The Less I Know the Better

The Less I Know the Better

(PG-13) A boy yearns for a girl who’s already in a relationship with… a gorilla? CANADA knocked it out of the park with this sexy and surreal music video for Tame Impala’s single. We hope gorilla hand dresses become a thing.

Kommentar zu Olympia: Zu selbstverliebt und siegesgewiss

Sendungsbild

Ernsthafte Kritik und sinnvolle Fragen wurden einfach beiseite geschoben, die Kampagne der Olympia-Befürworter wirkte selbstverliebt und zu siegesgewiss. Gabi Kostorz meint, die Bedenken gegen Olympia seien durchaus berechtigt gewesen. [video]

Elite: Dangerous Horizons Beta Now Roaming Planets

Beta access opened tonight for the first phase of the planet-roaming Elite: Dangerous [official site] expansion Horizons, which I believe is for folks who pre-ordered.

“Aha! But Alice,” you say, in a snide tone of voice that you know makes people want to twat you in the nose but makes you feel so clever, “I thought you said never to pre-order? I distinctly recall you saying that several times.” Very good, clever clogs, so you get the biggest treat of all: watching Elite head honch David Braben prepare to die of asphyxiation on a lonely moon:

Premature Evaluation: Sketch Tales

As any game with user-generated content, or even a mod scene, can attest: give someone the chance, and they’ll put a dick on it. Indeed, this may be some sort of universal truth. Dick-based vandalism has long been a favoured measure of casting shade on works of art, for example. Most recently one of Banksy’s murals sprouted a fresh peen, opening up (an entirely boring) debate as to whether a graffiti artist’s work could really be meaningfully vandalised.

Each week Marsh Davies turfs through the crude doodles of Early Access and comes back with any masterpieces-in-the-making he can find and/or amends his discoveries with an enthusiastically rendered dick or two. This week there is ample opportunity to append such appendages in Sketch Tales, a firstperson hack-n-slash in which you’re encouraged to re-draw and animate everything on the island you inhabit. I’m guessing the name “Tales from Penis Island” didn’t make it past Steam’s terms of service.

Stormtroopers on Longboards

Stormtroopers on Longboards

We already know what Darth Vader does in his spare time, and now we get a glimpse of some Imperial stormtroopers as they unwind from a long day on the Death Star. Seems like they’re far more skilled at riding longboards than they are with their blaster rifles.

How To Make Sensible Soccer Interesting Again

Sensible Soccer was my favourite game when I was a kid. I still own an old Sensible World of Soccer Amiga disk, which I keep as a memento of childhood like a favoured cuddly toy. But I have no interest in playing that game, anymore. If I did, I could play the 2007 XBLA release, and if I wanted an indie attempt to recreate the experience I could play Natural Soccer, Active Soccer 2, Super Soccer Champs, Kopanito All-Stars Soccer, Super Arcade Football or a dozen others.

So let’s try to come up with something more interesting. Let’s come up with some tenets for redesigning Sensible Soccer.
