Well this is a very, very sad month for movies… Thankfully November is looking extremely strong, even with the loss of Harry Potter(which is probably going to be fucking abysmal anyways). September would be a great time for movies too, as everyone’s depressed about going back to school and the summer being over so they would go to the movies to escape. I guess the studios just want to get as much money out of their summer blockbusters as they can. oh well. Guess I’ll just see Dark Knight in Imax again…

Burn After Reading

Release: September 12th
Links: IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Wikipedia

Opinions:
Nowned: Well as this is the only decent looking movie coming out this month, i guess ill probably end up seeing it. The team(John Malkovich, George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt) and the directors/producers/writers(Joel and Ethan Coen) make this look like a very promising movie but we will see how it is.
Mr. Wumpus: It looks like… well I don’t know. I won’t see it. Is this really all September has to offer? Sigh.

Wired has done a great roundup on the Top 5 Gadgets That Could Get You Arrested. My personal favorite on the list is the Sonar II Burner, which you can see above.

Surely and truly the most excellent pro-atheism argument ever presented. And Pat Condell has 45 videos on such a topic.

Even if you believe in god you should find this video interesting because this man is a coherent speaker and makes a very well put together speech which I think we can all enjoy. Plus he’s British and hilarious.
Considering that both atheists and religious people alike generally spew absolutely terrible arguments back and forth at each other it’s nice to hear from someone who has their story straight.

Atheists will love this, religious types will (should) just accept that it is a well formed argument whether or not they believe it.

You can find some awesome Low-poly remakes of the Team Fortress 2 models we know and love.
This is some fantastic work and I assume that someone with an unfortunately shitty computer could use these and somehow still manage to play the game well; that would be nifty.

The works are all by a man named Tom Tallian. His website plays host to a number of other interesting works.

Here’s an example image, click on it to see the whole set.

This image wells up great feelings of nostalgia for me (old-ass games and what not). It looks almost as if this were “Quake fortress 2″ or even Team fortress 2 with the style update, but still released somewhat close to Team fortress 1. If this was a skin pack for TF2 then I would install it. The models are so excellently reduced and the textures are so nice that nothing looks blocky in a bad way, It’s all so stylish.

The pack of models are available for free download in .max and .obj file formats.

Now of course this isn’t any old paintball gun. It is Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman after all. They built a 1100 barrel paintball gun to paint the Mona Lisa in 275 ms. Apparently it was to demonstrate the difference between a computer’s CPU and GPU at NVIDIA’s NVISION 08 Show.

This is an extremely useful(and possibly slightly illegal) software for finding the CD keys for games that have been installed on your Computer. Very helpful to have when you have lost your cd keys and want to wipe your computer etc! You can download it off of their website or look at the massive Supported Games List. It looks like he is constantly updating this software so make sure you bookmark this to check for updates!
