Real life quest trails would be stunning

July 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These photographs were taken by the London photographer Joel James Devlin. He creates original images and has studied the effect of moving lights through long exposure photographs. It’s that technique which creates the stunning photographs we can see here. The “adventure trail” or “quest trail” is a fairly common device in computer RPGs. It’s a […]

Turn your phone into a robot – meet Romo

July 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think this is a good idea – but let me know if you disagree. Romo was a Kickstarter project that funded last year and raised just just of $115,000. It lets you turn your smartphone into a robot. Romo is still pretty basic but, we’re told, he’s fast learner. This is him messing around […]

On Monday we posted the first episode of Barry Sonnenfeld’s Dinosaurs Vs Aliens motion comic. It’s an interesting concept. There are all sorts of dinosaurs – and there are also all kinds of aliens, including the facehugging, acid drooling, xenoform aliens.

Clever Tetris lights

July 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These Tetris lights are pretty clever. This isn’t not a single light sculpture. There are actually a number of different shaped lights – and they only light up when they touch.

Hello… uber geek!

July 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Darksiders 2 – Mankind is no more

July 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mankind is no more. A causality of the endless conflict between angels and demons. However, in the realm between the angels and demons mankind still has one last hope – the most feared horseman of them all; Death.
