Try it… you’ll never know when it might work

This mock trailer for a 80′s style sci-fi movie is pure awesomeness! Awesome marketing!

Star Wars day again folks! Release your inner Jedi or Sith, watch the trilogy, or the prequels if you are that kind of fan but celebrate Star Wars, because even with all the changes being made to this wonderful universe, part of it is still the Star Wars you grew to love.

May the 4th be with you… always!

This is sooooo 80′s! Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is set to be released in May for PS3, X360 and PC as an whole game, as you don’t need the original Far Cry 3 to play it.

The awesome sound track is by Powerglove and it’s an entire trip to the 80′s electronica. You can listen to it here

Trivia: This beautiful sunset is only present in the original EGA version of Monkey Island.

It’s a sad day for us gamers in their 30′s and 40′s.

Today Disney announced that it’s closing LucasArts. The famous game studio that was part of LucasFilm, and included in the package that George Lucas sold to Disney, is being closed down after 31 years. I’m 34. I grew up with LucasFilm Games (that was the original name back then), the good old Maniac Mansion, Loom, Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and so many others. All of them made me a very happy kid. If I exceled at english in my teen years, I owe it all to these titles. Brillian graphic adventures, games unmatched even today…

In the past 10 years, LucasArts has been only a medium to release Star Wars games, straying very far from its roots. In this economy and with the lack of good titles, it was only a matter of “when”.

Farewell LucasFilm Games. I’m off to play some Secret of Monkey Island, hopping one day I might play Monkey Island 3, delivered directly from the hands of the creator.

Some hilarious notes on Blade Runner. If you saw “Dangerous Days” you will understand some of them and why this movie was almost scrapped from production.

I’m completely addicted to this album! A pure trip to the 80′s in all aspects! Great work from Kavinsky.

A true homage to Sega’s arcade and console hit Outrun! Love the Testarossa!

If I could choose a single image to define my childhood, it would be this awesome painting by Rudy Obrero made for the Masters of the Universe Castle Grayskull box artwork… simply amazing stuff.

Blade Runner scene with Harrison Ford and Sean Young

Dreaming with Blade Runner 2… Crossing my fingers, hoping that Ridley Scott doesn’t ruin it…

A little motivotional wallpaper made by me after being remembered of this excellent text from Frank Herbert’s Dune. The Bene Gesserit was an awesome concept… almost a kind of Jedi. I wish someone could make a decent Dune movie… except for Michael Bay.
