September 28, 2006

The holiday season is very quickly approaching and, as with every other year, the gaming industry wants your money. However, this year they may actually earn it. The Tokyo Game Show as well as X06 have recently wrapped up and there is no shortage of gaming eye candy still spreading through the net from both events. Here's my picks for most impressive: Lost Planet, BioShock and Assassin's Creed.

Last time I posted about paper sculptures, but check out what is possible with water and clouds. Spectacular.

Ever wanted to create your own 3D models but don't have the time or the means to do it? Well now you do. Here's a little Java applet called Teddy that lets you doodle your own 3D objects and even paint them. For those without Java you can watch this impressive video demonstration.

Ready for the end of the world? No, it's not nukes. Nope, it's not global warming either. Mankind's ultimate demise might come in the form of "negative strangelets". It sounds bizarre and incomprehensible but it relates to some over-funded French scientists messing with things that are better left undiscovered. CERN (Centre Europeen pour la Recherche Nuclaire) is about to fire up their new Large Hadron Collider and some people are concerned that it might possibly cause the instantaneous consumption of Earth and a large chunk of our surrounding universe.

MGM may be a failing studio these days that can't seem to find a swimmer among it's many sinkers, but the studio may have a few tricks left. MGM has "The Hobbit" listed as one of their planned 150-200 million dollar films for the future and have hopes of signing Peter Jackson to direct. They hope that the prequel to the successful Lord of the Rings Trilogy could be enough to pull themselves back up.

Fresh farm eggs, fishing bait, beer, rhinoceros beetles, and schoolgirl undergarments. How are these seemingly random items related? Well if you live in Japan, then all of these items and more are conveniently available through easily accessible vending machines. The Japanese sure know how to live in luxury.

A blank sheet of paper can be a powerful thing. It can seem daunting and demanding, an empty canvas with which many things are possible. What if you went beyond flat thinking? Take that same paper and bring to life something with real volume to it? These paper cut sculptures are a thing of beauty, and for you gamers out there here's some nostalgia in origami form.
