The imminent release of HTC Diamond in North America, via Telus. A dangerous time waster in the form of FireNES, which allows you to play classic Nintendo games in the Firefox browser. The just as imminent release of the new Nvidia drivers that will support PhysX, even allowing a second video card to handle the physics calculations. The promised extra coverage of the Apocalipstix release party, including the bands Dame and Terror Lake.

Full Show Notes This past Wednesday, we at rgbFilter went to the Toronto launch party for the new comic The Apocalipstix by writer Ray Fawkes and artist Cameron Stewart. Ray and Cameron were kind enough to give Alex some time to talk to them about the comic, and other projects they have coming up. It was a great night, presented by Chris from The Beguiling. After an intro and book signing session, the party continued with a couple of great bands, Dame and Terror Lake. There will definitely be more coverage of the night in the next regular episode of rgb Filter.
