The Current Evolution of Online and Offline Gaming

© Tom Atkinson 2011

Last Saturday I attended an event in Bristol (this is the original one, in England by the way) called igfest, which stands for interesting games festival.

The proposition a bunch of grownups to play a lot of different games together;  running, dancing, bouncing balls, dressing up, squirting water pistols, shouting and laughing… and basically turning the city into one giant playground. [Read more...]

I’ll say it loud and proud… I dig comedy in a world that is often far too cynical.

I also enjoy seriously good and well-crafted writing.

Both pleasures are somewhat subjective to my tastes but one thing that no social media enthusiast can argue with is that the @BronxZoosCobra is pretty funny and a damn good writer to boot.

Let’s review this scenario analytically … the ‘BronxZoosCobra’ Twitter account started Monday March 28th, 2011; he’s currently at 240,000+ followers, has a Facebook Fan Page lobbying for him to be the next SNL host and he’s tweeted a TOTAL of 101 times to date.

Have you seen this online?

By: Louise Whitehill, guest blogger

If there’s one thing that springs to mind when you mention Sex and the City, it’s fashion. Over the top, completely indulgent, fabulous fashion.

Over six seasons and two movies, the show has had a mega influence on style. It’s had us all drooling in envy for must haves like Manolo Blahnik stilettos, the Hermes Birkin bag (remember when Samantha used Lucy Liu’s name to get on top of the waiting list?), the iconic name necklace and huge flower accessories.

Sex and the City 2, the sequel we never believed was coming, premieres next week.

In honour of the release, let’s look back at [Read more...]

Ageism Photoshopped to Death: More “Sex and the City 2″ Promo Images

Dudes and dudettes, seriously W.T.F.

Is there not one, single Sex & the City 2 movie poster or promotional image out there that hasn’t been Photoshopped beyond recognition?

At least with the first film (above), there was some sort of continuity with the brand, the women and well pink. Now [Read more...]

Too Carried Away in Another Sex & the City 2 Photoshop Disaster

second poster

Lots of women across the United States are getting geared up to get “Carried Away” this summer with the release of the HBO franchise, Sex & the City, in the second film installment of the popular television show.

Well, it seems like the graphic design team got carried away too because the third poster stinks as much as the first one did in some not so smart photoshopping. I’m sorry, but I don’t think Adobe ever intended Photoshop to be used in such a deplorable fashion.

It’s no secret, that [Read more...]

Bad PR: Sex & The City 2 Official Trailer & The Poster Stinks

Carrie On or Get Carried Away…again. Whatever. All the new promo stuff for Sex & the City has me in a foul mood because it’s so bad.

Right, so, I hate the new promo poster with Sarah Jessica Parker behind what seems like a bunch of ghetto reflects & her bug eye shades. It’s gross and so not SATC. What could have been really cool, looks really lame. [Read more...]

{iStyle} What will you be wearing this Fall?

By: Jenn Ortiz, guest blogger


Fall 2009 RTW and Couture collections have been presented, and a bit of analysis is in order.

Overall, looks are stronger and more dramatic. Puff sleeves and stronger shoulders with cinched waists, invoking the 1950′s and 1980′s; however, this influence is presented in a more modern and softer way. Come Fall, there will be bolero jackets and some boxier cut jackets and coats showing up on the racks. For the most part, hem lines were shown high (or non existent as the pantless look continues). Draping was used, most interestingly, in shorter dresses and less like the grecian goddess draping of the past. You’ll see a mix of modern with revived and revised classics. We’ve seen embellishment, luxurious fabrics, mixed with torn and deconstructed or unconventional and casual. Old-fashioned lingerie, hats, and gloves are reinterpreted and mixed into outfits. Much of what is presented here can be added to a basic wardrobe easily. There are plenty of opportunities to thrift, buy vintage, and DIY. Below are my picks for Fall/Winter ’09 trends.
