Yet another Bollywood gem that is a must for special effects and comics fans, extracted from the indian movie Dariya Dil:

Impressive! Stunning sfx, actress Govinda in a perfect Spider…man costume, dancing, singing and a sample of the awesome fight scenes only available in Bollywood!
Some of those treats you will also find on Bollywood version of Matrix!

Here’s a DOS game that’s probably the first fixed screen shooter I’ve ever played:

Operation Wolf was originally a sucessful Taito arcade game that ended up ported to tons of other platforms.

I remember playing it on a PC-XT, the game used two 5 1/4 floppy disks…. 640Kb each if I’m not mistaken.
And I played it both in a monochrome green screen and in an ancient 4 color display.

Original Arcade version:

Funny story back then… for some reason (most likely a virus), the game would sometimes run, sometimes not, sometimes it would lock up, mainly while changing floppies.

ZX Spectrum version:

But I liked the game a lot, so I’d keep trying… and I didn’t know much of how those floppies worked…
I thought it was some kind of contact problem so I kept wiggling the floppy inside the drive hoping this would help the game to run…

NES version:

Luckly I didn’t damage those floppy drives, but I also couldn’t play much of the game because of those problems… I still remember some funny things about it though, like having to shoot pigs to get ammo. xD

For Stock Car/NASCAR fans, PIT Strategy is an Augmented Reality game with a different point of view:

From developers Beyond Reality, the idea isn’t to drive the cars, but to control the pit stops, make them as fast as you can.
It’s a game concept for now, but it’s nice to see some people are still trying to make use of Augmented Reality in games in different ways…

Here’s some bonus music exclusive to the japanese Lost in Translation soundtrack:

Along with a picture that reflects A LOT the true spirit of the movie and what made me fall in love with it.
Of course I’m talking about Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), but not only that… it also has something to do with the atmosphere and story Sofia Coppola masterfully passes…
It’s about the images, the music and ambience unique to Lost in Translation. You can also kinda feel it on The Virgin Suicides, but since it’s another context, I didn’t identify as much.
I usually tell friends that while I do think Scarlett is beautiful, probably the most beautiful actress we have nowadays, I didn’t fell in love with Scarlett Johansson… but I did with Charlotte. ;_;

MockMoon2000 is an awesome japanese photographer who has a series of time lapse videos on YouTube.
Here’s a couple of videos themed as Miniature Trains:



I wrote about his Miniature City videos sometime ago.

You can find more time lapse content on this very blog.

Jade is probably annoyed, and she wants to get down…

Her owner says she wasn’t pressing or hurting Jade, and she wasn’t really desperate (or she would be also using her claws)… so yeah, whinning is the appropriate term here. xD

Luigi finally snaps after all these years of being a secondary character!

Another Mario character stress out, just like the Bowser’s Minions video, also from CollegeHumor.com

Bulletsss an interesting platformer-puzzle game made by indie developer Arvi Teikari:

Bulletsss

This Nike ad probably explains why I can’t stand treadmills:

Still, since I don’t have the skills or patience to run on parks, swimming is all that’s left to me.

Sorry, dunno the music title…

But Hatsune Miku and Akita Neru are characters from the Vocaloid software…

Another version with some improved effects (motion blur):

Hatsune Miku is all over my blog, but you can see both characters in Nendoroid version on the Hatsune Miku 3D Dancing post.
