Apps of the Week

July 31st, 2009

 
 

(function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(“#px13 a”).lightBox({});});})(jQuery);
I’m back with another healthy dose of apps that have caught my eye.  Since it’s been a couple weeks I decided to throw in an extra review…mainly because I think the third app is somewhat hilarious (not the content mind you, but for the fact that I have no reasoning for why you’d need [...]

Next week will see the release of many tracks from Spinal Taps “Black Album” along with a few remixes from “Back From The Dead”. All tracks will be available for the Xbox 360 and Wii on August 4th, with the PS3 receiving the tracks on August 6th. No official price point or if there [...]

I’m honestly not too familiar with this storyline.  But, the movie looks pretty cool.

Wes Anderson (director of Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, Royal Tenebaums, etc) has adapted Roald Dahls book The Fantastic Mr. Fox for the screen. What is great about this is instead of going the animation or computer animation route, he went all stop-motion animation. The film looks great and stars the usual Anderson cast in [...]

Udon Entertainment, the publishers of the actually quite good Street Fighter comic books are set to release a sweet book of character designs and art from the Street Fighter video game franchise.  As someone who generally sucks at video games and particularly sucks at Street Fighter, I must say that it is with  the property’s [...]

Activision has released the full 85 song track list for Guitar Hero 5 today, and I’ll tell you I’m not that impressed. Out of the 85 songs there are only about 10 or so that interest me, which I why I wish Activision would release these tracks as DLC for those who already own [...]

Recently, I stumbled upon this amazing piece by Dustin Wallace.  It’s literally an Origami robot made of sheet metal!

From Dustin:
Robotagami -  Foldable, poseable, robotic figure cut from a flat sheet of metal then bent like Origami to become a collectible piece of artwork.  Robotagami are designed to be art that anyone can collect much like [...]

On “The State”

July 29th, 2009

So now that MTV’s “The State” is finally out on DVD, I can take a moment to gush about just how fucking sweet this show is.

For those younger Nerd Citizens. “The State”, a sketch show with an eleven member ensemble,  debuted on MTV in January 1994. The cast included Michael Showalter,  David Wain, Michael Ian [...]
