Whilst crawling along the outer edges of the internet (it's a Mondo world out there in cyberspace, after all), BoingBoing ran across this story from the Fortean Times about "Aeronauts of the Future," strange sightings of flying dudes that seem... familiar. Brad Pitt, I mean, Will would be right at home amongst these various winged men and hovering platforms. Also, am I the only person who actually remembers seeing the flying platform to the right on That's Incredible?
Gamespot's On The Spot featured not one but TWO awesome Capcom titles last week. First up, Mel and Matt stop by their studios for a live 2 player co-op demo of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles on the Wii at 5:50 into the show. Hey, if they can play that well from big, weird chairs, imagine what an awesome shot you'll be from the comfort of your own game cave. Next up, Shana gives a zippy fly-through of Dark Void from the Tesla event held in the Bay Area. Ooo, "god of the skies," I like that phrase. Thanks for the love, Gamespot!
After letting you know last week that Dark Void will be jetting into 2010 (see what I did there?), I noticed that the official site had been updated with some cool 3D models of some in-game gizmos and weaponry. FACT: the only thing better than a rotating 3D model of a jetpack is a rotating 3D EXPLODED VIEW of a jetpack. How great is this? Check out the jetpack, helmet and two weapons here.
Wow, Bear McCreary is only 30! I was still working on riding a bike without training wheels at 30 and he's already composed one of the best soundtracks to ever grace a television show (Battlestar Galactica, duh) as well as the score for an amazing video game (Dark Void, double-duh). The San Francisco Examiner talks with Bear about his work and pumps us up for Dark Void, describing the music as much more "playful" than Battlestar's dark, military themes. He also discusses Caprica a bit, which will be exciting to Battlestar fans. Check out the interview for more.
