A New Game From Braid Developer Jonathan Blow

A New Game From Braid Developer Jonathan Blow - I just can't contain myself. It's been like Christmas everyday around here of late. So many think outside the box things going on in the world of movies, books and games. This news is going to take a little bit of setup for some of you. (Oh alright, 92% of you.)

Portal Gun Trick Shot Brilliance

The game Portal is simply the best video game ever. Yeah, I know. Big words. Actually, check that. Portal 2 is the greatest video game of all time. Bar none. But without Portal 1 there is not Portal 2... so they are basically intertwined in my mind. But its funny that a game without a proper gun (a gun with bullets mind you) could be the best of anything.

Nintype Custom iOS Keyboard Review

With iOS 8 we are now finally allowed to add our own keyboards to our iPhones and iPads. The Android world has been jam-packed with custom third party keyboards for years now, but this is a new and big deal in the Apple universe.

Serial Podcast Spoilers

Serial Podcast Spoilers - so, here we stand. Serial is an enormous, totally groundbreaking podcast. So far there have been something like 15 million downloads of the various episodes. Which is unprecedented. And I am going out on a limb and saying that Adnan

Serial Season Two Is HAPPENING!

Which really shouldn't be much of a shocker to anyone seeing as though Serial is the single most downloaded podcast in the technology's history.

A Modern Message In a Bottle Would You Open It?

A Modern Message In a Bottle Would You Open It? So I recently decided to conduct my own modern message in a bottle experiment. I was listening to Radiolab and I was thinking about just what makes a thing great. You know. What makes someone continue listening when they wouldn't have normally? What do we find entertaining? And not only what but why? And I realized that it's the audacity of a thing. The curiosity to learn what will happen next. Right?

More Proof the Serial Podcast is Amazing

"Are you listening to Serial yet? You have to start listening to Serial. Please. It’s a podcast from the makers of This American Life, it’s been going since October, there are seven episodes to catch up on (start from the beginning, listen in order) and… I’m obsessed. I need you all to start listening so that we can form some kind of Serial support group."

But first, to really understand just how exciting Advanced Warfare is, you need to understand just how terribly disappointing COD Ghosts was on the new modern console.

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.

Intersections Lasercut Art Installation

Intersections Lasercut Art Installation - Some of the greatest stuff venturing into the art world today are being generated with the help of lasers (SHARKS WITH LASERSSSS!!!) cutting technology. The precision and the intricacy is second to none. And the results really can be revolutionary when coupled with the right visionary. Anila Quayyum Agha is one such artist with a vision all her own. Anila has taken a box that has been intricately sliced and diced, added a light bulb, and then has allowed the shadows to be her art.
