The Techland Show: The Bitch God Episode

No seriously, I say the phrase “bitch god” in this one. The god in question is Poseidon. Other than that I have no idea what I was talking about.

Peter’s away at GDC this week, along with Evan, where they are probably using up our entire expense budget for the year. So it’s me and Steve, the movie guy, talking Tron, God of War III, …

Tron Legacy Trailer: The Mr. Blurrycam Edition

I have a habit of never watching trailers for movies that I have high hopes for and Tron Legacy is no different. In case you didn’t go and see Burton’s Alice over the weekend here’s a cam of the trailer that debuted during the IMAX event. Let me know what you think.

*Please don’t suck.*

And Here’s the New Iron Man 2 Trailer

The latest Iron Man 2 trailer debuted on Jimmy Kimmel right after the Oscars and here it is. I think this is the first we’ve seen of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow in action. I won’t spoil the rest but it’s most definitely worth a look.

WTF of the Day: Ke$ha x Star Wars

I don’t know who this Ke$ha person is or what her song is all about, but this video is pretty amazing. The guy dressed up as Leia looks way too comfortable in that getup though.

We get to the bottom of that and much more in this week’s …

New Portal Stuff; New Halo Reach Trailer; Yay

There are signs of life from Aperture Science. Valve released on update for its incredibly compelling puzzle game Portal yesterday. This has set off a mad scramble through one of those weird augmented-reality scavenger hunts, starting with radios in the game releasing screechy audio transmissions, which were decodable into a series of …

Another Ridiculously Viral Video from OK Go

It may have cost them years of their lives, but I feel pretty confident that OK Go will once again ride the giant viral sandworm with this video. I think my personal favorite moment is the smashed TV at 3:39.

The making-of doc is below, in four …

Terminus: The District 9 Writer’s CGI Nightmare

The other day I read an interview with Terri Tatchell, the co-writer of District 9, in which she mentioned that she was thinking of adapting a short film for her next project. The film is called Terminus. It’s on YouTube.

At the time I thought to myself, is this a post? I flipped a mental coin. I missed the catch and the coin rolled …
