French cinema, everyone! (Photo courtesy Screened.com) Went on a date with an art student so I thought it would be most fitting to see a weird, French art flick. It…did not disappoint. Movies Holy Motors - There is no real way to summarize every weird thing that happens in this movie, but it’s about a man who gets in a limousine every day and shows up in makeup and costumes in various places, acts out a scene, and then leaves. You got a little bit of everything, but my favorite was the scene where he killed a man, started to make the man look like him, and then that dead man killed him and assumed his role. That’s the kind of movie this was. It was…odd. ...

http://youtu.be/mwZtt4Q9CxY I thought this was a Vita exclusive (another argument in favor (this and P4 Golden)), but it turns out that this is also available on the PSN(?) I really dig the way that they integrate the Beck songs into the platform action. This is ridiculously well done. I need to pick this up at some point soon…

http://youtu.be/FYTW0P9DerA It’s the mash-up nobody knew they wanted until today! I mean, this is pure insanity, but it’s also super awesome. Rock vs. Ryu?! BRILLIANT! Can’t wait for that free download. http://youtu.be/W01L70IGBgE Uncharted 3 may have been lacking that je ne sais quoi that its predecessors have, but that’s probably because the big guns were working on this sucker. What a fine looking game it is too. Can’t wait to see how this pans out because it looks astounding. ...

Weeping Angel I got to share my favorite episode of Doctor Who with Min today. I’d forgotten how eerie and excellent that episode was. I mean, I literally shouted out loud in fear when one of the angels popped into view. Freaky stuff. Love that ep. Movies Not this week. TV Breaking Bad - I don’t know why I had such a long gap before where I wasn’t watching this, but these past few episodes have been brilliant. Walter White is absolutely fascinating in his almost impotent villainy. I love how addicted he is to power and how much pride he has. Just brilliant stuff. ...

http://youtu.be/IM630Z8lho8 I didn’t realize the additive velocity thing nor did I know the specifics of gravity (ie: energy and momentum, not mass), but I did know that light was affected by gravity. How many points do I get for that?

So soon after the Nintendope stuff I ran into a brilliant animation chronicling the progression of Nintendo’s hardware. Enjoy.

http://youtu.be/MsVcLewmcdU Ron Gilbert’s latest adventure game is on the cusp of release and I’m super excited. This is gonna be good, guys, or, at the very least, very interesting.

Lincoln Memorial Four score and seven seconds ago I started trying to come up with a clever line to write here. As you can see, I failed. Movies Lincoln - I’ve talked to lots of people about this movie and it’s one I feel better about recommending the more I think about it. Sure, Lincoln himself may or may not have been as epic a figure as the movie makes him out to be (dude is like a god in this picture), but the political intrigue and heist-like nature of the vote makes for good cinema. Now if only it didn’t feel quite so awkward to have all these great white men saving black men… ...

http://youtu.be/lgPcU-J9KJw A pretty cool musical look at the history of Nintendo by the Reverse Enginears.

http://youtu.be/7pL5vzIMAhs Of course it doesn’t. Here’s a nice argument for how ridiculously insignificant the sum of human existence is.
