Black Powder is a game developed by Aptual Ltd. and it is a simple survival game. Basically, you take control of 3 canons in defense of a castle from the English fleet of ships. Ships approach from the left and carry on to the right side of the screen, as you progress more ships appear and it gets harder to target them. The gameplay itself in concept form is fun but falls short due to its ...
Green and I are obsessed over architecture as you can probably tell, but we also love anything with sharp edges. I came across this amazing cinema called Kinémax and which such a great name you can’t go wrong. The cinema is located inside a theme park in France called Futurescope along with other thrill rides. What strikes me most about the cinema is of course its amazing look, all those sharp edges shaping up crystals ...
Bugatti and “Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin” has teamed up to bring yet another limited edition of their Bugatti Veyron. This one is called L’Or Blanc which means “White Gold” and such a name is implied because “Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin” is specialized in creating porcelain and for this car it is covered with this material on the outside and inside. This also marks the first car in history to use such a material in its body and interior ...
If you’ve played video games in the past you are gonna love this guys work!. Aled Lewis is an artist who decided to bring back the joy of retro gaming in an artistic pixel filled style mixed in with a bit of good old humor. Everything from his style to the colors he uses just screams retro, (in a good way). The best part of his work is that he takes classics like Mario, Pac ...
I’m an art junkie. I love everything related to art, the skill involved, the imagination behind it, the concepts, the process, the mediums used, any pretty much anything else I can think of. So I’ve seen my fair share of art and as a result its hard to find something that really captivates me more than the usual. But artist Alexis Marcou did just that. Through the use of a roughly sketched pencil style ...
I personally did not think yet another Mission Impossible was in the works and even if I knew I wouldn’t imagine Tom Cruise still acting in it, luckily he is and supported by a great cast as well. The story is a bit different as the world in endangered with a terrorist attack and the team is gone rogue all in pursue of clearing their organizations name. Therefore, there won’t be contact with them what so ...
DJ Chuknum is back with yet another great song. This is a song by Chris Brown featuring Kevin McCall and SeVen from RichGirl. This is a remixed version of Drake’s popular song of the same name. I like the slow tone of the song. There isn’t a music video to check out or anything, there isn’t a downloadable version on iTunes either, there is the song on youtube which you can check below. note: the song ...
The Zoorgs have invaded space and time as we know it and its up to you to fix the anomalies that ensue! Basically its a fancy way of saying find the stuff on the screen before the timer runs out. The game is highly addictive the best way I can describe it is that its like this generations version of Wheres Wally. God I miss Where’s Wally! *ahem* back to the review. The app ...
The weathers been kinda fugly lately so I decided to make another Cyanide & Happiness post to cheer you guys up. Before you get all ghetto on me I know the first comic isn’t from Cyanide & Happiness but it made me laugh so I thought I should share it, besides thats practically the way my brain thinks 24/7. These comics crack me up every time no matter how bad I’m feeling these guys ...
Ahmed is a Kuwait artist whose work I found on deviantart, (there is some explicit content consider yourself warned). He doesn’t have much info on his page nor was I able to find a personal website, but I was impressed by his work and I thought it was worth showcasing. I loved his characters and how he added a lot of the subjects personality into them. His art has the perfect blend between the ...
I’ve seen artworks created with Cheetos and other kinds of food but never seen one drawn with salt and turn out like this. To some extent it does not really look like Jack Sparrow especially the eyes, but the level of detail considering it is created using only salt is just crazy. This artwork was created by Bashir Sultani from Canada and according to his bio page, he is new to this slat drawing. It takes ...
This has to be the coolest clock that Ichavez ever come across. Everything from its minimalist design with sharp edges to its beautiful display of words rather than numbers is both really cool and more informative than ever. This beautiful work of art was designed by Biegert & Funk in 2 forms, either a wall clock or a desk alarm, but they are both same in terms of the overall look except for the thickness ...
Here’s a very cool piece of architecture that I came across and had to share, the Zero gravity room. In a bustling world, people try to shrink stuff, just like the one apartment rooms that I’m pretty sure you saw in Japan where the kitchen, table, bed and whatever else can be folded back to the wall. This one however is quite different, built by Nicholas Blake and M&A volunteers, this structure is a clever ...
Im more of a Call of Duty fan than a Halo one, (its my blog I can say what I want, Back off! Thank you). But one thing I definitely appreciate about the Halo series is that they always had the most amazing trailers and videos. Apparently, thats also the case when it comes to their fan videos too. This amazing video was made by artists Chris Kelly and Colin Trenter and features the ...
I came across this video while randomly surfing the net and I loved how original it was! The animation was made as a music video for the band called Danger Beach. The song is instrumental with the electric guitar having the most prominent sound. The music video is basically an animation of a cute little red indian traveling a world that spirals in on itself, sorta like riding a merry-go-round of revolving visuals. The ...
Google has been very busy lately, we’ve already talked about the new search features but Google just took it a step further. According to the Google blog (yes they have a blog), Google just released Google + (pronounced Google Plus) a social media network that is set to rival Facebook. Personally Im not a fan of the name but the concept behind it seems solid. They basically took all the best aspects of Facebook ...
