Obligatory Update

Image via WikipediaBeing painfully aware that I haven't posted anything in ages, here is 'a post' that I hope may once again open the floodgates to tidal waves of entertaining and informative articles for many months to come.

Obviously the fact that I haven't posted anything means that nothing of note has happened over the last month. Global financial crisis? I don't have any money and therefore don't give a shit. In fact, using my lovely graduate overdraft that I couldn't possibly pay back, I'm probably a part of the problem. Which I'm choosing to believe makes me powerful. Hear that Wall Street?! Want your £2,000 back? Well you can fuck off! HAH!

Here's a list of facts:

• Voyager One are good. Not massively original but good.
• I tracked them down after their music was featured on a recent update to LG15:The Resistance, (also featured here), now in its 5th week and turning out to be a good Buffy for the Myspace generation.
• Dead Set, E4 Big Brother Zombie mashup penned by Charlie Brooker (Nathan Barley co-writer/satirical bastard), sounds awesome.
• Big Art is Massive.

Anyway, apologies for such an arbitrary update. It's not you, it's me.

LG15: The Resistance kicks off

The third web series from LG15 Studios, creators of LonelyGirl15 and KateModern, officially started today following a series of tasters over the course of last week. The first episode is a kind of montage of these clips, arranged around a story of a girl being held by a sinsister organisation called the Hymn of One (which will be familiar to fans of the previous two series').

The Resistance appears to centre around a mysterious organisation calling itself the Hymn of None, which is apparently a resistance to the Order, who have been kidnapping and killing girls for their blood... Their first move is to try to recruit the reluctant Jonas (another character from the Breeniverse) as their leader.

It looks like there are due to be ARG elements also. The video mentions an auction that will be taking place in just over a week, while one of the earlier videos features a flash of this URL. Intriguing...
