Minecraft Block in Real Life
Minecraft is turning into real life. Here is a cool Minecraft Block. Awesome!
Now that I’m working on projection mapping it was only a matter of time before this happened. Thanks to my brother for the inspiration, he mentioned that one of the other projection mapping examples looked a bit like a minecraft block. Once the idea popped into my head I had to give it a try.There’s a piezo element taped to the box and hooked up to an arduino. The arduino senses the physical impact with the piezo element and sends serial data to my PC. Processing picks up the serial signal and takes care of the projection and interaction (particles, etc).
E3 Booth Babes Really Arent Geeky!
Very funny video from E3. Shame on the booth babes! At least read up on some basic gaming info before going to E3.
E3 Gameplay for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
This was recorded from E3 2011 and I must admit this game is looking pretty damm good so far! Can never have too much Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Unlimited XP & Money Cheat/Glitch
Dragon Age 2 only came out yesterday, but some crafty people have already discovered an easy to perform glitch that gives the player an infinite amount of experience points and gold. Hmmm, those are surely some of the basic fundamentals of the game, no?
The glitch, or “cheat” if you’re the judgemental type, involves some quick button presses while turning in quest items from delivery missions. Check out GameFront’s video for the details:
The Brazilian Slum Hold The Battle Grounds For Our Planets Future?
First person shooters are crazy popular at the moment. My friends, who are between 25 and 35 are telling me stories of why they had to quit playing them because they felt compelled to put the kids to be early to squeeze in an extra half hour. Weather your Call Of Duty or CounterStrike you can’t deny that we’ve come a long way from GoldenEye or doom.
Seeing as the first person genre seems to be both competitive and repetitive I was sure that we wouldn’t really see a new style of multi-player mass murder game until the world saw another war to base it on. The market is enjoying such good sales at the moment that it simply hasn’t had the need to waste money on coming up with anything new, if if ain’t broke don’t fix it. Right?
The video below is the best looking this i’ve seen for sometime. Barely do i ever see a trailer that makes we actually wanna wait for the game to come out. Set in what looks like some sort of slum in the future the first/third person shoot em’ up seems to be trying to bring something of a mech-warrior culture back. And they’re doing very nicely indeed. Named Hawken and rumoured to be released for all platforms, no real solid news has been released yet about its creators. It is however planned as a downloadable game, and has been built using Epic’s Unreal Engine.

Total War: Naval Combat
More Total War: Shogun 2 screen shot have emerged and they look as plush as the last few. With a sneaky hint at what looks like to be naval warfare says I. Some campaign map shots are knocking about and some sort of super-magic gold dude. It is war, but still, you have to look good don’t you.

Nintendo DS And Knock-Off Nintendo DS Come From The Same Place?
The real, honest-to-goodness Nintendo DS is made in CHINA. And knock-off cheapo Nintendo DS handhelds are also made in……? China. Funny that.
Over 90 percent of counterfeit goods that entered Japan in 2010 were, according to Japanese customs, from China. The number is 11 percent higher than the previous year. The number two country for knock-off goods entering Japan was South Korea
The most popular knock-offs brought into Japan were Crocs sandals. Random and Lame. Number two was the Nintendo DS and DS-related items. Custom officials say that these phony goods do look real, noting that it is difficult to distinguish them from the genuine article.
Japanese custom officials are eager to work with China as well as South Korea to come up with effective measures to counter the counterfeits.
Michael Jackson Dance Game To Get An Overhaul
It is said on the grape-vine, that Ubisoft didn’t originally intend to release the Wii version of Michael Jackson: The Experience before the other consoles, but since it worked out that way, the publisher is taking advantage of the delay to tweak the experience based on feedback from last year’s best-selling Wii release.
Reviews were largely favorable when it came to the dancing mechanic and gameplay, but the dearth of bonus content and criticisms with the game’s Dance School mode were key points it wanted to correct. A small self life by the sounds of it, that kind of thing can result in thousands of gamers handing in their copies part exchange and the retailers are laden with a plethora of Michael Jackson game for sale second hand and any integrity the game has ever had disappears for ever.
On the latter point, Guillaume Cada (Ubisoft international product manager) said, “We decided to improve these so now that in the Dance School you see yourself dancing, just like in a mirror, so you can modify your moves.” With regard to new content, “We also had unlockables, now you have Trophies from the PS3. Every time you unlock a Trophy you unlock a visual or video in the Extras and in the Gallery part of the game.”
