Schöne Horror-Steampunk-Installation, die die Jungs von Death to the Flippers in ihrer Garage gebaut haben.

It took about 18 months of tinkering in the garage to build it, we’ve been planning and designing it since way before. There’s one top secret bit of kit we had to build first to enable the the machine to travel between scenes. The whole set is only in a normal sized double garage.

One of the most time consuming bits of the build was the brick walls in old London, each brick hand carved from polystyrene, that might have been a mistake.

Via Engadget.com: “Seriously, words cannot describe how incredibly entertained we are by this Mario Live wallpaper for Android 2.1 and above devices. All across the home and locked screen, our favorite Italian faux-plumber protagonist runs through randomly-generated levels across various themes like outside, underground, and castle. It’s very customizable, allowing you to change the level’s difficulty, see the alternate paths Mario’s AI has plotted, and rendering the background (all at a cost to CPUs and battery life, of course). Free download — donations suggested, of course — and if you’re looking for a way to stare at your phone even longer, well, look no further. Videos through which you can live vicariously are after the break.”

Diese fantastischen und noch dazu handgemachten Jules Verne Buchcover hab ich vorhin bei Laughingsquid entdeckt. Hier noch ein Zitat der Site:

“For his senior thesis project at the University of the Arts, illustrator Jim Tierney created a series of beautiful new cover designs for four classic Jules Verne novels: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in 80 Days, and From the Earth to the Moon. Interactive without being gimmicky, each jacket features a unique construction, while still clearly remaining part of a cohesive whole.”

Ich bin ein großer Steampunk Fan! Das Netz hat in dem Bereich in letzter Zeit viel zu bieten, aber meine Kategorie “Steam” fristet seit beginn meines Blogs ein tristes, dampfendes Schattendasein… Bis Heute… Die Fusion iPhone (das eventuell in diesem Blog schon mal erwähnt wurde) und Steam History ist ein passender Grund…
