Her Story Game Interview With Sam Barlow

Right now I can't think of another game with a more innovative play technique happening. Within was interesting as an experiment.  Maybe The Witness will return us to our Myst roots too?  But those are all recognizable as "games".  Navigate the world.  Investigate your environment.  Solve problems.  Move to the next area, repeat.  But Her Story is completely different.

Short Film Find Isolated

We think it's all about the story. We honed it until we thought it was good enough. Then we figured out how to make it, and cgi was the shortest path.

The greatest thing I saw today

This is by far the greatest thing I've seen today. And it helps that this situation didn't get completely out of hand - just totally out of hand. So with that, I'm out to find a Heineken with my name on it. And hopefully if your day is going poorly, at least you can say that your Benz didn't catch on fire and tear through a neighborhood with firemen chasing it down the street. So there's that.

Why We Absolutely Love The Idea of Apocalypse

There's something about the grand open vistas of an apocalypse. What an opening line. Reminds me of, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." But what is it about the crazy open worlds of a post apocalypse, or a dystopian world that are so very enticing?

Greatest Sister Pwnage Ever

Greatest Sister Pwnage Ever - All hail Jillian Haker. Greatest brother pwner of all time. I love this... so much. Makes me giggle every single time. heheh.

Heather Dewey-Hagborg Art or Stolen DNA

Recently Heather Dewey-Hagborg flipped a whole lot of people out by taking random swabs of people's "dropped" DNA and converting it into busts and displaying them in an art gallery. The show was entitled "Stranger Visions". Specifically the samples she was "finding" were from people in and around New York City, but they could have been from anywhere.

Watch Black Mirror Now

Each episode is a social jab, and a very loud and in your face commentary as life as we know it today. Hackers steal brain storage drives. Political Mutually Assured Distruction flaunts itself as Performance Nihilism. Voyeurism becomes rallying cries becomes voyeurism again. Its truly one of the most cleverly written shows I've ever encountered.

Fishing For Piranhas, Single Craziest Stunt Ever

Fishing For Piranhas, Single Craziest Stunt Ever - Everything about this cute little video COMPLETELY FREAKS ME OUT. It's the little things, like the fact that the woman is standing on a plank, over the water, in FLIP-FLOPS for all that's good and holy. This is beyond wrong.

Facebook A-Reel Competition Uncovered

I left Facebook a long long time ago. Alright, granted, I do have an F-book account... with one friend (my lovely wife.) but that's different. Regardless, this video is a lot of the reason as to why I plan to not use F-book ever and to not wander back to the voyeuristicness of that crazy world.

All Country Really Does Sound The Same

All Country Really Does Sound The Same - I really don't have much to say here besides... I TOTALLY KNEW IT. Finally, someone has given us incontrovertible evidence proving that all Country music songs sound exactly the same. This video is an awesome mashup of six "different" songs. Amazing really. I'm done here.

Short Film Find – Interview With A Time Traveler

Selfishly could you please tell me what happened on the corner of Main and 59th? My theory is that Paul's son died through some screw up of his. Maybe he had an opportunity to save his son and he didn't? Care to share any thoughts on that? Or maybe I should just contact Peter (writer for IWTT) on that front?

Friendly Oscars Pool Competition 2015

If you are interested in jumping in and watching the car crash happen with me this year, I've created a pool that everyone can join. Come one, come all!! Here is the information you need to jump in:

Art triptychs and Data Visualizations

Art triptychs and Data Visualizations - I recently stumbled upon a fellow by the name of Yousuke Ozawa that is currently doing an art show in Tokyo called Data Visualizations. He has taken famous classic works of art and taken the code and displayed it as the painting itself.

Glitter Bomb an Enemy

Glitter Bomb an Enemy I really should have been paying attention to my bosses when they were asking me important...
