In a recent a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/bleszinski-explains-bald-space-marines">Eurogamer article Cliff Bleszinski confesses that the limitations of designing games on current-gen, or otherwise affectionately known as "now-gen," consoles is probably the reason there are so many bald space marines floating around these days. Or rather, this gens specialty is rendering, grungy space heroes. He says,"At the same time, in this generation the translucent effects are very hard to pull off. That's why everybody sees a lot of...

We'll if your that cool dude at the party who likes to talk about how groundbreaking and ingenious Braid is then you'd be good to RSVP a seat on the Fez bandwagon.Fez will be the "it" game of 2010.

I'm so jealous of my older brother...He ordered this amazing Land of the Lost themed t-shirt that was only available to order for 24 hours from teefury.com (that's the sites gimmick, which I must admit is pretty damn clever and enticing).The artist responsible for the Sleestak and baby Chaka shirt is Jared Moraitis who has one hell of a knack for pop culture puns.I particularly like these...Pac Samu...

Warning: Potential spoilers!One might suspect when entering the cinema that they're about to witness the rise and fall of the infamous bank robber, sociopath, and all around scumball John Dillinger (played by Johnny Depp). But this plot presumption would be wrong. We see no rise, only the fall. The film begins in September of 1934, Dillinger's first prison break, and follows him until his demise eleven months later. Everything starts going wrong for him, basically, from the beginning of the movie.John Dillinger likes fast cars, movies,...

So you've seen all the Pixar movies and bought all the merch. You're a regular Pixar aficionado, aren't you? Not so fast...have you read Pixar's Pixarpedia? Most likely not, because it's not scheduled for release until August 17th and will retail for $26.40. It's worth it, it's the completed guide to the Pixar universe with facts, trivia etc. Reach for the sk...

Two weeks before his death, Michael Jackson wrapped shooting on a 3D movie known as "the Dome Project" that was created to accompany his European This is It Tour.Footage was shot using 3D cameras developed by stereoscopic extraordinaire James Cameron. I'm guessing that concert goers would have been given 3D glasses to experience the effects:wonder if they would have looked like MJ's signature aviator shades?Of course of the big question is when and how will we be able to see this last documented footage of Jackson getting his sing and...

While most people were working hard, or hardly working in some cases, I was, of course, making it a top priority of mine to man up and enjoy the summer, which means staying indoors and enjoying some sort of entertainment. First up:I watched Waltz with Bashir.This was an animated documentary of sorts. It's weird to talk about this movie as if it were a documentary, because it has a tendency to be fantastic at times while being realistic most of time. The graphic (a term that gets thrown around too often) quality of the film is what makes...

Oscar decides to allow 10 of his friends to come to the party next time. This was the announcement made earlier this week in what appears to be an attempt to give UP a chance to win best picture. But then who'll win best animated feature? This is a double edged sword because, on the one hand, although great animated features may finally get recognized in the Best Picture category they'll most likely still have an extremely uphill battle trying to win. Does this mean that they won't be recognized in their own category? For instance, if UP gets a BP nod, will it also be included in animation? There are so many questions...
