Morning Discussion

by Alice O'Connor, Jan 14, 2011 5:00am PST

I'm still catching up on my Inter-reading, and beginning to suspect that people are in fact writing new things all the time, so here's another wodge of links for you this rainy/snowy/dry/damp/wet/hot/cold/sleety/arid/scorching Friday/Saturday.

A collection of Czech and Polish posters for Godzilla and other Japanese monster movies. They're very stylish and cool, though 'Son of Godzilla' is curiously unsettling.

Branding blog Brand New takes a look at THQ's new logo and concludes that while there are a few problems, "it is a bold improvement over the previous one."

A video trip down the London sewers, complete with gawping at fatbergs and sniffing out how posh an area is. Pleasant lunchtime viewing.

Telephones ruin society, Wondermark discovered. Not your 'iPouch' or whatever it is you crazy kids gush over, but those old wired telephones (you don't believe me but these genuinely did exist). Back in 1889. It's been downhill since then, we can all agree.

Please note: This is a shill. Come play my new game!

Hi! You may know me from such posts as "come play my new game" and "ouch, my back hurts!". This morning me and my colleague released our new web based mmo game. Would you care to try it out? It's called Heroes vs Evil and in it you create either a super hero or a super villain and you do battles with each other and vie for supremacy over Metro City.

Sound like fun? It is! Here are some highlights of what can you do:

Build bases, fight evil, pull heists, build bombs, bomb buildings, find clues and hunt down criminals, capture new skills, find elite skills, participate in monthly events and much more! And all for free!

Here's the URLs you'll need: www.heroesvsevil.com and www.metro1news.com

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions or find bugs!
