TRON 1982

 

Here’s a sweet new fan trailer for the original “TRON” that makes it feel more like a modern movie preview. I approve.

Scott Pilgrim VS. The World

 

I’m a fan of the Scott Pilgrim books and with the new trailer out I wonder what some of you think?

Being an animator I really feel that the charm of the book would be much better suited to a game or a traditionally animated feature.

The Evolution of Video Games

 

Epic musical Win here! The history of video games as composed by Adolfo Baez in Mario Paint.

Great job Adolfo! MAN they really need to re-release Mario Paint for the Wii or DS.

Incidentally, we will have a podcast that covers the entire event at the end of the weekend. Until then, enjoy more photos on our Flickr and Facebook pages.

Luckily, a venn diagram from Great White Snark explains the interrelationships between these groups in an easily digestible manner. It all makes sense now. Well, sort of.
