HTC’s Free Fall: Smartphone photography at 126mph
HTC arranged a free fall – a skydive – to demonstrate the photographic capability of their new HTC One series. As you might expect from HTC there was a cunning twist. This wasn’t a normal skydive.

Bioshock: New Year’s End
New Year’s End is a short BioShock film. It’s a good 5 minutes of action, following some splicers who are determined to upset Andrew Ryan. Directed by Jared W Potter and being promoted by Machinima, New Year’s End strikes me as the first of many videos we’ll see from this combination. Fans can check up […]

Steampunk Iron Man glove
Deviant artist Ian Finch-Field is a man with talent. The Canadian works incredibly well with wood, brass and leather.
