Eau Moirée

One my favorite web video series, Zero Punctuation is a weekly video game reviews created by comedy writer Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw and produced for online magazine The Escapist. Yahtzee’s hilarious animated reviews are fast-paced, expletive-laden and viciously rude. But most of all, his relentless quest for quality in such a crud-infested industry is both entertaining and inspirational.

“Nobody loves you like your mama loves you, but who’s lovin’ your mama ? I am. I am !” Check out this awesome 2005 video from electro-pop artist Kennedy. This song about a lecherous teacher and sassy school moms is guaranteed to either delight or offend you.

“You suck at Photoshop” is a demented series of web-based Photoshop mock-tutorials (or mockutorials) that chronicles the fictional mental breakdown of a graphic designer over his failed marriage.

An unpopular boy’s ambiguous relationship with his tormentors leads to dire consequences. In this teenage hell, a desperate longing for friendship, sexual repression, excessive religion and cruel pranks can be a deadly mix.

in The Night’s Dawn Trilogy (The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God), the very survival of humanity is on the line as the dead possess whole planets in a high-tech future. This massive epic is one hell of a ride ; a relentless and incredibly entertaining space-opera of awesome proportions !

A weird, touching and strangely unsettling movie about people looking for ways to connect with others and the importance of art and ritual.

A third-person shooter set in a Film Noir setting, this excellent sequel has all of the ingredients that made the first Max Payne adventure such a wonderful thrill : colourful characters, moody atmosphere, a great storyline, kick-ass cinematographic gameplay, matrix-like “Bullet Time” slow-motion, interaction with the environment and, of course, lots of guns !

Half-Life 2 feature a thoroughly immersive and engaging experience as you are drawn further into the ongoing saga of Gordon Freeman, scientist turned hero, and join the human resistance to Earth’s occupation by The Combine, a mysterious alien organization. Even if the underlying game technology has since been surpassed by other games, this follow-up to the ground-breaking Half-Life (1997) smash hit remains a mind-(and alien)-blowing experience of a rare level of intelligence and sensibility for any game.
