PLANETDAMAGE

Wired’s Kevin Poulsen found this - a direct-to-DVD sequel for War Games. I’m really sorry, but anything remotely connected to bomb-launching AIs posing as riot grrls and innocent Philadelphia whizkids are really of the previous millennium. Go find a new toy. Upcoming: the Frankfurt travel log and what happened at the Ethical Hacking conference, Budapest. (via)

One of the best albums in the ambient genre, easily surpassing Higher Intelligence Agency, Orb, Future Sound of London and all the others I cared to listen to during the past decade (yes, I’m that old. Fuck.) - Dreamfish by Pete Namlook and Mixmaster Morris. Unavailable at Amazon at the moment but you can find it on the Internet if you’re smart. (And please, send me a webshop source, I so wanna buy it. Autographed, if possible.) Top listeners, anyone?

io9.com sez: Mixing 1980s SF dystopia with electronica, this year’s Meltdown Festival in the UK will include a couple of performances that may be of interest to fans of Philip K. Dick, Ridley Scott or DJ-friendly orchestras. (…) Plus the festival will give fans even a special one-off IMAX screening of Blade Runner: The Final Cut along with a hipper, younger version of the soundtrack. (…) will include a collaboration between the Heritage Orchestra and Massive Attack, performing Vangelis’ complete soundtrack to Ridley Scott’s 1982 adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?.

Anyone into planetdamage and the early years of ld50 could see this coming, heh heh. OneChanbara, previously an Xbox360 game is making it to the big screen in three days (April 26th), rocking geeks with big-tit samurai cowgirl Aya against flesh zombies. End of line. (via)

Tricky food hackers at オバッチのJacket Lunch Box adapt classic album covers into bento ingredients. Although recent links to the Lunch Box page only list a handful of albums, the guys keep creating new bento packs so check back often. And honestly, what could be more fitting to planetdamage than the Richard D. James album by Aphex Twin? (via)

Hubei-born action artist Li Wei is basically your Matrix bloopers on acid (and a wonderful way to crack up a miserable morning). All the “fake action” photos on his site are not Photoshop drills, so it’s all wire-fu, mirrors, scaffoldings, acrobatics and whatnot, right in Beijing. Guy could end up in Wormwood at random places just to suffer terrible acrobatic mishaps. Amazing. (via, original site, thx to Sinred!)

Now this is how I feel.

wherever you are, whatever you’re doing - be prepared

urbanstyle.nl parkour team’s promo movie with Action Henk and Monkey with a few tricky monkey jumps, side glides and unfortunately - not enough martial arts! all in all, a good coffeebreak viral marketing video.

UPDATE 1: it just turns out that this is the 500th post of pd.com, very fitting indeed. send me your regards, edible midgets and special, autographed diseases from outer space.
