Escape From City 17 [Part One]

•February 18, 2009 • Leave a Comment

H a l f – L i f e – You know that awesome First Person Shooter that revolutionised a genre as well a devoted league of followers. Well its inspiration certainly hasn’t faded away, as this kick-ass fan film will prove:

Directed by The Purchase Brothers

The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500.

Everything about this screams of awesomeness. Can’t wait for the 2nd instalment.

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

…is it really?

This sort of thing is common in the fashion/publicity industry, but I never imagined anyone would go to such lengths [Michael Jackson aside]

Freida Pinto is BEAUTIFUL, and yet this happens – Dammit, it’s ridiculous!!! Insane Photoshoping Ridiculousness!

Did Vanity Fair whitewash Slumdog Millionaire‘s Freida Pinto?

It’s just the lighting my birthmarked ass!

I hate the Skin-colour Patriarchy of this type of thinking – what’s real doesn’t matter – Is that the message VF is trying to convey or is this just a fuck up on their part?

The hypocrisy of makeup is absurd.

And if that image didn’t at all affect you, [I’m guessing that’s because you STILL haven’t seen Slumdog Millionaire] then this will:

The commercials [that’s right, plural] feature three of Bollywood’s biggest stars in a soap opera-style love triangle.

Disgusting.

Jackass Presents Mat Hoffmans Tribute to Evel Knievel – Scott Plamer Skydives with No Parachute

Effing sick! Have you ever dreamt of saving someone without a parachute? …I have… Ahem, doesn’t James Bond do something similar in “Quantum Of Solace?” 

LOL and this movie too:

Whoever wrote that scene, pat yourself on the back!

Valentine’s Day Encouragement [17]

Like many others out there, there isn’t anyone special in my life at the moment, and really, who cares! That shouldn’t be an excuse not to be out-and-about today and cheerful. Valentine’s is just another day, so keep being you and have a good one 🙂

Don’t let me catch you kissing jerks kissing around me though – Grr

Guess I’m off to a romantic movie, where I will snicker and groan loudly at every part that’s supposed to be cute, funny and sweet. Then shush people if they start kissing or murmuring sweet nothings in each other’s ears. Yeah, Valentine’s Day is great fun.

Two of my favourite games brought together in this neat video. Makes me want to dig out ye-old Playstation and FFVIII it all night lonng!

Master Chief and Arbiter aren’t too safe walking around the world map. See what happens when they come across a “random battle.”

The Menus are all working and were made in close detail. The HP and MP, along with Limit Breaks and turn order all move to show the flow and the pace of the battle. Hope you enjoy.
