Stuffed Care Bears head is a perfect phone holster, complete nightmare
Not going to lie here -- we're having a really tough time determining whether this is just mildly weird, astonishingly strange or adorably cute. While we wrestle with our emotions, we'll candidly explain that this stuffed Care Bears head does nothing more than hold your cellphone and cast dubious glances in your direction. If that's all you need to be happy, you can snag yours now for $13.27. Just don't be alarmed when guests begin making up excuses to bounce approximately 3.9 seconds after seeing this on the kitchen table, okay?[Via OhGizmo]
GDC08: An evening with Will Wright minus friends (video)
I applied for, and received an invitation to 'An Evening with Will Wright and Friends', held in Mezzanine, a swanky club in San Francisco's SOMA district on Thursday evening. I didn't know what exactly to expect, but I knew two things: 1) It wasn't going to be about Spore, and 2) It was Will Freaking Wright. How did I know Spore wasn't on the offering? 'Cause we're all kind of Spore'd out, aren't we?I was right about the lack of Spore, but was pleasantly surprised and gratified to hear Will speak on a variety of topics -- James Bond, cosmonauts, Gilligan's Island as the predecessor of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comics, Godzilla, Care Bears, Lost, Walt Disney, Battlestar Galactica, Spiderman, and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance -- before finally wrapping it all up with the observation that the stories that resonate with us are deconstructible; we can reduce them to components, and using those components, build our own stories. Finally, accepting questions from the audience, I asked him what advice he'd give NASA as they create their MMO. His friends never showed up, but man, Will Wright is always worth a listen. He knows his stuff so well and is such a wonderful speaker ... check out the video I shot after the break, and you'll see what I mean.
WoW Moviewatch: WOW Snow Miser
rocko1016 must be feeling nostalgic. He put together a machinima based on a character, Snow Miser, from the 1974 Christmas movie, The Year Without Santa Claus. In the movie, Snow Miser has the ability to control the weather to make it cold all over Earth, but in the machinima, he can control it in Azeroth. The video itself doesn't consist of much, but the timing and animations are great! It reminds me of my childhood, spent watching the Care Bears battle Professor Coldheart.Previously on Moviewatch...
