Japanese band, Androp, breaks out from the mold with an interactive music video for their single ‘Bell’. Created by creative company, Party, listeners are given an opportunity to be part of the music video as they play the game.
Found at the Androp site, you are able to create an animal, which varies from a rabbit to an elephant depending on the number of words you type in, that you control to dodge oncoming obstacles.
Beautifully illustrated with simple black and white graphics, each time you knock into an obstacle, a letter of your message changes. Thus you’re challenged to make sure your message stays intact, while the band’s song plays in the background.
Have a go at it here.

Immortals Trailer
Visionary director Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) transports us to a mythical world of treachery, vengeance and destiny in Immortals, a stylish and visually spectacular 3D action adventure. As a power-hungry king razes ancient Greece in search of a legendary weapon, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful. The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army rampage across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king’s mission. As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge his mother, who was killed in one of Hyperion’s brutal raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto), her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final, desperate battle for the future of humanity. Immortals is produced by Gianni Nunnari (300), Mark Canton (300) and Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter).

Deep in the heart of Jakarta’s slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world’s most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the run-down apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building’s lights are cut and all the exits blocked. Stranded on the sixth floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city’s worst to survive their mission. Starring Indonesian martial arts sensation Iko Uwais.

Honda Civic Type R MUGEN 2.2: Even More MUGEN Power
The Civic Type-R was one of my favourite cars growing up. One because the Civic was my first car and two because the Type-R models from Honda are still one of the best engineered cars in their class. NOW they’ve teamed up with Mugen Power I can just imagine how great this car would be to drive.
An output of 260 horsepower allows the new Honda Civic Type R MUGEN 2.2 to be a true “rice rocket”. With MUGEN Euro leading the charge, a typical Honda Civic Type R had its engine upgraded with 30% more power and torque. Along with the increased horsepower, torque is now 240Nm at 6,000 RPM. With motorsport standard suspension, brakes, and an updated body kit to reduce drag, the Honda Civic Type R MUGEN 2.2 might just be the fastest road legal Honda Civic thus far. Plans for production are still in the works.

Attack of La Niña Teaser from Shelby Meinzer on Vimeo.
The production quality of ski and snowboarding movies is just getting better and better. I’m a die-hard snowboarded but I get just as pumped watching these kind of ski films and to be able to appreciate the work that goes into them is amazing. Kudos!
Awesome track too! Download it here.
MSP’s latest triumph, “Attack of La Niña”, chronicles the deepest North American winter in recent history. This new film follows in the footsteps of “The Way I See It”, MSP’s 2010 release and the most decorated ski movie of all time. “Attack of La Niña” showcases the talents of today’s best skiers in a journey through the snowiest winter of their lives. This action-packed film — captured using the most state of the art camera equipment available — demonstrates the limit of what is possible in modern freeskiing. Featuring super steep descents, unbelievably deep powder, and giant airs, “Attack of La Niña” will transport you to Colorado, Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, California, and many other world-class destinations.
“Attack of La Niña” features the tremendous skiing brilliance of: Mark Abma, Sean Pettit, Eric Hjorleifson, Rory Bushfield, Henrik Windstedt, Cody Townsend, Jacob Wester, Ingrid Backstrom, Bobby Brown, Gus Kenworthy, Richard Permin, Colby West, James Heim, Callum Pettit, Alex Schlopy, Russ Henshaw, and Torin Yater-Wallace.
