Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
Yes I know I said The Pipeline 2.0 was launching tomorrow, but earlier isn’t necessarily a bad thing is it?
| Add The Pipeline: Entertainment Within a Box to your page |
Remember that you can now post text, audio, and video comments! You can check some out in the Welcome to The Pipeline show. So go check them out and post your own on any video that you want to!
If you read this blog, you’ve noticed that I’ve talked a lot about The Pipeline update. Yes… it’s coming… Doesn’t this all sound familiar?
Tomorrow, August 30th 2007 the world will be able to use the new player design!
Here’s a list of all the new features:
1. Video, Audio, or Text Comments – For any item in a show, YOU can now record or upload a video or audio comment as well as leave a text comment.
2. Easier item navigation – We know that we have tons of shows (around 50) and that each show has a ton of items for everyone to watch. Navigating through all of this content has been somewhat of a nightmare. With thumbnail navigation and the corresponding item title you won’t have to load each item to figure out what it is!
3. Captions – The captions box displays the Name of each item in your show. As always, the player fades away after a few seconds, but if you prefer, you can always close the caption box while navigating through the items if desired.
4. Full Screen button – View the player in full screen mode.
5. Pause/Play button – Pause actually pauses everything now… even background music. This is a great feature for everyone watching our slide shows.
6. Send button – Email friends and family a link directly to your favorite item or to an entire show.
7. Follow Me – You can now receive email updates to when a show has been updated. By clicking the Info button on bottom right you can access the new “follow me” link.
Ever wondered what a Star Wars-Transformers mashup would look like? It will sure as hell look as friggin’ cool as this! What you see above, folks is the Hasbro Star Wars Transformer Deluxe Death Star which you can buy for only $50 at Amazon!
The Vader gadget we see electronic light and sounds, a Darth Vader pilot mini figure, 2 TIE Fighter mini vehicles and 3 Stormtrooper mini figures. The Rebels will not escape this time, since Hasbro hasn’t confirmed whether there will be a convenient hole in the toy to drop that proton torpedo in.
We’ve also laid our eyes on one awesome, but weird Chewbacca-Millenium Falcon Transformer, so you never know what’ll come next. I’d like to see what they do with R2D2 and C3PO. I mean, those are actually robots! Check out the photos below!
What happens when you take James Bond, VGcats style webcomics, sexual Innuendos and slap stick humor? Well if you do simple addition you get a really long name, but you can also get Double Oh. Double Oh is an awesome little webcomic about a Canadian secret agent named Semen… erm, Siemen. His job? Well just about the same as Jame Bond’s, save the world from insane scientific geniuses from ridiculously idiotic plans for world domination. The big difference is that Siemen seems to have a fetish for lasers and doesn’t seem to be as good at his job as Bond is. Bond infiltrates the secret bases without getting caught most of the time, Siemen kills all of the henchmen with his patented Laser Condom. It’s definitely worth a look if you love a good humorous comic, but not so much if you’re a big art snob.
