GAME TRAILER: Dishonored
Dishonored casts you as a supernatural assassin driven by revenge. You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, you become an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card. In a time of uncertainty, when the city is being besieged by plague and ruled by an oppressive government armed with strange technologies, dark forces conspire to bestow upon you abilities beyond those of any common man.
In Dishonored, creatively eliminate your targets with the flexible combat system as you combine the numerous supernatural abilities, weapons and unusual gadgets at your disposal. Pursue your enemies under the cover of darkness or ruthlessly attack them head on with weapons drawn. The outcome of each mission plays out based on the choices you make.

School project for Editorial Design classes at Department of Graphics, Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk (Poland) during 2nd semester of Master Degree studies. Subject: "Grand Prix".
I have decided to create infographic of exhibition 22 International Poster Biennale, Warsaw 2010 exhibition organized by Poster Museum at Wilanów in Warsaw, which includes graphical presentation of laureates posters, recognitions, numerical visualisation of submitted posters, authors and their countries of origin.
Vera Moiré just sent me this wonderful Polish infographics with amazing detail shots. This monstrous motherfucker is one of the best movations to keep us on the road (and in focus) for (even) better graphics design. (link to behance)

FASHION: Gabriel Dishaw's 'cyberpunk' sneakers
If that counts as cyberpunk, that's for the DIY self-grinding implant fetishist yogis out there who drink their vitamin juices through their urethra. This is an OLDIE, Gabriel Dishaw's DIY shoes, coming from Wired UK's 2009 archive, but hey - this does count as timeless.
[ANIMATION] SUBWARS: Black, red, white - and lightsabres. In China.
Talk about the Chinese psyche on hallucinogenics. SubWars, Sean Soong's 6-min animation is nothing short of breathtaking, bizarre and bombastic, mixing anime visuals with Star Wars references, a touch of Eastern European grime polish and self-gratifying violence. As he says, An old man on the subway,but nobody can Offer one 's seat to him……At the same time，the old man …… I want talk about some problems in society,and Morality. (via vimeo)
DAMAGE REPORT: megjelent az első könyvem, részletek, ajándékcsomagok
Ültem egy évig a Word felett (a kiskanalaim sorra oldódtak fel a Hiroshima-erejű espressokban), aztán elkészült a 400+ oldalnyi, dühödt gonzóban panírozott verbálelesdé, a DAMAGE REPORT, életem első könyve, sokan dolgoztunk rajta, érződik is rajta, hogy szerelemgyerek. Valahol örülök, hogy gyerektartásit nem kell érte, de a születés utáni hallgatósokk még tartja magát. Ha nem érted, amit írok, csak az tehet róla. A fenti képen nem csupán a könyv, hanem az ajándékcsomag részei is, amiket megnyerhetsz. Meg mesélek. Részletek beljebb.

CYBERPUNK ANIME: Exaella
Powerful, dark & dramatic - three-word association game for Andrew Oudot's 2011 underdog cyberpunk anime EXAELLA. It's been almost two years since I last gave word about a second trailer of Exaella and now Andrew has given us word that we've been looking the wrong way - his gritty cyberpunk 4-part OVA is now available via DVD and digital download and now we know a lot more about its bleak world, way too bleaker than that of Ergo Proxy. And quite similar to the shadowy monochrome monogatari of Blame! in feeling. Only with more wonderful UI overlays. (Click inside for more images, videos and details of DARK MORBID CYBERPUNK ROCK!)
MUSIC MICRO MARKETING: Angelspit's USB Spit Pill
International electro-psychotics ANGELSPIT have announced the USB SPIT PILL: a 4GB USB in the shape of the iconic Angelspit pill. Fans will be able pick and choose which Angelspit releases they want to have loaded onto the USB SPIT PILL. These releases include previously unavailable photos, interviews, videos, and much more.
Each USB SPIT PILL comes with Angelspit's newest remix compilation "[Re]fibrillator" pre-loaded. Fans can add as many Angelspit releases as they desire onto the USB SPIT PILL, from the most recent "Hello My Name Is" (2011) to the earliest "Nurse Grenade" (2004). Even tracks from Zoog's pre-Angelspit band "Jekyll Switch" will be available. Other releases include the never-before-released "Angelspit Live 2009" and "Rarities" (featuring several remixes by Angelspit for other bands). The releases contain enough special features to destroy any fan's mind PLUS they are cheaper than the regular digital versions on Amazon or iTunes!
You need one now. I actually need to buy a complete discography - every album seems to be filled with hi-rez artworks, lots of extra images, videos and of course the rarities. Get yours customized. Now. Here.

planetdamage linkbox, 2012-04-07
- Found The Nines (IX) via m1k3y's blog - a three-part movie that promises to be an intricately constructed intriguing blur of reality, virtual reality and metaphysical fantasy, without having seen that: the trailer is edgewalking between Wild Palms and 23 - but a definite must-watch for the holidays.
- You've probably stumbled over Glass, Google's augmented reality project - Wired UK has a great overview on it - but what tickles the back of our brains is: where's all the (mostly) relevant Google Ads material? Here's a brand identity corrected version called ADmented reality by pop culture hacker Jonathan McIntosh.
- The Hartnoll brothers aka Orbital are back for a new album after eight years and here's what they told Wired's Geeta Dayal. And there's a collab track. With Zola Jesus.
- Rock Band turns into Rock Band Blitz, ditches plastic instruments, basically goes Audiosurf.
- Dunno the source for that (but that was probably from Russia) - Luminokaya, quite a decent psy/goa artwork lab.
- Glitch/ambient/technoid/evil dubstep god Hecq has a free Ableton Live Pack for download -according to the Ableton site, "a modern update on classic IDM and glitch, infused with a healthy dose of dubstep elements."
- Stop Writing on the Internet to Make People Love You. A wonderful and true piece on why and how we do or do not write and have our doubts about the whole thing. Jennifer Wright. She has words of wisdom.
CYBERPUNK: the new total recall trailer
Yes, Colin Farrell takes the lead, leaving Arnold behind. Visual overhaul tick, contemporary kick-ass ladies tick, flying cars tick (everybody is so over their tits about the flying cars, it's seriously freaky), more action tick. Haven't seen the Martian whore with three tits. The only Easter egg we are curious about. August 3rd is the date when we find out. (thx to whoever sent this link in, your number is still legion!)
