Singularity’s main gameplay mechanism is a device, known in the game as the TMD (Time Manipulation Device). The TMD has the ability to move a single object through time, both into the future, and into the past. It can also freeze an object in time, and has an ‘Impulse’ function, which can be used as a weapon once upgraded. The TMD is multifunctional, as it can be used as a powerful weapon, but also as a tool in puzzle solving scenarios.

Quite a month ago I’ve had shown you some cool parts of Superman: Red Son. Yesterday I found out that DC has made a motion comic out of it. Accidentally, the teaser trailer includes exactly my scanned scenes. Creepy, isn’t it?

You never should have come here, Superman. You should have died in your own world and kept your alien fingers out of human affairs.

Did you know that Brenkster Tools goes around at vimeo? No? I guess it’s about time!

These days you are getting stuck without all the viral, erm social media. Flickr, MySpace, Twitter… anything else?

new youtube video

by sp | | October 11th, 2009 | tools, videos | No Comments »

Due to my excitement for the new Batman-game „Arkham Asylum“, especially for the well done battle system, I thought I could do a video again. So I thrashed some Lunatics yesterday and put the stuff together with iMovie.

Arrr, it was awful. The raw material was about 16 gb. First, I had to change it to a suitable iMovie-format. Okay. It took approximately half an hour until I found the right converter for my .avi-files. At the second, a couple of cutting and editing hours later, I made the decision to upload it directly from iMovie to YouTube. There’s a handy function…

Estimated time: less than 1 hour.

Whatever, there was nothing to do for me anyway. In the meantime I did the challenge mode and beat up some poor Joker henchmen again. Hahah.

And then! Almost 60 minutes later, I got an „communication error“. Please try again. PLEASE TRY AGAIN!! Guys, it was about 2:00 am. I took the conventional way on youtube.com, just 1:15 h wait. To hell with it!

At 3:00 am everything was done. My video was online and everything was fine.

Hope you like it!

midges

11:50 pm. I’m sitting here, in front of my computer. There are three windows in my room, all of them are wide open now. I like the noises. Next to my house is a through road, you shouldn’t think it’ll be quiet at night. No, I’m even wondering where all these cars are headed. Every few seconds another one… vroooom. I accustomed to that, it’s not so bad. But what is worse are all those little critters. Midges, moths, mosquitos and so on. Some of them siege the luminous display, others go for my warm and sweaty skin. It’s disgusting and everything itches.

I recently watched Ken Park and how shall I put it…? After the exciting intro it went to the dogs, except for the role of James Ransone, Tate.

A bit later he stabs his grandparents to death. Fuckers.

Rather good as a pastime, nothing more.  Yet another point I can check off from my to do-list (I’m going to show it to you one time). I think a midge or something bit me right now, darn.

Anyway,  i’ll turn off  my computer immediately and go to bed. “Dark Side of the Moon” should be good for tonight. Vroooooom.

Brenkster Tools Promotion on YouTube

by sp | | June 19th, 2009 | tools, updates, videos | No Comments »

Dear valued reader! Not everyone is as smart as you, sometimes you have to lead a horse to water. For that reason I’ve decided to make a YouTube-video to convince even the last guy in the world of Brenkster Tools. I love YouTube and always wanted to upload a video, but I’ve never had a good idea until lately.

After that the following question came up: how do I represent our blog visual? batpawn and me associate Brenkster Tools always with something industrial, dark and wicked. Brenkster is a machine, which end of assembly line is the blog. Therefore I’ve collected a plenty of machine and factory pictures. My intention was always to overlay screenshots from our articles, which are accompanied by weird industrial-sounds. If a special ton was heard, one or two of my machine pictures should be fade in – but only for a split of a second!

However, my limited skills in video editing foiled me. I’ve had never make a video before, so iMovie was absolutely new ground. Either with Final Cut Express I couldn’t assemble my initially ideas. By the way, how tricky is that fucking piece of software?! On apple.com Steve Jobs praises the „great iMovie-compatibilitiy“ but in the end the imported material is everything else than useful.

Hmm, stop talking around the bush. Look!

As said above, the machine pictures comes from Google. The music is a find of jamendo.com. That’s a website for free music downloads. I think all tastes will be satisfied.

I’ve had a lot of fun while doing this video stuff and I promise you: that was not the last video I’ve made.
