Time Travel Short from TimTimFed

Time Travel Short from TimTimFed - a funny, tongue in cheek time travel short that is worth every minute of the seven minutes it will cost you to watch it.

New Off the Hook Game Lumino City

New Off the Hook Game Lumino City - Every now and again a new game comes out that is intriguing. And then there are the super rare exceptions when your jaw comes unhinged and then drops onto the floor because you are so blown away by a new concept. That is the case with the new game Lumino City

Time Travel Goes Awry in Double Trouble Kickstarter

Time Travel Goes Awry in Double Trouble Kickstarter - Andreas Climent and André Hedetoft are Swedish filmmakeers that created the short film “Double Trouble” to investigate the humorous fallout of a young man who suddenly is enabled with the power of time travel. Obviously there is a girl involved. And obviously this flight of fancy was funded by a Kickstarter project.

Star Wars 7 Force Awakens Fan Art

Star Wars 7 Force Awakens Fan Art - So, the teaser trailer for The Force Awakens hit the interwebs and we were given our first quick glimpse of the future beyond the explosion of the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. If you missed it, (and that basically means you were the LAST person to catch the trailer) you can see it here:

Amsterdam Tiltshift Goodness

Amsterdam is amazing. I have loved getting to know the city over the past few years. It seems like I've had several long layovers there, and vendors there to meet, as well as business partners to meet. But whatever the reason, I love strolling through the city and getting an enormous cup of pomme frites and staring at the Alice and Wonderlandian architecture. Its really quite amazing that the buildings are still standing.

Star Wars Episode VII Title Announced and We Are Dubious

So we just learned the new title for our favorite space opera saga, and it is The Force Awakens. I am somewhat ambivalent about the title, but I also know quite a lot about the plot of the movie so far. And knowing what I know, it makes sense. But that doesn't mean it's any good. I think I will ultimately have to see the movie before I pass judgement. Cut that didn't keep Twitter from going completely and stark raving over the new title.

Random Animation Whimsy

I love little animation vignettes like this one. Just beautifully rendered and hopelessly cute. Makes me want to take animation back up as a pursuit. Regardless. Enjoy. And make sure you try to save a village or two today regardless of whether they are appreciative or not.

The Tipping Point of Human CGI

The Tipping Point of Human CGI - In Australia there is a Computer Graphics Artist named Chris Jones.  He's only recently come to my attention.  But he is obviously a force to be reckoned with. Humans are hard to nail.  Our eyes register things, and our brain senses human realism that is truly difficult to duplicate.  Think back through some of the previous attempts and how we just don't take them seriously.

Tuck Me In Halloween Magic

Tuck Me In Halloween Magic - I recently did a review of a couple movies that blew my mind. Coherence being one. And The One I Love, being the other. They remind me of this little snippet of a vignette of an idea. Apparently the idea originally came from a micro-short-story idea competition on Reddit written by Juan J. Ruiz, aka justAnotherMuffledVo.

Endgame: The Calling – Three Million in Gold

Endgame: The Calling - Three Million in Gold - I have already begun searching for some of the 75 already created websites and social media profiles that have been created for the book, the puzzles and the game. I've discovered a couple. But I'm a little confused by a lack of sharing going on on the web already. Maybe I should keep them to myself?!? hahah. I mean, we are talking about 187 pounds of gold after all. Yeah. I think I'll keep them to myself. See you in the game.

Ambilight Skiing

Ambilight Skiing - enough to make one salivate... if I do say so myself.

CitizenFour – Snowden Documentary

CitizenFour - Snowden Documentary - It is clear that the U.S. Government has gone too far this time. But that is just my random opinions that don't really add up to much. What I am excited about is this documentary. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

John Oliver Civil Forfeiture and a Trucky Trailer

Since I first mentioned John Oliver's new show a few weeks ago he has made magic happen over and over and over again. He has castigated the Miss America's pageant's claim that they are the world's largest provider of women's college scholarships. Napalmed the US's policy on drones. Investigated student debt. Begged Scotland not to leave the United Kingdom. Beseeched Peru to get on the ball wrt ISIS. But none of it was as funny or revealing as this reporting on the concept of Civil Forfeiture that was originally in a story called "Stop and Seize" reported by the Washington Post.
