Escape from City 17 - Part 2

#halflife #escapefromcity17 #valve

Finally after two years Escape from City 17 Part 2 is out. Like the first one this was made for $500.

Once again besides the somewhat impressive effects for the budget everything else is pretty meh. Although it is pretty cool to see the Half Life Universe realised.

Shit Post Sunday - GREAT SCOTT!!!

#DocBrown #BackToTheFuture #Garbarino

Travelling through time in a pimped out, plutonium/garbage powered DeLorean is cool, but can it travel outside the Hill Valley area of California, USA? Apparently yes.
In this viral marketing video, presumably for Garbarino, one of Argentina's largest appliance store chains - Christopher Lloyd reprises his old role as Doc Brown.




And here's some behind the scenes footage, which includes how the cheeky buggers used an old Toyota Celica as a stand in for the incredibly rare and very expencive DeLorean.

You've probably all seen Jim's message to Emma Stone by now but there are many other great videos he's posted over the years.

Shit Post Sunday - Barack Obama, America's first black President.

Apples & Lemons

#Apple #SteveJobs #Fail

In contrast to the Australian Gizmodo site posting an article recapping some of the amazing and innovative technological revolutions that Apple has unleashed upon the world whilst under the guidance of Steve Jobs in the wake of his stepping down as the companies CEO,  The American Gizmodo site has posted an article recapping some of his flops, which include....

The Apple Lisa
The 1983 personal computer with a price tag of $10,000

The iMac Puck Mouse
The sole reason PC users still think that Mac's don't have a 'right click'

The Apple TV (First Generation)
A product that frustrated consumers due to it's limited capability & compatibility so much that it spawned the D-Link Boxee & WD-Live.
(The 2nd Generation is much better, i have one)

The iPod Shuffle (Buttonless)
Fucking stupid.

Ping
That really annoying thing that the iTunes store does now. You checked it out once, then you realised it's shit and so now you just ignore it.

And last,
but without a doubt the biggest fail of them all....

Final Cut Pro X (FCPX)

The retarded child of Final Cut Pro 7 and it's useless sister iMovie.

New CounterStrike!

Lemonade - Official Video

@boysnoize @erolalkan #lemonade

Lemonade gets a video edit and a mediocre music video. Oh i saw so much better inside my head when listening to the track, mostly fluro coloured dolphins covered in glitter fighting in a boxing ring floating through rapids made of bubbling soda (i haven't thought of budget though).

We can be Cyborgs!

@eidosmontreal #deusex #humanrevolution

This is a great promo for Deus Ex - Human Revolution by showing where augmentation technology is at in the world today. Some creepy stuff.

Personally i think they've got it when I can have my penis replaced with an augmented super cock with attached grenade launder and ice-cream scooper. Time will tell.

Cha Cha Cha Cha Changes!

@starwars #digitalyoda #bluray

So Lucas will always be updating the Star Wars films This should not be a surprise anymore. I'll be surprised not to see a few changes in the upcoming 3D Phantom Menace conversion.

So the biggest change for the upcoming Blu ray release is the already discussed (they showed us on the Revenge of the Sith Extras back in 2005) changing of the crud Yoda puppet in The Phantom Menace into a CG version to match up with the other prequels. This makes sense. There's no denying that the original puppet was the most cringe worthy thing since Jake Loyd's acting ability. I welcome this change, however it still doesn't look as good as the puppet Yoda from Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi (I'm probably just too nostalgic).

They actually tested to see if they could do a digital/lightsaber welding yoda for Attack of the Clones by replacing the puppet in Phantom menace for a digital version back in the early 00's.

Have a look for yourself below.

Why didn't my parents buy me this?

#typingofthedead #thingsiwishihadasakid

How have i not heard about this game till now? and why wasn't it more widely publicized? I would definitely have played this for hours.
Typing of the Dead, A remake of House of the Dead. Except instead of guns, the characters have keyboards strapped to their chests and short phrases and words make up their ammo.
Just watch, you'll get the idea.

Crimson.

#Bungieaerospace #Steam #Crimson

Back in May Bungie, famously known for creating the Halo series on Xbox, Trademarked a title for a game called Crimson. Little else was known about the new game except that it would be downloadable and would be specifically designed for mobile devices. Well a little more has come to light now, and the game is slated to be released on iPad on September 1st and then on other mobile devices shortly after. The first 'chapter' of the game will be free, and all subsequent chapters will cost you $2. I'm pretty fucking excited to see what a major game company like Bungie can do with a mobile device, i'm particularly interested that they have teamed up with Steam. It seems like they are heading in the direction of an RTS which isn't what you would normally expect of Bungie, but they have yet to disappoint me so i will definitely be giving this a try when it comes out. You can get a look at some screen shots and other bits and pieces in this video.

Darwin Ice Hockey Club - World Champions

#Vegimite #DarwinIceHockeyClub #Darwin

I grew up in small city called Darwin. Australia's most northern capital city.
It's renowned for it's suicide-inducing heat and humidity during the tropical wet season, and it's incredible landscapes and sunsets.
But who would have thought that with the help of Vegimite, the Darwin Ice Hockey Club would become the world champions.

This is their story.

We're Sorry.

#chrisbrown #Rhianna #foxnews

Andy Levy has slightly redeemed Fox news with a tweet directed at Chris Brown. This makes me happy.

Edit TimmehB - I found a video of the whole thing. much easier to digest.
