MacGyver’s Houseboat Listed on eBay

April 20, 2012 by 2 Comments

The boathouse used during the Vancouver seasons of MacGyver has been posted on eBay by the owner. The house was the base of operations for Richard Dean Anderson’s gadget-building crimefighter in the 1980’s. The house has since been painted bright blue, and its Coal Harbour berthing has probably sent its value skyrocketing. Owner Dave Edmonson has refused to disclose the reserve on it, but the 2 million dollar sale of the boathouse from Sleepless in Seattle means Aunt Patty and Selma are probably have to take out 3rd and 4th mortgages to afford this baby.

Continuum Trailer Reveals Vancouver of 2077

April 19, 2012 by 1 Comment

Showcase has released a new trailer for its new series Continuum. The show features Rachel Nichols as Kiera Cameron, a government agent who follows a group of terrorists from the year 2077 back to 2012. This shot of future Vancouver will probably only be seen in the pilot, but hopefully there will be more opportunity for futuristic whiz-bangery in our fair city as the series progresses.

Set Photos from Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters

April 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Hollywood North On Location has taken some very exclusive photos from the set of the Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. Logan Lerman and Alexandra Daddario return as Percy and Annabeth. Annabeth now looks like, well, Annabeth, so more points in favour of the new movie! Douglas Smith may look a little too pretty in these pictures to be playing Tyson, the seven-year-old cyclops, but a little CGI and acting magic will take care of that.

In September 2011, Ryan Payton from 343 Industries left his job to start a company called Camoflaj. This iOS game called Republique was the result. The game starts off with a video call from Hope, a girl who has been imprisoned and watched by a mysterious nation state all her life. With the interface on your phone, you must guide her using security cameras and hacking computers, as well as using doors, traps and other devices against her pursuers. Payton and company have to raise $500,000 to get the game going, and a $10 donation will get you the game once it’s finished. Don’t miss out on a truly unique gameplay experience and donate today!

Reviews on the Run.

Halo 4 Gets November 6th Launch Date

April 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment

At long last, 343 Industries has revealed November 6th as the date for the next installment of the Halo Series. We know that the new trilogy takes place 4 years after Halo 3 and little else. The only other details given were that Master Chief would “confront his destiny” and “save the universe.” Again? The release date also takes place on election day, the political implications of which we can only begin to speculate.
