Short film: Flesh Computer

November 17, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If the title doesn’t give you a clue – this short film is a little freaky at times. A cybernetic pet project (perhaps a cybernetic pet) of a handyman in a decaying apartment complex is put at risk by a pair of thugs. As a result the handyman is forced to take a stand and […]

Music meets Science in Cymatics

November 15, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This track is from Nigel Stanford’s Solar Echoes. All the experiments you see in it are real. You get to see how sound interacts with items in a bunch of interesting ways. Also; fire.

Who stole Trapdoor’s tools?

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

You might know Trapdoor Technologies as the company who had been working on the digital toolkit for Dungeons & Dragons 5. They’re not working on that project any more; last month they broke up with Wizards of the Coast. Today, Trapdoor have posted the mystery of the MorningStar.

Really? The Devil is a Part-Timer review

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 6 Comments

The Devil is a Part-Timer is an action-comedy. I enjoyed the action. The same can’t be said for the comedy. The background is straightforward and seems quite good. Satan is the king of his own island in a different realm and with his four generals effectively terrorising the neighbouring human islands. That’s until an incredibly […]

Tech Demo for Final Fantasy XV

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Not a trailer nor even a teaser – this video is Square Enix showing off the technology behind Final Fantasy XV. There’s music too. Music that’s easily described as “Final Fantasy appropriate”. What do you think? Does the tech behind the visual oomph of the game help get you interested? Or are you a bit […]

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mudcrabs! These little pests like to hide away on river banks in Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls Online (I know the first; assume the second). They’re annoyingly dangerous until you level up. Fancy having one to cuddle? You can! Gaming Heads are making high quality mudcrab plush toys that come with DLC so you can […]
