Video games, the art form for the 21st century?

With films going the way of all action no plot and a lot of mod­ern art so inane, per­haps it is time for video games to become the art form of the 21st cen­tury. Films com­bine sto­ry­telling and char­ac­ter analy­sis with a stark visual styles that have the power to astound, but this type of


Shit Art for Rich People

My fam­ily has a lot, and I mean a lot of shit art in its houses. There’s some real tripe from Tracy Emin, a pic­ture of man in a car­pet, some prints and aside from it all being uni­ver­sally awful, it’s also very very expen­sive. Since so much mod­ern art is toi­let, I’m going to


Facebook founding fathers?

A lot of good stuff, real good stuff has been writ­ten about Face­book, cul­mi­nat­ing in the movie adap­ta­tion The Social Net­work but no one has really got to the crux of the debate of just who Mark Zucker­berg really is. A recluse? A mis­un­der­stood genius? A nice-guy-really-don’t-believe-the-movie-hype? Or is he, really, Lord Bernard Stuart!?!?!?!1!! This


Good Clips

Just a series of clips, that I might write about later, that really shocked or amazed me. The first from an episode of the excep­tional Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Com­plex 2nd Gig: I’ve always liked those twist moments, when out of nowhere comes a bolt of awe­some that just makes you smile. It’s

London Underground Map 2011

The tube in cen­tral Lon­don is a mess, no more so than the Ham­mer­smith and City Line that is the only line in all the world that doesn’t tell you how long it will be until the next train arrives. I’d be will­ing to wager that out­side of rush hour, every train on the pink


DJ Applejuice is back!

Many years ago, I bought some decks and taught myself how to DJ. Only I wasn’t very good (tech­ni­cally and taste-wise). After years I still made errors but it was fun all the same. My friend had this mix of mine from 2002 and lis­ten­ing to it brings back a lot of mem­o­ries. For­give the,


Yahoo Answers

Why can’t I make gravy? Why do head­phone wires always form knots when you put them down for a sec­ond? Why do I like songs sung by females giv­ing empow­er­ing advice to other females? Why can I never find my socks? What hap­pens when a tor­nado meets a vol­cano? Why aren’t new films bet­ter than


Lookalike

I couldn’t really find a good pic of Mau­rice, but watch­ing the Mada­gas­car movies, Fore­man from House looks just like him. I swear the ani­ma­tors must have used his likeness.


Wagner – Addicted to Love

Holy what?! Wagner’s song was the stuff of night­mares like some sort of stalker / Josef Fritzl hybrid. I’m sure he was try­ing to come across as seduc­tive but he butchered Robert Palmer’s song, admit­tedly no worse than he does with every other song, in some sort of sex­ual preda­tor way. The lights are on, but
