Amazing CG Face!
May 4, 2005 (4 Responses)
Saw this linked to on a forum I frequent and had to do a double take.
While yes, there is something that makes you realize this is an animated face – it is without a doubt the most realistic one I have seen to date!
There’s a full article to go along with it over at CGNetworks.com
The Uwe Bolle menace
April 22, 2005 (3 Responses)
Increasingly we (those that watch movies and play games) are being subjected to Movie/Game – Game/Movie conversions. That is to say, the Industry Moguls sat around a table discussing how to make more money and thought that making money out of Gamers couldn’t be easier. Their theory goes like this:
If a Gamer plays a game, they’ll definately want to watch the movie. Likewise if a Gamer watches a movie they’ll want to play the game.
The Jackson Conspiracy

As in any other country in the world, I can’t help but be saturated by the Michael Jackson trial. The only way I could possibly avoid it would be to live in a plastic box. Even then I’m sure they’d find ways to get to me. But today while reading CNN I discovered a plot that goes far deeper than we all thought! Indeed it includes some of the best known names in the Entertainment Business to date!
Read this article to find out more about the Entertainment Industry’s black-then-surgically-altered-to-be-white-but-now-looking-like-a-freakshow secret!
Murphy the mailman
April 13, 2005 (One Response)
The most famous of Murphy’s Laws, as everyone knows, states “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” and this most likely relates to no other service more than the Postal Services. In every country, on every content and every Planet of our existence, somewhere, there’s a mailman named Murphy. What Murphy does all day is try to make sure you never get what you’re waiting for on time and maybe occasionally he’ll manage to completely loose that highly valuable piece of mail with your address in the ‘deliver-to’ field. The stories are numerous and everyone that’s ever posted something has had such an experience at least once.
Sony’s PSP – bloody hell!
April 11, 2005 (No Responses)
I’m not one to usually praise anything console related, but I have to make an exception on this. We just got one of the new shiny Playstation Portables in. Sony’s answer and then some to Nintendo’s handheld game machines such as the GameBoy lot and lately the DualScreen (or DS). Bloody Hell is it slick! The screen is gigantic for a handheld and the quality is surreal for such a small device. Think the Grand Turismo games in your local arcade – it’s like that, or better depending on how old and defunct your local arcade is.
It fits nicely in your hands, the controls are all second nature and they’ve even stuck a tiny thumbstick on it. The screen, unlike some of Nintendo’s hardware, is clearly viewable even infront of a window. You could (and can) even comfortably watch a movie on it. Granted it’s not as small as the Nintendo DS, but what does that mean? Really that you can’t sit on it and then have to have it surgically removed from your rectum.
While I’m not going to buy it, I am intrigued…and that’s something.
The big yellow box…or the Matthew Vaughn boxset

Recently a friend of mine told me about Layer Cake (or L4yer Cake..or Layer C4ke…argh there was a four there somewhere). Well, he didn’t tell me about it as such- he merely strongly suggested I watch it.
So off I went; Bored, new paycheck in bank and ready to be raped by the evil empire of far-to-expensive entertainment media… HMV. Intent on only buying ONE DVD and ONE DVD ONLY. Intent on only buying Layer Cake. That intention shattered when I saw the big yellow box proclaiming to hold within it…

Despair of the Industry

Well, my debut article! Took me a bit, but here I am finally.
A few days ago I received an email from JoWood (or not, I’m confused to say the truth) telling me, nay, begging me to play their rather piss-poor-on-launch game Söldner: Secret Wars. For those of you unfamiliar with Söldner, its description read like the be-all end-all of tactical wargames. A vast area to play in, supporting vast amounts of players and sporting vast arrays of weapons, vast arrays of equipment and plenty of vehicles to boot…in short: vast.
Best thing: it wasn’t another pay-to-play type Massive Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG).
