One of the most beautiful tracks on Four Tet‘s new album There Is Love In You… Best heard nice and loud on headphones – it’ll put a smile on your face =D

I went to see Four Tet & Caribou last week in Melbourne with the good lady wife (the midnight show – got out of there around 3:20am!) and they were great! Highly recommended if you get a chance.

They look like CGI, but aren’t. Incredible! Love how the bubble collapses along the length of it until poof! – it’s gone.

I wonder if I could knock something like that up in OpenGL…

This made me smile the other day, so I thought I’d share…

Apparently, you can do this on the PC version just by going into the handling.dat file in your GTA4 folder, and editing “wbias” to be around -9 for all the vehicles you want to go crazy. Something about negative wheel friction, I believe =D

On a title-related bent, I hadn’t thought about the Carmageddon games for a long while – they were pretty cool in their day, but you look now and it’s… well, downright ugly. Still, they used to be a lot of fun to play…

Can’t wait! The original Portal had me scratching my head for an hour to get past some of the later levels, and then filled with joy & relief that I’d managed to figure it out (without using YouTube!) – this looks like it could be much the same. Which as far as I’m concerned is a very good thing…

Puzzle FPS, eh? Sweet! =D

Congrats to Arcade Fire on their 2011 Grammy best album win for The Suburbs!

Apparently, a lot of the media monkeys didn’t know who the hell Arcade Fire were, which prompted much ill-educated commentary by those who insist that if it’s not in the Top 40 Billboard charts, then it must be both irrelevant & rubbish. As such, I feel it only fair to point out the following important public information video:

You have been warned =P
