Design and Wonder in the Everyday

The pie is no lie

Thanks to Ars Technica for introducing us to the spectacular game trailer for The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. The game, which debuted at the 2008 Independent Games Festival, was just released on Xbox Live Arcade. Amazingly, Winterbottom was originally created for the Student Showcase at the IGF and wasn’t initially intended for commercial release. The game trailer alone made Agena Agogo because of its visuals inspired by the silent film era. Oh yeah, and the gameplay looks great too (it has pie!).

The name stinks, but look at SyFy go

SyFy

I, like many, hold a certain disdain for the SciFi Network’s decision to rebrand itself as SyFy, but the network is challenging nonbelievers with this extraordinary trailer for the House of Imagination. Tell me you don’t want to go here, and you tell me you’ve smothered your inner child.
