Star Wars; The new trilogy: Amazing review
SanderElastique
Star WarsW maybe The ForceW that binds us, NerdsW. Mr. Plinkett tells us why the new Star Wars Trilogy is so bad compared to the original trilogy. By using his thorough knowledge of film-theory & narration, he painfully dissects the mishaps of the new Trilogy. I embedded the The Phantom MenaceW as a teaser, for all the reviews, go over to RedLetterMedia. A must see IMHOW!

Life is like a video game

In this really interesting TEDxW talk from Seth Priebatsch, the Chief Ninja @ SCVNGR (a game-layer on top of the “real” world). In his talk he explaines how these real-life game mechanics work. Interesting stuff. He states that this decade was the decade of social and the coming decade the decade of games. Enemy RC-XD spotted!

Lego+AR+Interactivity=Epic Experience FTW!
SanderElastique
IntelW‘s Research Lab has come up with a awesome idea to incorporate in toys. By using a KinectW like camera they can see shapes and give them contextual interaction with their environment.
This experiment gives a glimpse into the future which is really interesting. Are we going to shape all our experiences with rich interactive programmed content or is this a logical step in evolution? Anyhoe good busy Intel, it makes me think.
