I’m pretty stoked about the new ALIEN movie so I did a quick ALIEN/PROMETHEUS knock off comic for fun, starring the amazing Ingrid Mouth

Figured I’d do more pages, and actually flesh this thing out. So a cover page and the actual first page xD

Added the rest of the preview pages to this post so I could reblog it for Alien Day. :D

The original plans were so insane. This would make a great setting for a SF novel.

Firewatch: Story ist alles

Manchmal braucht es nicht mehr als eine gute Geschichte – das beweist das Indiespiel Firewatch auf beeindruckende Weise: Auf der Flucht vor einem deprimierenden Leben mit einer schwer kranken Frau sucht Henry Halt in der totalen Isolation – als Ausgucker in der Wildnis Wyomings. Immer in Funkkontakt mit Kollegin Delilah sucht der Mitvierziger nach etwaigen Feuerbedrohungen oder hindert pubertierende Teens an der Vermüllung der im malerischen Comiclook gehaltenen Waldlandschaft. Als zwei Junge Mädchen vermisst werden und ein Schatten Henry aus der Ferne beobachtet, wird aus einem meditativen Selbstfindungsdrama ein packender Videospiel-Thriller. Den erzählt Entwickler Campo Santo Bioshock-ähnlich fast gänzlich via Funkverkehr und integriert Multichoice-Dialoge, die die immer spannendere Story dezent, vor allem aber die glaubwürdige Beziehung der Hauptfiguren formen. Fesselnd bis zum etwas enttäuschenden Ende! 9/10

Reminds me how basically all the “hacking” in Mr. Robot involved people guessing passwords.

Yesyesyes.

In 2009, astronaut Leland Melvin was photographed for his official NASA portrait. But instead of it just being of him, he brought along his two rescue dogs named Jake and Scout.

The Future of Video Is a Wonderful Mess - NYMag

The early web aesthetic, best typified by Geocities and later by Myspace, prized owner customization over audience usability. The most important thing about your little corner of the web was that it satisfied you, rather than your visitors. People need to hear this MIDI version of Yellowcard’s “Ocean Avenue” when they visit my page — who cares if it makes for a terrible user experience?

The uniformity of Facebook profiles (and Twitter profiles, and those of most modern social networks) solved this problem by taking all that customization away. You couldn’t tweak your profile’s layout, or add auto-play music, or even add GIFs. Cover photos do a bit to spice things up, but not much. And, despite some growing pains, the homogeneity of Web 2.0 means web surfers rarely have to worry about loading a page and getting served bad fonts, low-res images, and tags. It’s a much cleaner experience for the user, especially on the smaller and slower mobile browsers that have become increasingly common — and it’s a much more profitable experience for the companies that own these social networks, which can segment audiences and sell ads much more easily.

But we’re entering an age that’s moving away from text and static images and toward multimedia — video specifically — that threatens to upend web aesthetics yet again. Unless they want to accept the substantial costs associated with processing video, platforms are powerless in compelling users to adhere to any sort of style guide or uniformity. Online video is the new Myspace, and it’s chaotic and cluttered and garish, and I love it.
