True Combat Elite

 True Combat Elite

You know, sometimes you just want to kick ass and take names for free. These days finding that all joyful free method to do this is tough. That’s where True Combat Elite enters the pretty picture. It’s a gun toting kick ass first person shooter (FPS) that’s free. Yeah, ya heard me right, free (no, not like beer). It’s built on the popular steel belted free Wolfenstein 3D game engine and features some impressive graphics. Games by gamers, what a concept.
BTW, before the whiny Mac and Linux users start going on about how they get left out of the ultra violence all the time you should know that the game can be downloaded for all the platforms out there (ok, PC, Linux and Macs)
Truth be told I’m a bit of a PC video game virgin so I’m not up on all the latest and greatest in the world of game design (although I hear that F.E.A.R. is pretty good). I’ve always found ‘better’ things to do with my time at the computer than to play games. Well my porn surfing days look to be over because this game looks amazing! I now what I’ll be doing tomorrow, that would be killing stuff! Yearrgh!

Already over 1,100 people have submitted their works for the project (that’s a lot of balls, eh?) So go download a scene file and get rendering!

(I hope they produce a calendar of the best works, that would like nice of the old lab wall.)

PXL2000 User Manual

PXL2000 manual A reader posted a comment today on where one might obtain a copy of the users manual for the retro niche video camera of artists, the Fisher-Price PXL2000. Now, if your into the indy avaunt guard art movie scene you know what this is. If not it was a video camera marketed to kid that recorded a cropped blocky black and white image onto a standard audio tape. Wild eh? I’ve owned a few (I did the A/V mod on at least one thank you) and they are a blast to play with. I even removed the IR filter in hopes I could make a night vision scope for playing paintball. Eh, I was young…

Godzilla Shaped Building Proposed for Tokyo

Godzilla shaped building proposed for TokyoI know it’s just a crazy idea but if there would be a city to build a structure like this in it would have to be Tokyo. Just to mess with the heads of drunk salarymen would be good enough reason for me. However, I think it should be taken farther. Build a Mothra in Yokohama, a Rodan in Sapporo, and a Ebirah in Osaka. Then you could go on a true tour of Monster Island! I visited the ‘Golden Godzilla‘ in Tokyo, I’m sure others have too, but it’s kind of small. This would be more like what you would expect of a city like Tokyo. Anyway, there is an elephant shaped building in Bangkok so there should be one of ‘Zilla in Japan.
