The Adventures of Mark Twain

October 1st 2008 02:11


This clip is from a fantastic curiosity, an 80’s children’s claymation series featuring Mark Twain, disenchanted with humanity, riding in a balloon with the intent to plunge it into Haley’s comet, with whose appearance he was born.

He is accompanied by Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn and Becky Thatcher, who wish to persuade him to return to Earth – if they don’t succeed they too will share Twain’s fate.

Though the above clip wasn’t included in the finished product (it is available on the DVDs deleted scenes) it is indicative of the sometimes very adult, and intelligent content of the series. Many of Twains works and quotes are intertwined in the series to fantastic effect.

Aerogel is Awesome

The lightest solid on the planet, the best insulating material in existence, areogel is basically a foam that’s made from gel that replaces water with air. The video says it a bit better.

If you’re like me (good grief! What a stupid thing to say. If you’re like me? Of course you’re not; why wold you be? Anyway…) you’re not a terrible fan of video games but you can appreciate them as a bit of fun with mates.

Howver, I here present the video series, Zero Punctuation, by Yahtzee, that makes games interesting to people who really don’t care

Banksy Spotting

June 2nd 2008 00:01
When I went to England, I was expecting to be able to find Banksy here, there and everywhere. Despite being in London, one of the favourite Bansky spotting locations, this simply isn't the case, as most of Banksy's work is confined to dark alleys, tunnels, corners and other places that your everyday London tourist is unlikley to wander down. Additionally, anything that IS big and public gets taken away so quickly that you'd never see it.

Launchball

Anyone who enjoys mind puzzles will undoubtably enjoy LAUNCHBALL, a game resembling 'The Incredible Machine', where you must guide a ball through several obsticles. The best part of it though, is that you get to make you own levels. Cool hey?
