Musings from a travelling Steampunk

Steampunk Alice

Traveler | 30. Juli 2010

After posting the article on Sucker Punch, I suddenly remembered this weird-victorianesque computer game American McGee’s Alice, I played it some time in 2000: Just look at the graphics, they were state of the art back then but they look, well, outdated now. Anyway, I was quite surprised and pleased to find out a sequel [...]

More Art from Iron Grip: Marauders

Traveler | 30. Juni 2010

Ah, so beautiful! I really cannot wait until Iron Grip: Marauders finally goes online. The artwork alone: Massive Steampunk warmachines! Epic!

Traveler | 1. Juni 2010

Ah, another great day in the life of a Steampunk. The H.M.S. Ophelia made a pass over my house today and delivered a lovely pair of Jodhpurs, which I am wearing right now. The familial developments are advancing and I can now foresee a time when I will no longer be able to do daily [...]

The physicist Michio Kaku once refered to the ætherweb (of course he used the more common term internet) as a Civilization Type I communication system (for more on this one and if you do [...]

Steampunk for your lunchbreak

Traveler | 16. Mai 2010

Kudos to Timo for once again for pointing me towards a most excellent piece of Steampun entertainment on the ætheweb: Guns of Icarus This is a nifty little game where you have to defend your Zeppelin agains sky pirates. I have only tried the free version thus far but it is tremendous steampunky fun already. [...]

Screenshots and a short rant

Traveler | 13. Mai 2010

So here are two screenshots from the video I mentioned in yesterday’s post, they are from a in-game cut-scene: Looks good! It also reminds me a bit of this cheesy 80′s video by A-HA “Take on me”, anyone remember that one? Yes, I am actually old enough to remember it being aired on both MTV [...]
