Why not, right?

I often wonder about the days when augmented reality will really take hold. We’ll all be walking around in our own bubble-world, digital projections glancing our every sight. Three-dimensional advertisements beamed directly into our skull-plates, transmissions of Twitter updates taking hold in our field of vision. Well, Keiichi Matsuda has created a couple of videos that picture this world in such gorgeous detail that I’ve sat here slack-jawed watching them both several times.

Hit the jump for both of the videos, as well as more information on the maestro behind them.

Geeks have spoken. They care about very particular things. Like, Duke Nukem Forever blow jobs.

Andy Helms is apparently a gorgeous guru of Star Wars prints. If you dig these sons a bitches and you’re not broke like my dumb ass, you can buy them here.

God damn. You guys know I love a lot of things, but there are seldom things I love more than both the original Bioshock, and retro-future art and universes. Well Jesus Christ, the covers to this month’s Game Informer bring the two together in ways that may cause inappropriate orgasming.

The three covers reveal the Handyman the Bioshock Infinite equivalent of the Big Daddy, as well as advertisements for what may be the equivalent of plasmids called Vigors. Who knows. The covers are ornate beyond reason, and total porn for geeks like me.

Hit the jump to check out the covers.

Devin Townsend just released a video preview from the sessions for Ghost, the final component of his four-album DTP sequence. From his YouTube channel, Townsend explains:

So this is record 4 of the dtp, but I’m recording it third, because Deconstruction (3) is a nightmare technically and I wanted to make something lovely before diving into that.
There are a number of guests on the album, but the core is me, Dave Young (Keyboards) Mike St-Jean (Drums) and the fabulous Kat Epple of flute.

I’m about 2 weeks into this one, and I’ve got about a month and a half more work to do if I keep my schnoz to the grindstone.

I’ll keep you posted…

Oh yeah, please remember (and tell your friends…):

THIS IS NOT THE HEAVY ALBUM, that one is next…but they both get released simultaneously so all us misanthropes will have something to vent with before reading a National Geo to Ghost.

Above picture taken as the storm rages on, not an hour ago. As per usual, the Milk Moms and Old Ladies are vindicated for their non-perishables hoarding and general hysteria. I’m typing this from the eye of the storm, begging Jesus Allah to let me live.

God damn, I wish I was at PAX. Duke Nukem Forever is there, as his legions of my fellow geeks. I want to be basking in your musk and manipulating precious things with you. But I cannot. So I’m riding coat tails. Stephen Totilo over at Kotaku snapped a shit load of Duke Nukem Forever screens. They’re glorious. Hit the jump to check them out.

As you may or may not know, I’m a pretty big fan of the universe. And one of those reasons is the staggering relativity it presses upon us. Check out Hurricane Earl from space, as its enormity is captured like a sexy son of a bitch. [Then contemplate how despite how enormous this may look, neither Earl nor Earth is anything of impressive size in comparison to bullshit in our own solar system.]

A good god damn! I’m pretty fucking stoked about Duke Nukem Forever being resurrected. And as impressions are trickling in from PAX today, it’s become evident that The Duke is as absurd, ridiculous, sexist, and filthy as ever.

In other words, I’m excited. Let’s go through some of the utter absurdity found in the demo.

Kotaku:

The demo starts with a first person view of the urinal. You can make Duke urinate as much as you want. The wait is over!

Cue the Duke Nukem Forever logo and a camera pulls back to show that Duke, in first-person, was playing a video game. He’s got a gold Xbox 360 controller with the face buttons re-named as D, U, K and E. There’s a busty lady in a schoolgirl outfit near the bottom of your first-person view. And there’s a second one. One stands up and wipes her mouth.

P.S. The trailer being shown behind closed doors for the game includes strippers and a three breasted giant monster. Of the latter, Duke says, “Hell, I’d still hit it.”

Blowjobs, metatextual references to a game within a game, three-breasted monsters, and enormous guns. This game was designed by some sort of Dimension X version of me, where I can crunch math and program video games. Of this I am certain.
