I recently wrote a small piece about the Christian guitar game Guitar Praise for NYT-liite. While I was googling myself, I discovered that I’d been cited as a source in the Finnish language Wikipedia article about the game. I also discovered that the Wikipedia article about the game was really Continue Reading

Antarctic Research Blog #84 – With Byrd at the South Pole
Documentary: With Byrd at the South Pole (U.S.A. 1930) This is a documentary shot during Richard Byrd’s First Antarctic Expedition, 1928-1930.

Lautapeleistä Hesariin
Kirjoitin lautapeleistä Helsingin Sanomiin artikkelikokonaisuuden, joka julkaistiin 19.12.2008. Pääjuttu käsitteli pelisuunnittelija Kimmo Sorsamoa ja hänen julkaisematonta peliään Maximus.

Videopeliarvosteluja
Tän päivän Hesarissa on peräti kolme mun tekemää videopeliarvostelua. Mukana on isompi juttu Fallout 3:sta (josta ylläoleva kuva on peräisin) ja joukko miniarvosteluja, joista Fable II ja LittleBigPlanet on mun aikaansaannosta ja Mirror’s Edge ja Dead Space Jussi Ahlrothin käsialaa.
Abandoned Antarctica
The web publication Dark Roasted Blend has an article about photos of abandoned places in Antarctica. These are from Deception Island: These are from the island of South Georgia, long a base for whaling operations: via Ectoplasmosis!
Antarctic Research Blog #82 – Retrograde
Film: Christopher Kulikowski: Retrograde (Luxembourg, Italy, U.K. U.S.A. 2004) Ed Wood’s Plan 9 From Outer Space is not the worst movie in the world. The worst movies are like this Dolph Lundgren late career vehicle, cheap, pointless and soulless things with no personality whatsoever. Retrograde’s Antarctic elements are surprisingly accurate, Continue Reading
