Sol Invicto preview video

Here's a fan-made preview video for the Initium II EP. The video was shot by Llyod Ramsay, who will also be directing the video for the track 10.0. Head on over to Vimeo, where you can download the clip, after watching it below.

Coffee, axes and trousers

Here's an Idees vol Vrees comic from a month or so ago. It's in Afrikaans, and it's about coffee. I thought it was pretty funny when I first came across it, but now I feel it's more appropriate to share, mostly because of this. 

Direct translations for those of you who don't understand Afrikaans:

Blue Jacket: Ek drink koffie [I'm drinking coffee]

Grey Jacket: Ek kap 'n chino [I'm chopping a chino]

Admittedly, the direct translation probably still isn't funny, but 'kap 'n chino,' would sound very similar to cappuccino when spoken. If its' still not funny, then there's not much more I can do except apologise for sharing a comic which isn't funny if you don't understand Afrikaans.

††† - The epilogue

Finally, after waiting a month since the last teaser video from †††, we have been given the opportunity to listen to the first complete track off the band's third release. The epilogue is possibly the best track to come from the project so far.

††† have also posted the date 11/12/13 on their Facebook account, suggesting the release date for the third EP, as well as a grainy Instagram picture (right) with the caption '†es†,' confirming that the EP will be released on a physical format.

I hope this will be released on CD too, as that is my preferred format, although I'll probably order the vinyl anyway if it isn't.

While I was listening to the album, I decided to try my hand at making an animated gif, based on the Scar the Martyr website. I think it worked out pretty well.

Time lapse video from within the GTA V world

This incredible video was captured entirely inside the virtual world of Grand Theft Auto V. The developers behind GTA V have really pushed the limits of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, to produce what could be the best game on both consoles in quite some time. No wonder the PC gamers of the world are feeling so neglected.

I'm also starting to regret my decision to cancel my pre-order, although I do still have the entire Resistance Trilogy, and Diablo III to play, as well as few more achievements in various other games to unlock. There is no doubt though, that when the time is right, I'll get myself a copy of GTA V.
