Exciting Things And Stuff

[andrewducker]

I am looking forward to Borderlands 2 _a lot_, and this video just has me even more excited:

A hands-on with a chunk of the game reveals more info here.

Nick sent me this via email this morning:

Which is the second music video I've seen recently that I was impressed by (the first being the Amanda Palmer one in today's link post). Are there lots of awesome music videos out there I'm just not aware of?

And then this, which nicely illustrates that the only constant is change:


And lastly, I love this house:

You can see more by the same designer here.

(Tasks managed this morning: paid photographer, paid DJ, deleted 70-odd emails. Still to-do: delete 200 more emails, wash lots of clothes, eat lunch, buy food so that I can eat lunch.)

Re the house: It's nice, but is it Architecture?

(I'm afraid that my response was 'but the roof would leak'.)

I think the houses are Photoshopped, alas?

I call shenannigans. Definitely photoshopped.

If they were truly higgledy-piggeldy, we'd expect to see some concavity to the edges. They're purely convex: there's only outside corners, no inside corners. Either the house would have to be arranged to present a purely convex shape *to exactly this viewing angle* (very very hard indeed), or it's been shopped (very very easy indeed).

A little bit of closer inspection shows that perfectly circular sections of the image have been rotated. Photoshop^TM.

Oh, heh, the linked article basically says as much.

Fine.

But it's not art. Nor design. It's just... cheap.

And _awesome_.
