Escape from City 17

Inspired by the Half-Life 2, David and Ian Purchase created a short film titled Escape from City 17, which chronicles the escape from City 17 by some members of the citizens resistance. The commercial directing duo filmed guerrilla style with no money, no time, no crew, and no script. When they weren’t shooting they were hiding from security patrols in between takes. The spec project ballooned into a multipart series, and the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of only $500. The short was sent to Valve, who in result flew The Purchase Brothers out to their Seattle headquarters last year. The second episode is nearing completion.

Although I am far from being a fan of Seth Rogaine, this looks like it's one to watch. A Mallrats meets Taxi Driver, if you will.

Glass Pool Table

On the website of Nottage Design you can find the world’s first and only transparent pool table. This unique glass pool table is a design of Craig Nottage as part of an assignment in his final year of Industrial Design. The G-1 pool table is not just a concept but really exists and can be ordered online for 25,000 US dollars.

The G1 pool table is designed and produced in Australia. The designer Craig Nottage replaced the standard slate bed with a 15mm thick glass top. It has a playing surface made out of a patented resin material, called Vitrik. At Nottage Design they claim that it gives the same resistance as a felt topped pool table. Because the pool table is almost completely transparent you can also see its modern metal frame with integrated ball return. Together with the transparent pool table you’ll also get 2.25” balls, a triangle, 2 matching silver cues and a bridge stick.
