The 12 Masks of Halloween: #2 The Joker

October 7, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

The Joker was already an infamous super villian before The Dark Knight movie. This Halloween mask is based on the character immortalised by Heath Ledger’s amazing performance. Do you think they should do another Batman film? Could it even hope to follow on from The Dark Knight? Can’t wait until the next mask appearing? Try […]

New: Undulatus asperatus

October 7, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The asperatus is a “new” type of cloud. It was recognised in June 2009 by the Royal Meteorlogical Society as being a cloud type in its own right. The society is now gathering aditional data on the formation. The question remains whether they’re distinct from the other types of undulatus clouds or whether asperatus should […]

Valve pumps $25m into Left 4 Dead 2 ad campaign

October 7, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We all know that games are big business these days and rival even movies when it comes to the profits the smash hits can make. It’s also true that games are being increasingly promoted like movies and with movie like budgets. Left 4 Dead is a fantastic game. It’s so good that it’s advertising successes […]

Michelin Man defeats Evil Gas Pump

October 7, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As part of a $20 million advertising push we have this new Michelin Man kaiju battle with a giant evil gas pump. It’s pretty funky and that’s even before we get onto the Fire Coming OUt of The Monkey’s Head. I think the vocal overlay to the Michelin Man’s battle with the evil gas pump […]

Freaky: Ronald McDonald takes on KFC

October 5, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a Megaman inspired act of craziness that features an animated Ronald McDonald bringing battle with KFC’s Colonel. There’s not much else that can be said about a PlayStation game that features giant hamburger battles or fried chicken legs as a health metre! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Ki1QV8Wg0

Yu Gi Oh meets Pearl and Dean

October 2, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This was produced just for Alcon 2009 and was shown before the opening ceremony. What do you think of the voice? Reminded me of Spongebob’s own version of this where he also sings along with the famous Pearl and Dean intro. It also reminded me why so many people prefer their anime in Japanese and […]
