everyone is going mental, seems to me it's spiralling out of control
Wordle did that, I'm waking up my neighbours with Lily Allen and the Chinese chili cabbage (without any kind of reasonable Hungarian or English explanation on or over it) is slowly swinging over the bowl to climb up into my brains and make devilish love to it. I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles.
thursday zen
Yesterday, between a torrent of ghastly heat and a torrent of *gasp* rain: awesome interview with Director of BBC Global News (who was very much relieved to hear that I actually gave a damn about the digital transition in the middle of the EBU grand meeting), then headed out, flicked open the music box of hell and started Juno Reactor on full volume. The poodle next to me visibly startled and gently pissed herself. Following that, visibly disemboweling me and putting me back together for a few hours (this is not a metaphor, disemboweling actually happened) and a weird anthology of Chinese SF. Life treats you well if you gorgeously meat her.
feed the fat kid
And after Long Pig and The City ads, this all looks very weirdly Transmetropolitan. New hate couture!
without words, future transport
Lamperd Less Lethal's T3 Mobile Defender (...) comes equipped with a powerful air gun that is considered non-lethal in a body shot, but could potentially kill someone if they were to take a synthetic bullet to the head. That is why the gun utilizes a holographic sight system to ensure accuracy. (link)
When the BuzzBall moves about and the operator starts to turn, the seat begins to rotate against the direction of travel. If you haven't figured it out already, that means you get a series of spins and barrel rolls—while you're moving. How one stops this thing we haven't a clue, but it probably involves passing out.

Called the HUVO, this diminutive electric car forgoes features like "well-being" and "sanity" for "lightweight" (330 lbs.) and "Jesus Christ watch out for that MINI Cooper!" To save weight and development costs, the HUVO is made out of materials that would make any contemporary golf cart proud; mainly plastic, ceramic, more plastic, and a bit of high-tensile steel plate.

frellstedt lightbench
I like benches more that get super glowing hot from 10pm to 6am or emit killer gas when you sit on them, but this is sort of a mellow moodsetter, so here it is. Bench is a Frellstedt product that emits 95W that doesn't sound that good given how much you need to maintain a normal park bench. In the dark. Anyways, Gizmodo.
brilldea: living in a magazine
Brilldea's LED-backlit sci-fi nightmare is one hot jerkoff material, Gizmodo thinks it has an immense Kubrick aftertaste. I'd say it has an aftertaste of anything after 1980 that includes future and robots. Which means it as an aftertaste of me. Thank you. (And officially confirmed, my next lead article next week is gonna be called "Hot chicks with big robots." How good is that, really?)
mgs, solid snakes
Hideo Kojima sez MGS4 has blood-curdling amounts of "butt depiction obsession". Right. Read Kotaku.
soul calibur iv: tits and gothic lolitas
Reading up on SC:IV ends real well: it's basically all about tits, gothic lolitas and an unfair amount of Star Wars (and I tell you, dropping McFarlane out of the game was a bad choice). Tonight we don't have no Darth Vader urethra busting, no. (new bust shots and female fighting rolls on kotaku)
syd mead silently stalks gadgets.boingboing
Syd Mead, visionary concept designer (Blade Runner, Tron, Aliens, Strange Days) has climbed his way onto last week's gadgets.boingboing with two posts.
One is the concept imagery for the city of Doha, Qatar..
..and the other's an official LEGO remake of the classic Spinner model from Blade Runner.
furby's death by drill
A Furby-kínzásnak perverz módon cizellált szubkultúrája van, fittyenti le az ajkát Colende, aztán elküldi a linket és ezzel meg is nyeri "az éjszaka legrosszabb youtube-videója" versenyt, ami neve ellenére inkább arról szól, hogy mivel tudjuk a másikba belefojtani a szót több ideig, nyert, nyert. Állatvédők és az emberi jogok barátai leszedálva nézzék csak. Nem tudok fogalmazni, nem tértem magamhoz még a Diablo 3-bejelentés okozta pozitív sokktól.
Diablo 3 - officially in the works. Goodbye, life.
Diablo 2 and its expansion pack was the first game I ever bought for money. (I'm a fucking liar, Might and Magic V, the French cyberpunk B.A.T. and some other mindless masturbations on floppy disks came earlier. But this was the first game I bought and then played a LOT. Compared to myself, at least.) And I might be buying a second set, just for backup.
The good thing is, it never really got boring. The gameplay - continuous looting and grinding, that becomes boring after a while and the labyrinth jungles were just a hassle. But the music, the whole atmosphere, it just got you going on. And no game, no game got ever close to this, not Titan Quest, not Sacred, not the other hack and slash games that got published throught the years and then died off in misery and solitude. (One coffee does that to your stylistic glands, you know.)
But now, it's all butterflies, songs and brutal, virgin-raping hellfire. Blizzard has just announced Diablo III and following the news, it's going to be full-3D, environment-interactive and as far as I know, the Barbarian and the Witch Hunter Doctor (thx, Korovjov!) are two classes to be featured. (Funny thing, on one of the forums there was this guy who wrote my friend works for Blizzard so I payed him a dinner and asked him to tell me everything. And basically the guy told him what we know now and obviously noone believed him before :D) Now that's some awesome news for today, just to start a terrific Saturday :)
golden ray migration
Dawe sent me his nature sexobject images the other day, golden rays migrating off the coast of Mexico, pictures by Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer who just "stumbled upon" this by the way fantastically awesome phenomenon. (via telegraph)
radioactive toothpaste. really.
A szerkesztőség még mindig nem hajlandó elhinni azt az apró tényt, hogy tényleg kipróbálnám a nyomokban tóriumot tartalmazó Doramad radioaktív fogkrémet (Auergesellschaft, Berlin), de ez igazából nem jelent semmit, mert a chicken pussyk egyike sem hajlandó hatvanezer forintot eldobni azért, hogy Pripjatyban fotózhassuk le magunkat a ferris wheel előtt, majd azt a képet nézve csikorgathassuk akkor már nem létező fogainkat egy narancssárga színkóddal jelzett karanténban valahol Ózd mellett, homlokunkhoz szorított fogfúróval. Pedig volt ilyen.
A fogkrémre írt magyarázószöveg szerint a radioaktív sugárzás javítja a fogak és az íny természetes védekezőképességét, a baktériumokat hazapöccentik, a mosolyunk fehér lesz, csak ne használjuk sokat. A vicc csak annyi, hogy míg a tórium alfasugárzása nem hatol át a bőrön és például a tórium-alapú gázégők használata teljesen biztonságos, addig szervezeten belülre kerülve az alfasugárzás beköszön a tüdőnek, a vérnek és a májnak, külön-külön is. Dawe, köszönöm az ötleteket :)
cyberpunk linkbox: [personality, images, everything]
After unsuccessfully coping with the proper recital of a tale of tribal girls killed, raped and then killed again by stone tree giants and shaven mud monkeys (and then casting them into napalm bath tubs), I'm back with some cyberpunk book generosity. If you all followed Twitter, you probably know if I have less time to update and even if I have time, it's pretty hard doing it in 35Celsius, when the best thing my brain is capable of is trying to find its way out my ears. And I haven't taken anything yet, god, no.
So you will receive a brief linkbox now, because my frontal lobes are screaming with caffeine overdose and I'm repeatedly trying to smash the new Baal CD in my mouth. Which makes a lovely picture, and Dead Rock Enemy is quite a hymn to clean out the epic monster lair, by the way.
Mermaid song.

promo reel of tony jaa's "ong bak 2" on twitch - now for real
Twitchfilm has an exclusive baby that's not yet on Youtube now - a very official promo reel from the directorial debut of Thailand's supreme action hero Tony Jaa. Jaa's earned an instant ticket into the martial arts "unbelievably good as fuck" class with his first movie Ong-Bak and strengthened it with a more brawly and brutal sequel (with just as good technical finesse) Tom Yum Goong. This movie has also been called Ong-Bak 2, this being a universally bad move as the movies have nothing to do with each other.
Ong-Bak 2, on the other hand, has nothing to do with these - the movie is about a youngster whose life is saved by a group of martial artists. The little guy makes quite an effort to study and blend all his masters' skills together and trust me, if you thought Jaa has nothing to do with kung fu or close-quarters melee fight, watch the Twitch trailer and you'll be so amazed.
year one: happy birthday, planetdamage
今全部が続けます.
And so it continues.
Aki ismer, az itt elnyomhat egy biztató mosolyt: egy éve született meg a planetdamage első bejegyzése, számos blog után, az ld50 előtt is volt valami, zónafutó néven két külön blog is üzemelt nagyon rövid ideig (ezeket majd utólag visszakötöm, ha megtalálom őket), amibe belekezdek, nem feltétlenül viszem végig, az egy év pedig (a The Dose tündöklését és bukását megnézve pedig) súrolja a popzene jogosan rettegett harmadik albumát - ott fordul át a banda valami teljesen másba vagy ott döglik meg enyhén kellemetlen vergődés után. Úgyhogy, lányokfiúk, indulhat a játék az egyéves tiszteletkör után. Körülbelül ugyanolyan hangulatban és helyzetben született meg az első post is, mint a mostani, ideje elérni az escape velocityt, aztán ka-boom, galactic grinder liberation front!
Az eddigi évek azt mutatják, imádjátok a statisztikát, kipiszkáltam az Analytics beszáradt csatornáiból az ideillőket: egy év alatt 24742 visit (furcsa is volt ám a napi többezres látogatottság után megint tucatnyiótoknak blogolni úgy, hogy nem is kommenteltek, leszáradt kezű, girhes banda), 2:00 minutes average on site (ezt kritikusan lerövidítjük, a visitet pedig megszázszorozzuk, ez lesz, ez lesz, éljen a burst culture), absolute unique visitors 9976 (majdnem elértük a tízezret, húzzatok bele holnap, mindenki szóljon a mellette ülőnek). A nyelvi megoszlás szerint 50% magyar, 41% angol, 1% japán, most ezek után szokjak vissza a magyarblogoláshoz? Kétnyelvűzzek? Súlyos kérdések ezek. Üdvözlöm azokat az olvasókat is, akik Wii-ről, Playstation 3-ról vagy PSP-ről nézték meg a siteot (erős tippem van két emberre is, szevasztok).
A legtöbb hivatkozó, akiknek ezúttal is köszönöm: hardergeneration, hardwired, vividfluxury, mofokarcsi, sickreality, angelace, zhadnost, elitalice, trentemotion, pinktsunamii, razzor, synthetic-smile, tvlp, grinding.be, rootcoffee, eegflatline, japanitup, dailysensation, braincrack, resiklo, gemeskut, muma, worldshots, kultplay, pinktentacle és természetesen, warren ellis. Köszönöm azoknak, akik megtalálnak a napi linkajánlókkal, tudjátok, kik vagytok.

For all my English readers: Planetdamage is a full-fledged narcosis blog baby now, completely one year old, greasy, grimy and it's just starting to find its voice. Find me on Twitter, email or right in the comments and tell me what you think. All the Hungarian stuff above is a brief summary of the Google Analytics stats and since you're all geeks with eyes of filter, you can most probably make out the most of what I've written above. The stuff you haven't, that's not really important. Spread the word.
vész budapest utcáin: red bull cola
walkunafraid szerint a világ, amikor korareggel azzal a jóhírrel riaszt be a balróljobbra, majd jobbrólbalradülöngős szokásos villamospótlós túrán, hogy mégiscsak van rosszabb dolog a hígfos állagú, automatából kinyert omniánál.
she sez, noshát, 240 forintért kipróbálhatod, milyen az, amikor a klasszik coca kóla ízéből kivegyészkedett, méterben kapható rágógumi utánérzését cseppfolyósítják. alig várom a redbullcola rágót, aztán a redbullcolarágóból facsart levet, érzed az önaprózó fraktálokat a folyamatban?
állítólag nincs benne foszforsav, mesterséges aroma/színezék/tartósítószer sem. a színe olyan mocsaras.
kedvelem.:)
szerinte a kolossy téri piacon kapható. szerinted?
emperor workstation mod
Every single site from Gizmodo to Ubergizmo thinks that the Emperor workstation mod by NovelQuest has something to do with the Star Wars Universe. Nothing about neural induction links and operator HQs, obviously. As for the specifics, those will be released on the 24th of July. I am so ordering one of these. As you can see, it has three monitors, also surround sound, air filtering, light therapy, webcam and battery backup. I can't also miss saying,
At the press of a button, the Emperor’s tail section (the large articulated arm that holds the monitors) rises to allow the user to be seated, then lowers back into position the three monitors at the perfect height and angle for perfect viewing comfort.
Yes, yes. Everyone added this as blockquote. (Link sent by PinkTsunamii, thx)
robocop remake in 2010
We have a remake of Verhoeven's Robocop coming up in 2010 (according to the pic taken at Licensing International Expo 2008, found on Superherohype) - and if you think that's a lie, MGM actually had a press release in March about bringing back the Robocop franchise. And below, you have one of the original movie posters. (Retro is scary.)
magnetic: funk falsetto dystopia from 1983
IO9 recommends Earth, Wind & Fire's (*gasp!*) 1983 PV "Magnetic" with all the eighties' SF sensibilities that rage from shifty street dealers (under neon) to teeth-gritting policemen (under neon) and gladiators (under neon). Instead of hacking a video player into this site, just click on the pic to get to youtube. This one is very much not to be missed. (No, I promise I won't get as low as Jem, Mask and DJ Kat Show. Really.)
