Kinect controlled robot – the first Kinect controlled model?

January 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video is frightfully impressive. This is all the work of a hobbyist and V-Sido software, which, if you want, you can get here. As you watch this video think about the robot’s balance. It simply isn’t falling over despite leaning quite some distances in some of the Kinect-powered poses. It’s impressive stuff. This particular […]

Freak Mario to save Mario?

January 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a bit messed up. It’s a YouTube video designed to grab the attention of Shigeru Miyamoto the creator of Mario. It’s messed up. Really, it’s hard to say much about this freakish video except that the author clearly thinks Mario has been lead down the nightmare path to destruction. Freaky. One more time […]

January 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

North Korea invades America: Homefront

January 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It took me a little while to work out which Sci-Fi series this rather awesome advert for THQ’s Homefront reminded me of. It’s Battlestar Galactica. It’s the echo pings in the soundtrack that does it. Check it out for yourself and let me know if you agree. In other news, the ad does a pretty […]

Super Mario Galaxy Medley

December 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It seems to me that a good way to get your vocal talents noticed is to pick a song or a tune that’ll appeal to the geek community. We excel at getting videos noticed, starting that viral effect and creating stars. Step forward Diwa de Leon who’s put together this impressive Super Mario Galaxy Medley. […]

Gymkhana added to make DiRT sexy

December 20, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ll admit it. I’m not that much of a fan of racing games. Mainly this is because I suck at them. I remember when Project Gotham for the Xbox would tell me it couldn’t find anyone worse or of equal skill to me on Xbox Live and I’d have to accept playing against people better […]
