Stray, a third-person cat adventure game by BlueTwelve Studio

Last year we enjoyed playing Mafia: Trilogy and in this post we shared with you our excitement about 2K Games and Hangar 13 crime dramas before the video game was even released. This time, we’re looking forward to the release of the very intriguing Stray, an upcoming ‘third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity and the murky environments of its seedy underbelly‘. The game, developed by ...

A Super Mario Game in a Box!

A few days ago our friends @Artoyz tweeted about a Super Mario game in a box. It is a video game but it isn’t… On the video page, the creators explain: ‘Using a Teagueduino and a few inputs and outputs, we put together a physical side-scrolling video game. To control it, there’s a knob on the side. As time advances the game gets faster and faster’. Teagueduino is an open source hardware platform that makes Arduino a whole lot ...


Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child and an Exhibition

Grandmaster Flash, Seen, Jordans… The good old days!

Max Dana is a committed artist and when it comes to her sources of inspiration, they are multiples and very different. But everything started with graffiti in the Eighties. If you are a regular of Max’s Blog then you already know about that important point (she also mentions graffiti in her bio) but you will learn more in her last blog post. We know her very well and we did learn a lot about her, so we guess you may learn a thing or two too. Her ...


PIXEL winebar in Brussels: pixels and wine

The PIXEL winebar opened in 2009 in Brussels, Belgium. As soon as we saw the photos on the website, we ‘geekly’ said: ‘This place is cool!’. You know, pixels remember us (by us I mean mostly me and Max Dana) our favorites video games from the NES. And wine, because we are proud members of the Sama Epicurean Fraternal Society and we appreciate drinking good wine -with moderation. We didn’t go there yet but our friends at ...
