.

"I really recomand this book it's really good.Tyra Banks has done it yet again..
You must read this book!"

I see this as the novel equivalent of Rebecca Blacks 'Friday'. It shouldn't have been made, but now that it has, we are going to laugh at you for being so shit.

A view to a grill.
