Kitten Still Loves Puppy

10 07 2009

Egon and Izzy, Zack Scott’s pets, still like each other just like they were small pets.

Or do they?
As Zack explains, the video is also known by “Don’t Lick Me There” or “Bipolar Chihuahua”.
Well, every successful relationship has it’s ups and downs… :P

Machine Girl (Gore)

9 07 2009

If you never heard of japanese B-rated gore movies, you are missing a big part of the new japanese cinema… xD

Noboru Iguchi is sort of the new japanese Tarantino, though maybe this title is already taken by another famous japanese gore movie director: Takashi Miike.

iPhone 3GS Time Lapse

9 07 2009

A pretty nice time lapse video taken with an iPhone 3GS and an iPhone app called… TimeLapse. :P

Great for a cellphone cam, but still far from the pro stuff… the author chose a sweet spot though! :D

How to Send Back Food at a Restaurant

9 07 2009

This is more like a etiquette lesson video, but I liked how it was done so… here it is: Tips on how to send food you didn’t like for some reason, back at a restaurant for replacement or refunding.

I should take notes.. usually, when the foods taste bad I just don’t eat and never go back to the restaurant.
If it’s rotten, have some foreign object in the middle, or something like that though, I complain, and not very politely (unless it’s an honest simple mistake). :P

Kabuto Mushi – Beetle Battles – Mushiking

9 07 2009

Dunno if this is still on, but some years ago a game called Mushiking spawned a new trend in Japan and some other asian countries: Adopting stag/rhinocerous/scarab beetles as pets!

Here’s a video taken with the iPhone 3GS made by Danny from DannyChoo.com

Gratuitous Space Battles (PC)

8 07 2009

Gratuitous Space Battles (yep, that’s the name) kinda looks like a Real Time Strategy (RTS) game, but it’s not… it’s more close to a tower defense style game.
Watch this awesome idea for a space game from indie developer Positech:

At the start of the round, you buy and manage your ship formation, and when the game begins, you only watch the battle happening.
Which is pretty nice for a space game.

Abandonware – Gorilla.bas (PC)

8 07 2009

Before Worms, before browser cannon games like Yeti Games and Kitten Cannon and even before Scortched Earth, there was Gorilla.bas

This is truly abandonware, a game that came with DOS.
It came with Nibbles.bas, which I already wrote about.
It was actually a code example for compiler Qbasic, so you actually had to open the code and compile to run the game.
Since computers still didn’t have a mouse or a graphics based interface for that matter, you had to type the angle and power for your gorilla to throw a banana. Objective was to hit your enemy, as seen on the video (players are insanely good… it took me several attempts before hitting target).
Good times… xD





SOUR – Omokage no Saki

8 07 2009

I’m not too much of a j-pop/ j-rock fan (though I do listen to lots of anime music), but SOUR has some incredible music videos:

Omokage no Saki (Beyond your Memory) uses stop motion with this interesting idea of otherwise bothersome earphone cables becoming alive with music.





Nearest Tube (iPhone)

8 07 2009

Nearest Tube is an iPhone 3GS app developed by AcrossAir that uses Augmented Reality to display the nearest metro station while using the iPhone camera:

It’s only working in London for now.
I think the idea is similar to that of the Android’s Layar, which I posted sometime ago in this blog.
Mixes GPS, map, camera and compass functions to map the graphics in the right stop.
