Team PTX Goes All Scott Pilgrim for Valentines Day
February 1, 2012No Comments
The ninjas over at ProtohTypX have decided to get an early start on the Valentines Day holiday with a Scott Pilgrim-like short featuring what lengths men will go to to impress the girl. I use the Scott Pilgrim description because PTX mixed in some VFX “Thud, Bang, Booms” during the action sequences that saw the hero (or …
There’s not much you can do in 10 seconds these days, but you can see some new Avengers footage in that timespan by watching the new teaser for their Super Bowl promotion below. After last week’s announcement that this movie will be accompanied by custom 3D Marvel glasses my excitement for this film grew ten …
Crash Bandicoot Racing in Real Life
January 31, 2012No Comments
The FinalCutKing has put out a new VFX video that features some Crash Bandicoot racing action in a real life setting. Once again the FCK has done a solid job utilizing some VFX to make a rather mundane video of dudes skateboarding much more exciting. I’m always a sucker for “gaming in real life” videos, so I …
Bioware has put out a fantastic new trailer that details the process of capturing the voice performances for Mass Effect 3, which are surprisingly voiced by some Hollywood stars. In addition to exposing this process this new trailer also offers some new looks at the game itself. Is anyone else popping chubs over this game’s …
Peter Jackson put out an open casting call for New Zealanders who fit the description below to play hobbit extras in his production of The Hobbit movies. Well rather than the 1200 extras he needed 3000 hobbit-like folk showed up causing the police to shut the production down citing issues of motorway safety. I guess this …
Square Enix has put out an official launch trailer for the sequel to Final Fantasy XIII, FFXIII-2, and it’s full of the over-the-top JRPG elements that this franchise is famous for. I actually enjoyed the first go round in FFXIII even though it had a peculiar story, and a band of characters that couldn’t quite …
Who doesn’t remember growing up in the 80′s and 90′s where every household in the country was glued to the TGIF sitcom line-up on Friday evenings? Full House, Family Matters, Perfect Strangers, and other sitcoms with similar formulas all ruled the day before mediums such as the Internet even existed. When I watch some of …
AMC has released the first three minutes of the season 2.5 premiere episode titled, “Nebraska”. It looks like the show will pick up right where it left off in November, so if you haven’t watched the first half of season 2 you may want to refrain from watching this clip. All I have to say …
HBO has put out a fourth trailer titled, “Shadow”, for the upcoming season of Game of Thrones, and if it doesn’t give you goosebumps then you have no soul! I can’t wait to return Martin’s fantasy masterpiece, and these little teases are tickling my taint, but they’re not giving me the satisfaction I need, which …

I hope you’ve been pinching your pennies during the dry entertainment months of December and January, because it’s about that time of year when new triple-A video game titles start to hit the market again. Both SoulCalibur V and Final Fantasy XIII-2 are being released this week for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I think …

January 29, 2012No Comments
I was lucky enough to score a code for the Diablo III beta this week, and after playing through it yesterday I can’t help but yearn for more dungeon looting action once the final build is released later this year. I was amazed at how well D3 ran on my MBP Early 2011 model, which …
