Tokyo by Canon EOS 5D Mark II

This is apparently one of the very first video recorded with the yet to be released Canon EOS 5D Mark II, featuring areas of Tokyo in HD.

I'll have to admit I don't know much about cameras, but this video is just beautiful, be sure to check it out.

One week catch up

There we go for a fast overview of all I couldn't post, but really really wanted to, this last pretty busy week :

• Some pretty neat sofa designs
  
• A suicide game, how nice is that
• Halloween coming to your house with cute fluffy zombies
• A very great costume, almost good enough reason to have a kid
  
• Same theme, completely awesome stop motion video, with great music
• One the best office prank, another reason to kill to be in the game industry
• And last but definitely not least, the sleazy glamour geek link

Don't thank me, my pleasure (you can thank me actually).

Be scared, be very scared

Ok I have loads of posts hanging, but this one is funny enough not to wait;
Behold the RED RING OF DEATH CARVED PUMPKIN, the nemesis of all Xbox gamers, which have been scaring the shit out of them for years now (and it seems like it's not over yet).
This is funny but I admit it wasn't a year ago, when my second hand Xbox died after two months and I had no guarantee...
This is why, like many things (people ?) I'd love the console only if I didn't hate it so much ;)

Guide to understand girls...

...SMS's ! Definitely not a guide to understand them in general, as if it was possible ! This might reveal usefull anyway, especially if your girlfriend is 19 and sends you 50 messages a day... Indeed, depending on your age, sms might be most of your intime conversations !

Some of my clients are in the porn by sms industry, I'm wondering it that applies here... What if the girl (chat operator from the philippines) says "baby I'm so horny, I wish you were here...", does that mean she likes me ?

With girls you can never be sure, can you.

French version of the iBook is perfectly retarded

This is from Clubic.
Looks like Apple's french translation for a "Beautifully engineered, inside and out." iBook, is a "Perfectly retarded" iBook, in french "Parfaitement con" which is a pretty rude word for stupid, and, as Clubic says, might be "parfaitement conçu" trimed because of the french character. It is even more funny when you consider the next title on the page is "Intelligence Pure".

Now we all know french are despitefull people but then again, this is a bit harsh and been corrected now. Few.

Public lights, recycled energy powered

This looks pretty awesome to me. The lamp has been designed Sung Woo Park and Sunhee Kim, that sounds Korean, lemme check... Ah, can't find, but looks like the guys from Yanko Design are from at least Vietnam, Japan and USA...

Anyway, this concept of lights would use dead batteries, the ones you can't use in your regular electronic devices because they are too greedy on energy and instead throw them with the rubbish, even though you're not supposed to and that makes you feel guilty sometimes but in the end you don't care any more because you are fed up being told what you should and should not do all the time, as if you were a grown up child scold by advertising ten times a day because you're dirty, eat/drink/smoke/have sex too much and don't respect nature......

What was I saying again ? Ah yeah. Those lights would use everyone "dead" batteries, with different slots for different kinds, probably light parks I guess because they use low energy consumption light bulbs and you probably don't want that to light commercial center or road... But that's a pretty good idea, you waste less energy for the city lights, and people can just come and leave their used batteries there... Then again the problem is it still relies too much on people's will to bring dead batteries to the park and not put whatever cigarettes chewingum instead because you're a retard and find that Funny.

Comme promis ! (facebook catch up)

Ok so now it's english, because :

• You need it, you very numerous french readers
• Most of the links I'm passing on to you are in english anyway
• More importantly, I decided so

So here we go for a quick post, too much to sum up and no particular motivation to make it last a hundred lines... This is the geeky stuff you missed this last two months, as I started playing with facebook publisher.

• MMO stuff, with the great and funny review of a few of them by totally non MMO players
• Properly amazing Wow Nerdboy and nice Jinx Wow bean bags game.
• Stunning LittleBigWorld calculator level
• Funny japanese pez toy.
• A new man to add to your hatelist.
• Geek soft porn along with nice girl gaming teams for the world championship (in french, but you can still check out the pictures...)
• Excellent EA ad (read the buzz, it's a really good one)
• The SEGA lost but found again dream of a room.
• A very funny article (and comments) about video games and sexy performances.
  
• And finally always hilarious Zero Punctuation, opened by a quick talk on game design.

Before I published all this I didn't expect it to be ENTIRELY related to the gaming world, but I'm not ashamed ;) I'll try not to rip off Kotaku too much, as it's my main source of fun during the day, with Gizmondo, Journal du Geek and a few others. Then I will try to publish more often, with some more comments, maybe images if I find a quick way to do it from work !

Hope you enjoyed anyway. I did.

Resolutions

Numero 1, arreter de parler de moi.

Du coup j'ai pas besoin de continuer la liste.

Je pense que je vais essayer pendant quelques temps d'utiliser ce blog pour publier mes liens geeks.
