Nyan Cat Scarf! [accessories]

•July 5, 2011 • 3 Comments

Someone somewhere is profiting the shit out of Nyan that’s for sure:

I know for a fact someone would wear this, but not me. I wouldn’t wear it. …Is it made from cashmere?!

Among breaking the piggy bank and forking for this years New Zealand International Film Festival this month, I will be philosophically deciding whether I want to pursue my dreams or throw in the towel and join the rat race of a nine to five job. I’m in my twenties, but I feel much older than I am. Always have. About time I put my youth to good use huh. Wish me luck yo, I could use some.

Or I’ll die trying! YEEEAAAHHH 😀

Anti-Gravity Dancing

Awesome. Somewhere in the world, I imagine is a very jealous Lionel Richie.

You must admit being a tad mesmerized by the swirling, balletic choreography that these four skydivers do in the Skydive Arena wind tunnel in Prague, Czech Republic.

Crossroads

•June 28, 2011 • Leave a Comment

I am at a crossroad at the moment. I am not depressed, more like suppressed and angry but no time to think or constructively write about how I feel or what I’m going through. Nothing surprises me lately. Happiness seems ephemeral. My situation isn’t as drastic as me literally being at the crossroads and making a deal with the devil. But there are times when I would stick around to hear his offer…

The Spherical Helicopter

•June 24, 2011 • Leave a Comment

I WANT IT! I can see this appearing in a movie one day; it has that look to it. Apparently developed for the military, this spy ball is meant for battlefield information gathering only:

😀 Love the use of Kenny Loggins “Highway to the Danger Zone” which of course was used in the iconic Top Gun (1986) All this needs now are some ray-guns!

Mass Effect 3 – Fall of Earth Trailer

•June 18, 2011 • Leave a Comment

I love the Mass Effect universe; it’s so rich and the sounds and writing is top-notch! Just as immersive as any good film. I can’t wait to conclude this epic sci-fi saga using my own saved data:

Witness Commander Shepard’s heroic struggle to save the planet Earth from total destruction in this new Mass Effect 3 trailer.

Speaking of sci-fi sagas; I just found out there’s going to be a Halo 4!

I’m loving the retro video-game motif in Goldfish‘s new music video; it’s funky and full of total win! Along with just enjoying this sweet song, see how many pop culture and gaming references you notice:

‘Portal’ Cosplay Show

Pretty cool for a cosplayer to put on a fun, choreographed show for the audience; very brave, albeit, super geeky!

Cosplayers Ninja of the Night take on Portal with this amusing low-budget stage show which won the “Most Dramatic” award at FanimeCon.
