August 15, 2011 by Luke Norris

Kid Cudi’s new song “No One Believes Me,” was produced by Dot Da Genius. The tune will also be featured in the upcoming remake of the 1985 horror-comedy film Fright Night, but until now the song had been under wraps. Not only did Cudi release that song today, he also let loose the Craig Gillespie-directed music video for it.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Announcement

August 15, 2011 by Luke Norris

For those who have been diehard gamers for a long time will know the origin of how Counter-Strike began as a modification from the Valve title Half-Life and from there grew into a game of its own. I love first person style games on PS3 but have never played Counter-Strike so I’m looking forward to testing second edition due for release early 2012. Expect to see it on all gaming platforms – PC, Mac, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Banksy’s: The Antics Roadshow TV Special

August 15, 2011 by Luke Norris

The Antics Roadshow from French Kiss on Vimeo.

Attention all artists, appreciators of art and general renegades. This is a great watch!

For our readers who aren’t located in the UK, you probably haven’t seen Banksy’s one hour TV special, The Antics Roadshow, which aired on Channel 4 over the weekend. Titled as a pun on theAntiques Roadshow, a long-running British television show, Banksy explores the “history of behaving badly in public, from anarchists and activists to attention seeking eccentrics” including many interviews and re-enactments with the actual protagonists.

Mick Boogie: Excursions-Rarities and Remixes of A Tribe Called Quest

August 14, 2011 by Luke Norris

A Tribe Called Quest is one of my favorite groups of all time… in any genre of music. After seeing Michael Rapaport’s amazing documentary on the group, I felt inspired to put together a mix and this is the end result. This is NOT a greatest hits mix. This mix is for the true Tribe fans only… the die-hards who know every lyric and remember every interlude. I thought it would be cool to basically create the “lost” Tribe album… with all the rare songs, demos, limited-edition remixes, and collaborations you may have missed over the years. I hope when you enjoy this as much as I do, and hear some things you have never heard before. Special thank you toUNDRCRWN for the amazing artwork. Long live A Tribe Called Quest!

Street Fighter Artwork

August 14, 2011 by Luke Norris

Street Fighter is still one of my all time favourite games.

Here’s a few illustrations by various artists of some of the original and latest characters. Sagat was my favourite player.

The Flake

August 12, 2011 by Luke Norris

The Flake, Da Feng’s latest design, is covered in hinged carbon-fiber pieces. Each one is connected by carbon nanotubes to tiny solenoids that can make them stand up or lay flat, like an angry cat puffing up its fur. Each “flake”, is made of carbon fiber, and can go from perfectly flat and streamlined to standing up nearly vertically. So if you want to go fast, all the flakes lie flat, but when you turn, all the flakes on one side of the car will stand up, helping lock the car down to the road. The Flake car, its wheels are made out of twelve independently extendable leg-things, allowing for an adjustable contact surface. Their 12 “legs” extend and contract in response to the road surface and vehicle speed, the bottom part of the “wheel” flattens at high speeds, turning the circle into a D-shape, so Feng calls them D-wheels.
