Friday's Click the Link

Costas's picture

As a new regular post, every Friday i will be providing you with links to articles, videos and pictures that i found interesting over the course of the week. The links, as you can see below, will not be restricted to games.

If you happen to find or know anything that you feel is worthwhile please feel free to email me at costas.taliadoros@gmail.com and i will try and include them in future Friday's Click the Link.

Enjoy your weekend!

1. The gaming world was shaken when the OnLive service was demonstrated at this year's GDC. A service that allows the streaming of games through a small box. Eurogamer has an excellent article Why OnLive Can't Possibly Work while Bill Harris over at Dubious Quality writes about what this technology means to games prices and publishers' profit margins. Link

2. An amazing video about Dolphins and their bubbles (Not the kind you are thinking of...). Link

3. The Watchmen movie has basically come and gone. This article tries to explain why the creator of the comic book does not approve the adaptation of comics to movies and the author of the article reaches a very personal decision. Link

4. Teens capture images of space with £56 camera and balloon. The first Link is how they accomplished this incredible feat and the second Link the pictures they managed to take.

5. Top 10 Sexually Charged Late Night Interviews Of All Time. Drew Barrymore's flashing at Letterman should have been the No.1. Link

6. An artistic version of the life cycle of an apple seed. Link

7. Two links dedicated to Far Cry 2, a first person shooter i thoroughly enjoyed. The first link is to The Brainy Gamer's comments on the excellent soundtrack of the game which also has a Youtube audio. Link

The second is on a behind the scenes article which featured in a special Games Developers Conference issue of Game Developer magazine. Link

8. A fantastic article on the level of depth we explore each game, especially in recent times where the supply of games has geometrically increased.

"There is a danger for the games writer, as for the consumer who is addicted to gaming as a community pursuit, that we can never fully commit to a game lest we are left behind, snagged on a title over which the zeitgeist passed a few weeks ago." Link

Re: Friday's Click the Link

I enjoyed the dolphins bubbles video. I'm gonna try it out myself soon enough judging by the weather. Anybody wanna go swimming?

Well done to the teens and the great pictures they managed to procure.
