TechEBlog has a YouTube video which lists the top ten 10 Scariest Video Games – I’ve hardly played any of them – but then again, I spook really easily!!!
Huh…wouldn’t this be a really cool think to do on Tuesday? Gather a few people and play scary computer games in the dark?
“The researchers in HP’s Bristol, England, office came up with a location-aware game that allows visitors to the Tower of London to help virtual prisoners escape.”
What fun!!! I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I find myself in tourist situations, there’s just so much that I want to absorb and learn, yet walking around just observing and listening to guides and reading becomes tiresome after a few hours! But what if I truely could experience these places and their history? The Mercury News Interactive reports:
“The game, developed by the Mediascapes research team at HP Labs and staff at the Tower of London, uses HP iPAQ handheld devices and location sensors including GPS. Digital files containing voices, images, music and clues are placed in specific locations using the HP Labs Mediascape authoring toolkit.
As players move into a location in the Tower and its grounds, the appropriate digital file is triggered on their iPAQ devices. This allows players to meet historical prisoners in the Tower, such as Guy Fawkes and Anne Boleyn, one of Henry VIII’s wives. Even the Tower’s Yeomen Warders, nicknamed Beefeaters, become part of the game as players try to help historical figures escape.”
Most of us have already seen it…but it just desserves your attention if you haven’t yet! You really don’t have to be a WoW player to understand the humour in this! I was in stitches! And what a social comment!!! Enjoy!
I’ve been completely smitten by Keane’s “Crystal Ball”! I know, I’m late and everyone else is probably sick of it – but I’m completely and utterly smitten!!! I saw a clip of the music video and there was my favorite B-actor (oh dear…is that an insult?)! Does anyone else have those? Actors that you just adore, but don’t remember the name of?
Anyways, wanted to have a look at the whole video and naturally headed over to YouTube! And, naturally the RIAA had requested the video removed! Idiots!
But ofcourse I found so much more interesting stuff with the song!!! A Lost mashup! An adorable puppet! A Harry Potter love triangle drama! Three best friends portraying the weirdness of growing up (I think)! An amusement park mash-up! And….
Well…I think I’m gonna have to stop there, the song’s starting to wear thin in my ears! Hehe!
I think this stuff is just adorable and entertaining (although I really shouldn’t be spending this much time enjoying myself). And ofcourse….how could I ever mention fan culture without mentioning machinima?!!! Hehe!
This time it’s a song about gaming. Pretty much singing that they’re sitting there in ‘venten’ (which I think is an abreviation for ventrilo) and playing a little computer games (interesting to think that the direct translation would be ‘playing data)!
Update: Oops! I was wrong! He’s actually singing about playing DotA – Defense of the Ancients.
It’s, you know, something to blog about without having to write too much;)! Interesting, at least!
Thanks, i1277!
I was just soooo impressed by this kid that I needed to dedicate a post to him! I mean…whoah!!! Rubiks cube with one hand!! In less than half a minute!!! That’s insane!
It’s Friday, I’m at work, I’m tired and I just want the weekend to begin!!! Via Guardian Gamesblog useless entertainment has been provided to let the minutes pass more quickly! My Space banner games! They’re not really that fun! But I just HAVE to get through them all! Ti hi! What an excuse to not write anything of any value! ;)
Great little Zidane game (?). Charming!

Umh…I don’t really know what to say, which is weird since I’m blogging about this, but I can’t figure out if I’m crying because I’m laughing or laughing because I’m crying! And what the hell is the message behind these lyrics? He knows this great bot named Anna who turns out to be a beautiful woman, but he doesn’t care because to him she will always be a bot? WTF? Anyways! This is a must see!!!
