Check out this great video showing how board games are made in a Chinese factory.

The holidays have never known the power of the dark side... until now.

Jimmy Fallon and The Roots join Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Lupita Nyong'o, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford for an acappella tribute to "Star Wars."

Looks like Cap and Stark are at odds over the Winter Soldier more than the Super Human Registration Act ... still, it gives them both motive. Looks filth too.

As last week was the 25th anniversary of A Tribe called Quest's debut LP, People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, so it was a no brainer to talk about this LP. At the time, rap was dominated with tracks about hoes and gang violence and then along came this new sound (Native Tongues) and a new breed of rapper with artists like Jungle Brothers, Queen Latifah and De La Soul. Even their clothes ... no tracksuits or a gold chain in sight.

Standout tracks off this LP were this of course the hits, "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" and "Can I Kick It ?" (which the band never saw any money due to label's mismanagement of the Lou Reed sample) but "Luck Of Lucien"'s jazzy french vibe and "Description of a Fool"'s flow were personal favs.

And they've just released this box set, which "the newly remastered album over eight vinyl small hole 45s, with unique artwork on each one along side a new bonus track (‘If The Papes Come (Remix)’) and three other songs not included on the original release. It all comes snuggly packed in a carrying case illustrated with the album’s original artwork." Want 1

Cracking Safes with your friends in Burgle Bros. #tabletop #boardgaming #burglebros

My good friend Mike brought around this new game he got direct from the creator, Tim Fowler, a co-operative 1-4 player board game called Burgle Bros. which consisting of either 2 or 3 floors made up of revealable tiles. It's kinda like Monaco or Invisible Inc as a board game. It has some great mechanics (guard movement is brilliant) and is lots of fun.

More unseen footage of #StarWars in the form of a TV ad. Every generation has a story.

Ooooh a Japanese International trailer of #StarWars with more bits (including C-3PO) we haven't seen before ...

#dnb Getting stuck into some of my favourite tunes of 2015 including tracks from Viper presents Drum & Bass Summer Slammers 2015. Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot !

Liquid and Lynx are the flavours featured in this hour #dnb mix.

The second LP by BDP aka Boogie Down Productions was By All Means Necessary. This LP was famous for it's PSA hits "Stop the Violence", "Illegal Business" and "Jimmy", but for me, "Ya Slippin'" with KRS-One's countdown from 10, still gives me chills and "I'm Still #1", tells everyone what time it is.

When I bought this LP in my early teens, I recorded it onto a cassette tape and would play it non-stop on my walkman, as I travelled to and from school. It was so fresh and politically minded. It was also the first time I remember thinking that musically, I was in a different world to everyone else I knew.

Kung Fury is an over-the-top 80’s action comedy that was crowd funded through Kickstarter. It features Kung Fury, a Kung Fu renegade cop who travels back in time to kill his Nemesis, Hitler. The film features nazis, dinosaurs, vikings and cheesy one-liners.

Old school with a new school take with Fokuz Recordings LP - Roots & Herbs Volume 1 and a couple of randoms.

Space Colony is one of my all time favourite games. I bought the original - loved it and played it every year until they bought out Space Colony HD. I then continued to play it each year at Christmas and now Firefly Studios have released a new enhanced version for Steam.

"This remastered version of Space Colony features a brand new campaign, Steam Workshop support, achievements, trading cards and Steam Cloud for saved games.

Space Colony: Steam Edition is the definitive version of the sci-fi base builder for fans of the original, the builder genre and the Stronghold series, with which it shares DNA in both gameplay and an irreverent sense of humour."

Over an hour of the best liquid dnb by Carlo EQ, Funkware, Malaky and other Liquid Tones artists.

Check out Marvel's latest reboot, sorry, reimagining of Fantastic Four. Being a big fan of the Ultimate Fantastic Four comic, I have to say I'm a little let down by this trailer. I'm actually thinking the Ioan Gruffudd version looks better.

Awesome stuff.

Marvel's latest TV spot for Avengers II makes this movie look so damn cool ... and did I see a magnetic cap shield ?!? Giddy.

I think the kids will eat this up ... at least it should be better than the last remake.

It was also great to hear Peter Dyneley (Jeff Tracy) do the countdown and it makes me want to listen to "Beat Dis" by Bomb the Bass.

Sneak peak of Vision, Banner and Natasha about to get it on and more kick ass action in trailer #3.

It will be released in the US on the 19th June, 2015.

I feel like I've made it. The game I wrote for Ludum Dare 31, Dr Blake and the Singular Screen, was reviewed by the Button Masher Bros.

Listen to the guys talk about the fappening and my game. They really loved Blake's samples and that was certainly one of the funniest aspects when making it.

Gonna have a crack at this on the weekend ...

Update: Here's mine - different colour scheme, different desk legs and I added a plant :)

The Crew launches 3rd December, 2014 ... can't wait.

#InterstellarMarines 2 x Co-Op and SP maps, as well as brand new stealth options.

Back in February this year, Extra Credits did an excellent video on the phenomenon known as Simulation (or Simulator) Sickness. As a friend of mine recently got an Oculus Rift, and another has one in the mail, I tried it out and suffered from this reverse motion sickness, so I found this video to be very useful.

Should be interesting to see their follow-up video next year.

Currently in it's 12th year, Ludum Dare (latin for "to give a game") is a two-part event, the compo (solo 48hrs) and the jam (solo/team 72hrs) to create a game based around a theme, which was announced on the weekend - Connected Worlds.

I use to love playing with the typewriter when I was a kid, so mechanical. I don't miss having to change the ribbon or when you made a mistake.

Ronan the Accuser from Guardians of the Galaxy, Green Goblin from Spider-Man, and Loki, God of Mischief from The Avengers have just been revealed as playable characters in the new Marvel Disney Infinity 2.0.

Check out the official video for Next Level by Bop, taken from his new LP - Punk's Not Dead (Med School Music)

It's not the best track, One Way to Mars is probably my favourite, however, it's the sampling of the Galaga extra ship music that makes it interesting. Nicely done.

Along with the LP, you can play the Bop 8bit (Unity Engine) video game - Bop's Quest.

He does it every year at Comic-Con, this year, Adam Savage (Mythbusters) debuts a costume he has been working on for almost a decade: the space suit from Ridley Scott's Alien!

Mad Max: Fury Road has been in development since 2003 and today at Comic Con, it's first trailer was made available. Personally, I like to pretend that Max Mad III never happened; it seems as though Fury Road takes it's look from that movie. At least, George Miller is back to making the movies that earned him respect.

Also, with music by Junkie XL, how could it not be cool ?

Check out Disney’s new animated series, in which the republic has fallen.

The voice cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr., Taylor Gray, Steve Blum (my all time fav voice actor), Tiya Sircar, Vanessa Marshall, Jason Isaacs, David Oyelowo and Billy Dee Williams - yep Lando himself.

I think this might have been better if it compared either the old movies with the new movie or the old cartoon vs the new cartoon. Anyway, the reactions, as usual, are good.

MetroGnome is back. This time taking on the Game of Thrones theme song.

He's got 99 problems, but a switch ain't one. Weird Al parodies Australian rapper Iggy Azalea's "Fancy".

Weird Al has a big dictionary and he's back to school you, this time parodying Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams (again - let's face it, he is an easy target) "Blurred Lines".

Great video of Weird Al parodying American singer Pharrell Williams' "Happy".

On the weekend, GovHack 2014 took place over a 48 hour period at The Cube QUT Gardens Point campus.

Unfortunately, I only made it through 2 of the days and was out sick for the final and last day. So, what did I learn over the course of the weekend ?

1. It was fun.
   
   Working on a project as a team is something I rarely get to do. I do all my coding on my own, it is only at work on manual labour jobs were I will get or give assistance.
   
   The group of guys I was working with I knew only through random contacts when they were at UQ (where I work). I believe that due to their working on projects at university together and with deadlines, this in turn helped them to manage their time and work on the projects.
   
   So, it's rare for me to conceptualise, write and release something in a weekend. I usually take weeks to craft and polish the apps I work on.


2. Government data is malformed.
   
   Hindsight is a great thing and it was only after the aftermath of GovHack, that I realised the data is, for lack of a better word, bad. Sure it might be available in RSS or CSV -- parsing these wasn't the issue; it was the additional data that was not required (requiring sifting through) or were extensions of RSS or were data dumped into one column, which then required additional parsing.
   
   The experienced members of my team, 1 worked on the front end, 1 on the back end setup and another on massaging and "fixing" the data, so when he was done, the coders would have a nice clean flow of data to use.
   
   This is where I should have concentrated my efforts early on, as once you start coding, you can't really go back or change direction in a hurry.


3. Don't pick something that's too big.
   
   Also don't be afraid to do what some others consider boring. On the Friday night, the brainstorming happens. Lots of ideas are thrown around, some good, some bad, some crazy but the best thing to do is have an idea that you can start to flesh out and be ready to start working on Saturday. This is what happened with the 3 other people I was working with, except we had come up with two ideas. It wasn't until the Saturday morning that I found out that the other 3 people were working on one of the ideas, which left nothing for me to do, except play around with the second idea.
   
   If I had known this was going to be the case, I might have gone with one of the original ideas that was shot down for being "too boring". It might have been boring, but it was also achievable.


4. Don't stay too late.
   
   I think this was my downfall, as I didn't get home on the Friday/Saturday night til after midnight. Walking 2-3kms in less then 4C temperatures, wasn't the best move, since I was up early the next morning and back at it for a full day. If I could do it again, I would go home earlier on the Friday and get a good rest for the coming Saturday and Sunday.
   
   I also wouldn't stay so late on Saturday night either. I think next time, I would have go home around 5/6pm, had dinner, worked on the rest of the project from home and then come in early Sunday to finish it off / do the presentation video.

Will I do it again next year ? It's very tempting ... I guess we'll just have to see.

Never owned one, but I did use to play Tetris on a friend's Game Boy all the time.

The Usual Suspects do a great job of mashing up the feel of Guardians (#gotg) with classic Star Wars. And for bonus points, here's a new one using the Prequels:-


If you don't know what Guardians of the Galaxy is, you should watch these trailers first.

I'm going to drill a hole but first, let me take a #selfie.

Get even more Guardians of the Galaxy in a new extended look at the film, in Aussie theatres August 7th.

Good to see the movie with a traditional soundtrack rather than old rock hits.

Just 2 episodes to go in Yowamushi Pedal Season 1, so I thought I'd post up the official video of "Reclimb" by ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D -- the best opening music song the show has had. Pity it was only for the first 12 eps.
