While you wait

While progress on editing the podcast is going smoothly, I decided that I wouldn't leave you all without posts until we get the podcast on here. So, here is a link to a very awesome stop-motion video of mega man.

I think we need more of this

We definitely need more of this around.

Quite a lot of my interest in a variety of subjects was inspired by gaming and reading comic books. Quantum physics, ancient mythology, kabbala, cybernetics, nanotechnology, cloning, swords, martial arts, world history and even various styles of art and artists.

You really can chuck a lot into one package doesn't it? If you follow the link to the post over on rockpapershotgun there are links to other videos by the same author.

Nvidia Advert

Nvidia hired the mythbusters team to create a demonstration showing the superiority of its new GPU over older models, and they come up with something truly cool.

I just recently came back to Nvidia as they launched the 8xxx series and I haven't looked at ATI since. Yes, yes, no brand loyalty me :-)

I would love to see a videogame with this art style and feel. The colours are just too nice! Maybe even with the FMV to go with it. Would be cool and subversive to have a modern videgoame out with graphics like this and cutscenes involving real people again. Only Command and Conquer seems to be keeping the flag flying. Well, them and Kojima in his introductory sequence to MGS4.

But, with regards to the art style itself, it just reminded me of TRON and Rez all over again, but with a richer colour palette. Rez was the last game in recent memory to push the envelope on vector graphics and such and was all the better for it. Would be nice if more game developers were to make games with this sort of 3d pixel vibe to them. Maybe even with more muted colours. The thing that I quite like about the colour selection in this video is that you can believe that it doesn't take place in a computer world (a la Rez and TRON), but just in a strangely animated one.
