Descreening & Dust Removal

I’ve been busy lately fixing a bit of a screw up with our music collection: over six hundred albums lost because of a hard-drive corruption. Okay, because of RAID. Okay, okay, because I forgot that the NAS runs Linux. Overall though, I find this to be a win. How...

Ruin

Above is quite an amazing CGI short by the animation company OddBall Animation. It’s remarkable when something this good comes out of a smaller animation house. It would cool to see this turn into something bigger, maybe a movie. Check out “behind the scenes” videos and other...

The (tge) SMP Server: Minecraft 1.1

This is a video compilation of our Minecraft 1.1 survivor multiplayer server. We decided to begin creating these in order to have a placemarker for every large Minecraft update, document each server, and get all the raw video off our hard drives (in this case, 27 GBs)....

Rain Town

It’s an overcast and rainy day here which reminded me that I forgot to post this video last year. We had previously posted a fun and lively video short from Hiroyasu Ishida called “Fumiko’s Confession.” The above video, “Rain Town,” was completed as a graduation film and...

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 Intro (PS2)

And yet, the quality of this title was jaw-droppingly surprising. Persona 4 (and the entire series in general) is one of those...

A Relaxing Ride

This was recorded off of the second tge server. We didn’t have a separate build server then and so kept this server around for quite some time. Minecraft was still very new and magical for us: there were no beds, no creative mode and we were not...

Private Time at the Work Bench

Dead Island is a very, very, VERY buggy game, but this is one of the non-game-breaking, non-skill-point-wasting, non-making-you-deaf, non-locking-up-your-PC ones. I can’t judge Logan though – everyone needs a little private time, even during a zombie apocalypse. Music: “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk

Hidden Potions of Solitude

One day while mindlessly jumping around Solitude in Skyrim, I found a health potion on the top of a wall. I thought of the health potion on the ground near the Winking Skeever and wondered if there were other ones around. After some searching, I found a...
