Out Of Reach Real Estate. A $29 Million Dollar Marin Home For Sale.

Most of us, heck... just about every single one of us, can only dream about a house like this. Unless you make a habit of browsing the luxury real estate magazines, few are even aware that a home like this exists, let alone could consider it for purchase.

Dead Island Gory Game Trailer Forward & Reversed At Slow Speed & Regular Speed.

Admittedly I'm up to my severed neck in Zombies, but this trailer [which has an opening shot of the eye of a dead female reminiscent of Hitchcock's Pyscho scene, ] for the upcoming gruesome video game Dead Island has been getting a lot of buzz lately, and deservedly so. Purposely shot backwards and accompanied by a beautiful piece of music, the cgi rendered trailer has been controversial for its blood and gore, but it's so compelling, one has to commend it for its production quality and undeniable appeal.



The trailer, released on youtube last week has already garnered almost 2 million views and has spawned a recut of the original by various people. Below it is shown in reverse- which would be forwards, with the music reversed on the same slow speed.



And Geekologie has shown it re-cut at normal speed with another piece of music ["Breathe Me" by Sia] by Aaron R. and Jon B. of Harcos Labs:



The game combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to 4 players in co-op mode.

Here are some stills from the not yet released game which takes place on the fictional resort paradise, Banoi Island:









The game is due out later this year.

You can see the original trailer as an mp4 at the official site, nice and huge here.

Canstruction - Food Can Sculptures [40 images] Help Raise Hunger Awareness.

Founded in 1992, Canstruction's mission is to engage, amaze and inspire the community to work together raising canned food to feed hundreds of thousands of hungry people.




Canstruction® is a design/build competition showcasing the talents of design and construction industry professionals and students they mentor.





At events held around the world, teams can spend months planning their structure but are given just 12 hours to defy expectations, logic, and gravity as they build fantastic sculptures from thousands of cans of food.






Driven by the knowledge that their structures will change lives – by lifting the spirits of those in need, by raising public awareness, and most importantly, by filling the shelves of local food banks – dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to bring their creations to life. The following day, the super-sized masterpieces are judged in a variety of categories as these unconventional art exhibits are opened to the public, the cost of admission – just one can of food.








Canstruction® is using one can as a catalyst for change. One can to represent the building blocks of these massive sculptures. One can to prove that every act of kindness makes a difference. Through the generosity of volunteers, celebrity judges, and members of the community, Canstruction® has contributed millions of pounds of food to community food banks – demonstrating that we can win the fight against hunger.
