Bad Trades Search Results

News: Crystal Wave

This is my first game using the Lazy Brain method, I have to say, it ain’t bad at all. The graphics are sweet and the gameplay is something farmiliar with a few of my own twists. Also features an online highscore board.

News: KEH

KEH has a great website and awesome resources for photographers who don't need the newest thing, but know lots of other photographers do, which means KEH is there to scoop up all the gently-used and barely-used gear for the more budget minded or just plain more sensible. Also, KEH is the go-to place for vintage equipment. Who needs to get in a bidding war on eBay and pay more than the true value of a vintage camera? Keep your eye on KEH instead.

News: Lazy Teenage Superheroes

With the low budget of $300 bucks, Michael Ashton and pals created the below 12-minute short film entitled Lazy Teenage Superheroes, complete with some pretty great looking SFX. Just shows what you can do with a little ingenuity plus some self-taught filmmaking know-how (and the right After Effects tutorials). Not bad at all. Behind-the-scenes:

News: The Tourist (2010)

Here is the movie trailer for the feature film "The Tourist." Is it just me or does Johnny Depp look horrible in this film? He looks so puffy face like he is on steroids or something. Did he gain weight to intentionally look bad or have we seen him so much in costumes that we just don't recognize the TRUE JD. Here are 5 clips from the movie "The Tourist" featuring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.

News: Fake Criterion Covers

Known for their amazing HD conversions and in depth behind the scenes, Criterion sets the standard for quality home video releases. They are very particular about the films they choose to give the "Criterion" treatment which makes this concept so hysterical. Imagine if Criterion actually released really bad movies...

Something so basic, yet so mysterious... Gravity seemingly a law that we must live by... or is it? Check out this fascinating article from the New York Times, examining one scientist's bid to redefine what we think about as gravity.

News: Interactive World Cup Explorer

Make sure to click through for some bad-ass Flash-based World Cup explorer. I'm not sure whether something like this was available for the last world cup, all I know is that I'll be using that site quite a bit.

News: Vanquish In Game trailer

From the makers of Bayonetta (Platinum Games) comes Vanquish, their Japanese version of Halo. Not quite sure if this is good or bad, but since they made Bayonetta, this might turn out to be a really good game game play wise. The story already looks juvenile from the video. I like the dash and cover system in the video, something I wish Halo, MW, and BF2 had in their games.

News: Rocketeer Reboot in the Works

I just saw that the Rocketeer is being rebooted. It's visually one of my favorite movies and it really doesn't need to be rebooted. It's a great steampunk movie, but still not as good as the comics. The full article is here if you want to see. It's not very far along yet but I'm sure it will be bad.

How To: Smell Good and Stay Smelling Good

I've heard some people say that "brown people smell bad!" Ahem. Brown people don’t smell bad! Okay, some do, but so do people of all races and cultures. How a person smells has nothing to do with their race, but rather choices they make. I choose not to smell bad, and take steps to make sure that does not happen. Personally I cannot stand bad smells. It's something that makes me feel sick, so I try my best to make sure that I am not the cause of a certain odor. The following are steps I take ...
