Thursday we found ourselves heading to the Belgian Tron Legacy première in Ghent. The people behind it all were so kind to send us an invite and before we knew it we found ourselves walking up a red laser-beam carpet amongst good company.

Curious to see what all the fuzz was/is about, we took our seats, put on our 3D glasses (the movie is partially 3D, partially 2D), sat back in our seats and waited to get blown away by the sequel to the 1982 film Tron.

First off, you don’t go to see Tron Legacy for the dialogue or story in my opinion, you go for the graphics/visual thunderstorm they blast at you & the already legendary Daft Punk soundtrack.  I also have to add that you must go see the movie in a theatre as I doubt you can have the same experience on a home screen.

That’s what makes it a good movie and I expect that the film savvy people of the interwebs will share their professional opinions the next days/weeks, making my opinion utterly irrelevant

I finally folded and went for a PS3. After years of SNES I finally got a piece of modern technology fitted right under my TV.

Right now where hammering through GT5, but will pretty soon be needing some much needed diversification when it comes to the games department, so all tips are welcome.

You can find me under AndrewVassallo on the playstation network btw. Holla!

Met some great people, had some great experiences, (re)discovered artists, heard some great mixtapes, saw wonderfull street art, got some (product) reviews up and overall featured some great content (although it was not always that great ).

Concertwise we had a good year, with highlights being a studio session by MGMT, the Prodigy concert in Lille, a showcase by Janelle Monae, Chromeo in BXL and the Gorillaz concert in Antwerp.

We also crossed the border several times. Ended up visiting London for Young Scum and ended up there two weekends in a row due to circumstances, went to Paris for the Offf Festival, where we got to stay in the great Hidden Hotel. After that we topped this all off with held a midsummer roadtrip to Croatia & Slovenia before finishing the summer with a quick visit to Amsterdam.

Started reading again in between this all and did some home brewing before finishing everything of with some family time in MT.

As you can see, we ended up sharing all these experiences and still this ended up being the blogpost which read the most throughout the entire year.

All we can say, 2010 has been a blast and who would have thought we would be able to have done it all from one of the greatest cities in the world! Have a great time going from old to new and we’ll see each other once again in 2011! Out with the old one says!

Awesome! If only online retailing had existed when I was a kid, I would have been a regular customer at Brickarms.

When it comes to gaming consoles I stopped at the SuperNintendo (although we once also had a Nintend0 64 & Sega we had found lying around on the curb) and I must admit the SNES still rocks anno 2010. Nothing fancy, the simplicity of the games and the hunt for new games. I have spent a lot of time walking around flee markets, surfing the interwebs for the best games and its still all hooked up to the TV as we speak.

I must admit though, there is nothing that beats a good fight amongst friends with Honda, Blanka or any other Street Fighter character or some classic Mario. All for the love of NINTENDO

Couple of weeks left till FACTS, the biggest comics, sci fi & anime festival of the Benelux. Never been there before, but curious to go and have a look Have a feeling it will be straight out of space!

Might just have to dig up the old Lego bricks. Also diggin’ the whole transformer table cloth/bed spread theme that’s going on. Memories straight out of the childhood years.

Sometimes I really wonder what it must be like to grow up or live in Japan or another Asian country. The following ad just reminded me af that. Its an anime themed commercial for Nike which features a futuristic sneaker wearer battling skyscraper size robots.

What’s not to love about the whole anime & manga culture. Out.

(through PSFK)

Team William‘s You look familiar is without any doubt one of the coolest vids I’ve seen in a while, I kid you not. I have not even started about the track itself. It looks so familiar to a cartoon I once saw, but I just can not seem to place it. Seems these local cats made it on to Boing Boing with the vid. They describe it as “animation with a Fleischer Bros’ bounce” whatever that may be. All I know is that some parts are NSFW. Reminds me of the following Flairs clip we once mentioned. Out.

Truckers Delight animated video clip directed by newcomer wunderkid Jérémie Perin (Premiere Heure) who takes the song’s title (a tribute to those little pleasures that the lonely truck- driver indulges himself in) and takes it to the next level. Think Spielberg’s Duel + Russ Meyer’s Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! and Marc Dorcel’s wildest fantasies. All warped into an 8-bit Sega era style graphic. And this clumsy and somehow pretentious description doesn’t even come close to what you’re about to see: it’s très funny,très dirty, -très sexy. Très Flairs indeed.

Busted… You read “Porn?!” and thought ‘lets have a look’! We knew you’d click on through after having seen those magic words! Well what you see is what you get, and that’s “Cyporn”, a set of animated pixel porn scenes running on a Game Boy. Its an art installation brought to is by Pierrick Thébault, who’s a French user interface designer and journalist for Amusement Magazine. He blogs about the convergence of art and media and is interested in video game development. He is also the founder of the llllllllllllllll (L16) Collective and is inspired by his stay in Asia to create interactive installations involving dolls, user generated content, and imagery from Kawaii.

You can check his entire set of cyporn overhere. Out.

Wii skateboard… nuff said. If you want more info head over to Radcollector where we picked this one up.
