    Tweet I try to avoid posting random video game videos, unless there’s something be learned… but this was too trippy to pass up. It’s amazing what you can do with a procedurally built world. The bigger the monitor you have, the more immersive the experience. If, at first you are...

    Tweet One of those mornings, then someone sends (yet another) Mario Kart video. I clicked and started watching… and although I’m not sure why, I started laughing. It was the bananas… definitely the bananas. Thanks to AC for this one. MARIO KART (REMI GAILLARD)by nqtv

    Tweet Love the use of music in that trailer. With the recent release of Bionic Commando: Rearmed, I’ve been thinking about other classic favorites. As a child of divorced parents who had joint custody, I alternated between mom’s and dad’s houses, every two weeks. The time spent with my dad...

Check out the video for a tech demo.  It looks like they’re using voxels to pull off the dynamic terrain.  By “dynamic”, I mean that the ground...
