I never watched the, from what I understand, ecchi/fanservice filled anime Fight Ippatsu! Juuden chan!!, but I found this very interesting (non ecchi) meme about the episode ending.
The original one goes like this:
This is the preview of upcoming Fig. 8 game, a bike riding game…
…that looks something out of a engineer/architecht/designer dream/nightmare.
From Intuition Games. One of the creators Greg Wohlwend describes it neatly: ‘you control a bicycle through technical diagram suburbia’.
Legendary anime studio Madhouse is making adaptation of classic Marvel heroes, following up on the unholy matrimony tendency mixing japanese animation with american/western stuff.
Interesting app concept for cellphone that mixes face recognition with augmented reality to display contact information:
The augmented reality part seems interesting yet not very useful for a cellphone cam (IMO), but even so, I guess this will truly become interesting once we have Augmented Reality glasses or lenses…
Imagine walking on streets while being able to retrieve people’s contacts here and there…
Well, this might also be pretty terrifying actually… for those concerned about privacy.
Another music I don’t really know the real title (if it has one).
From Enemy of the State movie soundtrack, it’s the main theme composed by Trevor Rabin and Harry Gregson Williams.
You know those songs that for some reason are part of your life and will follow you forever?
The ones you always get back to on happy and sad days, like an old friend?
Well, this is one of those for me, and part of a series of posts I’m calling my permanent playlist.
As I just finished playing Fallout 3, I decided to make a post about this upcoming Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman movie called The Book of Eli:
Also happens in a post apocalyptic future, and lots of fans are comparing the movie with Fallout 3… but I suspect that almost every post-apocalyptic movie will have stuff comparable to Fallout 3, since the theme has very distinguishing characteristics, such as: destroyed buildings, a “sole survivor” hero that can save humanity, lots of guns and weapons, etc etc. Like in Madmax, I am Legend, and several other tales.
And I’m very happy with all this because I just love post-apocalyptic stories. Battle Royale and Dragon Head are a couple of very nice mangas I can quote on this, and post-apocalyptic stories are close to my favorite literature genre too: Dystopic futures. Like 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, etc.
Also, I won’t judge which is best, which is better, because it’s all about personal taste… but I find it difficult for any 2 hour long movie reflect everything Fallout 3 has. Politics, portraits of common people living that era, the moral choices you have to make, prejudice and personalities we have on the game and stuff like that.
Still, having the Man on Fire Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman in a post-apocalyptic movie… what more can I ask for?
Battle Royale, a popular manga in Brazil, has it’s origins on a novel that also has a movie adaptation:
Having watched the movie and read just a couple of volumes from the manga, I can tell that the movie cuts back on the sexual content, but still has lots of the gore. Continue lendo 'Battle Royale Movie (Gore)'»
