Warren Ellis’s Webcomics Week Explored – Part 1

May 19, 2009May 20, 2009 Paul L webcomics7 Comments

What do you get when you select all the webcomics artists who follow a certain foulmouthed comics writer by the name of Warren Ellis (of Transmetropolitan fame, and currently writing FreakAngels and Ignition City)? When such selection is jumpstarted by Ellis putting out the call personally on Twitter, you get a motherfucking kickass webcomics roundup thread, that’s what. It’s not the first time he’s done this, but the collection appears to be snowballing. I’ve only tackled the first three-odd pages of the thread so far in my reading and in…

Globalive leaked phone plans… AKA was Alex right about blurry cam conspiracies

May 19, 2009July 25, 2009 Doug Groves Globalive12 Comments

A poster over at Howard Forums, one of the biggest message boards for all things mobile phones, has leaked a number of stills, plus the planned rates for emerging new Canadian wireless carrier Globalive, who bought up a lot of spectrum in the Canadian airwaves auctions not to long ago. The poster claims that he’s doing this because he was let go from the company, but I’ll get to that in a paragraph.. Among the details? Globalive will be carrying some high end fare, such as the HTC G1 and…

Punch Out for Wii – Little Mac hits the Streets of Toronto

May 17, 2009May 20, 2009 drsquid Nintendo, Wii4 Comments

On a cold Sunday night near Bloor and Bathurst in Toronto, Nintendo set up an outdoor projector and a wii showing off the new Punch Out! for Wii….I shot this a little late, so the crowd was small… As for the quality of footage…well one thing for me to remember in the future with an HD capable camera is when you leave the memory card in your computer it records to the camera’s miniscule internal memory – at QVGA resolution only 🙁

Left 4 Dead SDK Beta released

May 17, 2009May 18, 2009 Doug Groves L4D6 Comments

In episode 15 we talked a little bit about Valve’s update to the best zombie game ever made, Left 4 Dead. In that episode, which you can see on blip.tv here, we also mention one of the most anticipated user created maps Dead Before Dawn, which is largely based on the Dawn Of The Dead remake. Unfortunately, that campaign and many others have been waiting for Valve to release it’s authoring tools. Well, that wait is almost over, as the Software Developer Kit has been gone beta, which means that…

May 15, 2009May 15, 2009 Doug Groves bioshock0 comment

Jordan Thomas, creative director of Bioshock 2, gives you a 9 minute walkthrough of the upcoming sequel in this video presented by IGN. In it, you’ll get a glimpse of one of the new baddies, the Big Sister. In the new game, you get to play the role of the original Big Daddy, which lets you play around with the Plasmid tool. For those uninitiated to the world of Bioshock, all you need to know is that you have a giant drill for a right hand.

Windows Mobile 7 hardware specs?

May 12, 2009September 14, 2009 Doug Groves multitouch, tegra, Windows Mobile, Xbox Live, Zune7 Comments

We don’t engage in too much speculation here at rgbFilter headquarters (all right we do, we don’t generally post about it though), but over the past few months, there’s been a lot of talk about Microsoft’s Project Pink, which could be a Zune phone, or a software/services platform for future Windows Mobile devices. Heck, some rumours have even floated about Xbox Live integration including gaming. In any case, it appears that the minimum specs for Windows Mobile 7 have been leaked by none other than Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet,…

Rogers brings Android to Canada with HTC Magic and G1

May 7, 2009 Doug Groves Android, G1, HTC, Magic5 Comments

Rogers is teasing the Canadian smart phone public (you’ll have to pick your province when you click the link because Rogers is SO down with web design) with a live countdown to announce the arrival of Google Android phones to the Great White North. Not only are they getting the HTC G1 with the sliding keyboard, but they’re also getting the slightly slimmer keyboard free HTC Magic. This comes just a day after Bell announced the Palm Pre coming to Canada later this year, which leaves only Telus to bring…

Palm Pre to launch on Bell Mobility in Canada

May 6, 2009May 7, 2009 Doug Groves palm, Palm Pre24 Comments

Word came down today that Palm’s last great hope will be coming exclusively to Bell Mobility in Canada. This isn’t really a surprise, given that Bell has always had a better selection of Palm devices than Canada’s other major CDMA carrier Telus. Just like the original announcement of it on Sprint, they’re being very cagey with the release date, saying nothing more than the 2nd half of 2009. When Palm announced the Sprint deal at the beginning of the year, all they stated was that it would be the first…

Plants vs Zombies, a game

May 6, 2009 drsquid cute, games, Zombies8 Comments

If the name alone doesn’t convince you that this is possibly the greatest game of all time, then know this – Plants vs Zombies is from those fine purveyors of digital crack – PopCap games – the creators of Peggle ! If you still need more convincing you can read a review here. You can download the FREE trial for the PC (only, so far) here. If that wasn’t enough PopCap has created an AWESOME theme song for the game…
