@gazsleith @roundonefight this is wonderful.
-
@gazsleith @roundonefight saved the link, my phone can't deal with streaming stuff. Sounded fuzzy though...
-
@roundonefight I tried to make that my jam, but there's no YouTube vids. It's incredible, breaks me in new ways every listen.
-
@jonhickman that's what I'd feared...I'll give it a go, ive never really got on with TV sci-fi shows.
-
@jonhickman I keep getting told to watch BSG, worth it?
-
@jonhickman amazingly, it's on the uk one. As are the first 3 seasons of Buffy now.
-
My 'last viewed' on Netflix is incredible: Buffy, Firefly and Cabin in the Woods. It's been a great few days.
-
@roundonefight @foofly outdone by billy once again...
-
@roundonefight honestly, I'd normally have let is go...but the fact that this guy is shoehorning today's events into this argument? Nah mate
-
@roundonefight ive removed 10 people from my friends list so far. Probably need to delete the whole thing.
-
@roundonefight judging by 90% of my facebook, I think people are liking it for that exact reason.
-
@roundonefight unfortunately, I knew...I just had to see the comments, almost in hope that is wouldn't be bad.
-
@roundonefight quick word of advice: don't read any of the comments in that group...I need to smash things right now.
-
RT @roundonefight: "Dave, I'm not sure everyone knows your detailed, well researched, nuanced views on Islam yet..." "TO THE INTERNET!"
-
@JonVonHero @roundonefight @simonpoole84 I just got shown that one...not really surprised when I saw who it was from.
-
@_katefarrell Yeah, it's incredible, but destroys me inside every listen.
-
Now taking payment for design work in the form of noodles... http://t.co/Lh1kTbsuz8
-
@sn0lan Go listen to some generic metal-core , you utter shit.
-
Just listened to The Wonder Years followed by The National. BRB, off to cry in a corner for a while.

I was introduced to Information is Beautiful last night…annoyed that I’ve not spend hours browsing it before.
The above graphic is an early favourite, though no Powered Exoskeleton ‘till 2019?
NOT FAST ENOUGH SCIENCE!!!
Swissted.
Great little project by New York designer Mike Joyce re-imagining Punk/hardcore gig posters in a Swiss Modernist style.
Two things I love, punk/hardcore and Swiss type…More design like this please everyone.
This blog is brilliant. Classic album covers recreated with clip art and Comic Sans.Live Through This by Hole.
Requested by betheriel.
This has been doing the rounds for a few days now, but hey…I *like* being late to the party.
A bit of work by legendary concept artist Syd Mead and additional artists (including Ridley Scott himself…talented bastard), this book showcases Blade Runner’s incredible look.
It also hammers home the fact that such well thought out and damn beautiful production design has been sorely lacking in most modern Sci-Fi films (Although you could argue that as older films predictions of flying cars, silver jumpsuits and Astro-domes on Mars have proven to be a bit off the mark, Sci-Fi has become a little more grounded in it’s predictions of future worlds).
Anyway, go read the whole thing here: Issue
and if anyone ever finds a print copy…buy it for me, yeah?
I highly recommend that everybody stops what they’re doing and watches this.
Oh, and turn that shit up loud. Real loud.
Stunning scenery with a healthy slice of brutal death & murder.
Skyrim at it’s finest.
theyusedtobeadventurerslikeme:
In between murdering and robbing innocent people, this bandit enjoyed serene waterfall vistas. We couldn’t allow that.
Wolverine and Psylocke painting by Jim Lee
Jim Lee can do no wrong.
Best illustrator working today (apart from maybe Dave Gibbons…maybe).
Awesome illustrations of dead wrestlers.
More here…
and the I Love Dust site here Some incredible work all up on this.
Dark, atmospheric, intense and most of all, stunningly beautiful.
Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross have found some serious form.
Go here: http://www.nullco.com/GDT/ and grab the free 6 track sampler and let your day get that little darker…
