Primero, una demostración del increíble My Mystery UFO:

Luego, a salivar, ser buenos y a pedirle uno a los Reyes Magos…

Finalmente, el vídeo sobre cómo funciona en Ikkaro, que es donde lo vi pasar (vídeo #2).

Escape From City 17 – Part Two

Escape From City 17 – Part Two

It's been two-and-a-half years since "Escape From City 17 – Part One" was released by David and Ian Purchase, but as promised in Feb 2009, when we said we'd let you know when part two came out, here is the sequel.

A story about the connection that grows between two people during the battle for city 17. Made in the same gritty guerrilla style as the original, it was made on a $250 budget, previously owned/donated software, time, and an HVX200 camera.

It's been a long wait, but on that kind of budget, it's understandable. The Escape From City 17 films are adaptations of Half-Life, and despite their ridiculously inadequate budget, are extremely well made. If you didn't see Part One, check it out here, then come back and see the new installment.

Build Your Own da Vinci Catapult

Build Your Own da Vinci Catapult

If you want your kid to be creative, you can teach him or her about Leonardo da Vinci geek-style by building this weapon of mini destruction, AKA da Vinci Catapult. Jonathan Liu of Geek Dad built one:

The kit, which includes everything you need to assemble and fire the catapult (except for a tape measure), takes roughly an hour to assemble and then can be used to launch a small clay ball or other small objects. It's a combination of two designs drawn by da Vinci in the Codex Atlanticus, using bent wood rather than twisted ropes for the energy needed to launch the projectiles.

Computers Can Now Tell If You’re Nice or Mean [Video]

Can't get a date, fellow geeks? Perhaps it's your face. No, we not putting you down: it's just that people are known to make snap judgments on whether other people are nice or mean, trustworthy or a crook, competent or inept in the first fraction of a second upon seeing their faces.

Now, computer scientists have created a software that can do this, too: [Source]
