<b>T.V. Series: In the Flesh</b><br/ >
Zombie fan? Sick of Zombies? This is a very special series for both of you.
Teenager Kieren Walker is a victim of 'Partially Deceased Syndrome' sufferer in a world post 'Rising' of the dead (that's old school 'rising' from the grave), where the undead horde has been 'cured' rehabilitated and reintegrated (or at least for as long as they take their serum).
This series explores issues parallel with a community in the wake of civil war. What happens when the the defeated 'oppressors' return to the same communities they terrorised? How does a family (who have already moved on after their loved ones death) deal with that community's prejudice? What about their own? And what about the 'returned'? Is this a second chance at life or a mockery of what was before? What about the guilt of having harmed so many?
This drama (not horror) is a holistic and intelligent attempt to envisage a real, post Zombie apocalypse.<br/ >

But he looked a little different last year...<br />
<br />
Retailers
apparently found him a little... disturbing... so I was asked to give
him a bit of a photoshop facelift; if it's good enough for supermodels
it's good enough for the Easter bunny!<br />
<br />
The original 3D model wasn't bad, but I think the anthropomorphism needed a bit of work. <br />
After
stripping out the high contrast shadow and colour, the real work began
adjusting his overall proportions and giving him a more 'cuddly' look.
The arms and torso were enlarged, paws articulated and ears rounded. The
eyes needed to be completely reworked with for a more traditional
'cartoony' shape and the mouth subtly stylised for a more neutral
expression.<br />
<br />
Lastly he was recoloured, bringing back the
pink in more gentle tones, purifying the whites and giving his clothes a
deeper, contrasting hue that would work with the all 3 core products.<br />
<br />
Below you can see a full flow from start to finish. It's quite exciting to see him on the shelves now!<br />

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/FxXRkqXfhYM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/ >
A good friend with a (mostly) like-minded taste in T.V. recommended <b>True Detective</b>. All I can say four episodes in, is <b>phenomenal</b> (and thanks!). Starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson it is a hard boiled, deep south detective drama, told from multiple perspectives and timelines. It has a gorgeous saturated palette, gritty visuals, stunning scenery and original, complex characters (I'll take a breath now). It is a harrowing joy to watch from the moment the titles begin, like David Fincher does Twin Peaks and watch for a 6 minute 'Children of Men' style one-take in Episode 4!
Interestingly it's an Anthology, each season a different story with different characters...

If you were a fan of the popular <b>Advanced Dungeons and Dragons</b> episode (see above) make sure you check out this season's sequel; <b>Dungeons & Dragons</b> pitting new regular <b>Mike</b> from <b>Breaking Bad</b> against his son <b>Tobias Funke</b> from <b>Arrested Development </b>(or at least said actors) in a surprisingly accurate and tender (if also slightly embarrassing) homage to my favorite hobby. Not as great as the first but a must for fans of the show or hobby!

<b>Walking Dead</b><br/ >
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/eo7lIrHgaV8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/ >
<b>Walking Dead</b> is an interesting one. I love it (and its comic source material) but it really divides fans in a most haphazard way. There is generally a sort of agreement with most series as to which one was good or not, every time I speak to a fellow fan, it's all over the place... So I say this knowing that obviously we all want something different form a Zombie T.V. series; but the second half of the fourth and current season has been my favorite. Without spoiling too much, it is everything I want from a Zombie apocalypse take; Like <b> World War Z</b> (the book) it describes a series of short and varied personal experiences of survival, whilst integrating a few of the better short storylines from the comic.

<b>Dexter</b><br/ >
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ej8-Rqo-VT4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/ >
With a bit of free time on my hands I was determined to go back and finish <b>Dexter</b> after stalling with Season 3 (a common pattern it appears after talking to a few friends) and I'm glad I did. I found Dexter to be a pretty solid series from beginning till end, which I think also did a great job of wrapping things up. Definitely worth returning too and persisting if you're a lapsed watcher.Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06802991179313466342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508620184661644236.post-5251441139879246712014-03-20T18:54:00.001-07:002014-03-20T18:54:19.903-07:00Movie Trailers<b>Get On Up</b><br/ >

As the <b>in-house graphic artist</b> at THQ, I worked on a video game called <b>Deepak Chopra's Leela</b>... I remember thinking (quietly) at the time it was a stupid idea and as we were all redundant within 6 months I guess I was right... So was this guy who featured it on <b>The Internet's most horrible items</b>. <a href="http://theworstthingsforsale.com/">A daily blog</a> (see the pillow slip above available on Amazon, which would actually make a pretty hilarious 'ironic' gift'). Worth a read for Drew's comments alone!</div>

Last week I broke out a seminal game from my childhood: <b>Heroquest </b>(that still sees action at my own game table with its fantastic collection of miniatures); Taking on the role of Barbarian, Elf, Dwarf and Wizard (in this case Thog, Bat, Fat and Maggot respectively) four brave adventurers delve dungeons deep, killing monsters and stealing their stuff.<br />

Still available 2nd hand online from a retroeasonable price to the collectordiculous this is still a great game for kids (if you can find a copy in good condition) and the perfect gateway drug for parents hoping to drag their kids kicking and screaming into the world of roleplaying games (and get their fix while keeping the kids entertained). Even my two from the jaded touch screen generation had a great time and begged for more!<br />

I would say however that it's a little 'quaint' for the battle hardened gamer and if you're looking for a that sweet D&D taste without going the full nerdtard, I would highly recommend <b>Fantasy Flight Games: </b><a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/104162/descent-journeys-in-the-dark-second-edition"><em>Descent</em>: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition)</a><br />
We recently played an entire campaign (a series of connected games) and wow, were we impressed.<br />
I have never played such a finely balanced game. You fight hard for every every victory and whether hero or monster each victory is by the skin of your teeth... Like all FFG products it is the highest level of production with simple rules and clever mechanics, quick to set up and a night to play.<br />
