In a world where Michael Bay has an unlimited budget and a reality-TV show of his own, he might come up with something like Split/Second from Disney Interactive Studios, developed by Black Rock Studio. Indeed that’s loosely the premise of the game. You are a contestant on a television show in which you race against other drivers on a sacrificial race track which is one part urban recreation and two parts obstacle course and all demolition zone.

Pure Digital Technologies Inc. isn’t the most well known of brands. Ask people what they make and most wouldn’t know but show them a Flip Video camera and they’re instantly interested. Its quite a nice lineup of products they’ve got with a very focused direction; simplicity in photography. The Flip Video series has been tremendously well received by bloggers and social media aficionados but yet the brand, in Canada at least, is relatively unknown.With a value price point and a solid product you would think the original Flip Video cameras would be tremendously popular but soon after their release in Canada they started to show their age in as much as they did not support high definition. By that point it was fast becoming a necessity. The cameras promoted their Easy-To-YouTube abilities so then once YouTube began to support HD footage, the lack of HD in the Flip cameras became the elephant in the room.
Anthony Bourdain, snarky, lovable, and articulate man-about-town is used to talking about food, drink, and the culture surrounding them. He’s not known for being politically correct or mainstream and doesn’t tend to make a secret of his opinions. His cander and wit have propelled him into our hearts as he picked on food television and the restaraunt industry, cutting it down to size and teaching it some humility. For a change he’s tackled children’s television now. The results are pretty good, even comparing the Backyardigans to Grand Theft Auto. Way to branch out Tony.
