FrankenGame inFAMOUS looks like it might be fun
Far be it from the lads at rgbFilter to pander to the whims of the game development community, but since we freely admit that we have yet to accept dime one from ANY game developer (or to be honest, anyone at all, much to Alex’s chagrin), I can honestly say that this preview I’m about to write comes from a place of total discretion and honesty. And that preview is simply this: inFAMOUS looks fucking awesome. InFAMOUS Channels the essences of some of my fave time-wasters of the past few…
Read More7 Summer Movies I can’t wait to see
Wolverine has come and gone, Star Trek is a mere 2 days away, and it looks like John Connor and Optimus Prime are poised to duke it out over who will own the summer blockbuster season of 2009. Of course, I’m excited about all of the above (Wolverine notwithstanding), but it’s important to note that this year’s summer movie season looks to bear some interesting fruit. A quick stumble through Quicktime’s Trailers site lead me to conclude that these are the top 7 movies I feel like I really shouldn’t…
Read More[TFLN] will never let you live down your shameful drunken deeds
[TFLN]: TXTS FRM LST NGHT is a new-ish site with a mission to keep a record of a phenomenon that’s likely familiar to all of us on some level. Remember that time you havered your ex because it was 4 in the morning and you just had to get something off your chest? Ya that’s kind of the idea. From the site: Texts From Last Night (TFLN) was founded in February 2009 by two friends for reasons that may or may not include: the tendency to press send more easily…
Read MoreToronto one of the top 10 most photographed cities on Earth
According to LIFE Magazine, Toronto has joined the ranks of Barcelona, New York City, Tokyo, and 6 other large cities as the most photographed in the world. LIFE’s process was not particularly scientific, but still telling, in that it appears that the stats come from casual or amateur photographers and not necessarily from any corporate-sponsored initiative: A glance at the list of Flickr’s all time most popular tags reveals that a handful of cities are consistantly photographed by the users of the popular photo hosting site. Check out the stream…
Read MoreApple’s App Store: the continuing misadventures, this time through the Downward Spiral
Sometimes it feels like we here at rgbFilter are just banging the drum slowly when it comes to Apple and the App Store. As we’ve reported time and time again, the App store’s walled-garden app system sports an approval process that makes some people raise an eyebrow and ask “huh” (or in my case, shout out “WTF??”). But now their selection process has negatively affected the very entity Apple has always professed to protect: the artist. Explicit language after the break.
Read MoreSamsung’s new line of BluRay players make the PS3 look like more and more of a bargain
Ask anyone who hasn’t bought a BluRay player yet why not and you’ll likely get the same response: They’re too expensive. And they’re right. With the cheapest player at Best Buy, the Samsung BDP1500, currently weighing in at $262.98, it seems the industry still has a while to go before they hit the $199 mark (the price point that many believe is the turning point for the global infiltration of a new media format). They’ve been popping up here and there, but they’re usually by brands like Vizio or Insignia…
Read MoreToronto’s own Enviroman wants Laurie David to curb his something-asm.
Could local comedian and writer Josh Rachlis be the next Jon Lajoie? In this video we see Josh’s alter-ego Enviroman put his balls on the interwebs in the hopes of landing an engagement kiss date free dinner with former Larry David spouse and Inconvenient Truth producer Laurie David. Apparently, being an environmentalist pays a lot better than being a regular everyday normal guy, if the production value in the video is any indication. Check out Josh’s other videos on his YouTube page here. .
Read MoreMIT sees dead people. Well, not really.
At last month’s annual TED conference, MIT’s Pattie Maes demoed what she called the new 6th Sense, which took the form of a wearable piece of tech that was able to translate your gestures and behaviour into functional and useable data. The uses for such a device are enormous, as you’ll see in the video, but the most fascinating part is that this is not simply theory but practical fact. At a cost of $350 “cobbled together” with “off the shelf parts” at an MIT lab, the device is not…
Read MoreMcG a kickass filmmaker? Get outta here…
The new Terminator Salvation trailer was released today. In it we see John Connor coming to terms with being the leader of the human resistance, the rise of the Cyborg terminator, and, most importantly, a glimpse of what appears to be a well-made, well-directed, action-packed, moving story with substance. I might have to take back some of what I’ve said about Mc “Charlie’s Angels” G, because if the film is half as good as the trailer….damn. Watch for yourself above or at Yahoo movies. .
Read MoreDon’t like the new Pepsi logo? Too bad, ‘cuz it’s the pinnacle of human achievement.
The thing about being a designer is, often times, you rely on your ability to sling piles of bullcrap in the hopes that some of it sticks and that the client will either believe you, or at least be baffled enough to not be bothered to counter your arguments and just sign the cheque with an exaggerated sigh. Never has this policy been illustrated so well as it has with the concept process that accompanied the new Pepsi logo. As Gawker succinctly puts it: “There’s no way the branding agency…
