This is a super fast post tonight. I’m in the middle of trying to crack the final story points on “A Night of Gatecrashing: Book Two” (I’m damn close). But I had to share this. It’s like Ashley Wood meets Steve Spielberg meets Ingmar Bergman.

Robots, Dinosaurs, curious kids and regular old folks.
The NY Comic Con 2014 Video
Our friend Rahil shot a video for us of The Gatecrashers team heading to NY Comic Con. check it out.
Talad Rom Hoop Market
“Market Umbrella Pulldown”
This is what the Gatecrasher lanes in District 08 look like everyday. As the siren’s whoop and blare, the street market peels back just in the nick of time as sleds fly past, then fall back into place. I found this video link here at Amusing Planet. Follow the link to see some awesome pictures.
Darknet Explorations
A few articles caught my attention this weekend. This one is pretty awesome What happens when a software bot goes on a darknet shopping spree? via TheGuardian.com
These and other questions are all explored in a new exhibition, The Darknet: From Memes to Onionland, at The Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen, an hour east of Zürich, Switzerland.
A robot deployed on the dark web over the past few weeks has bought a pair of fake Diesel jeans, a baseball cap with a hidden camera, a stash can, a pair of Nike trainers, a decoy letter (used to see if your address is being monitored), 200 Chesterfield cigarettes, a set of fire-brigade issued master keys, a fake Louis Vuitton handbag, and 10 ecstasy pills.

I found my way to the Guardian story via io9.com – who used a still from Jake Schreier’s Robot and Frank to illustrate the story. Nice work Jake. 🙂 I’m using one here too.
There’s also a nice story on Forbes.com theorizing on similar subject matter:
A Robot Really Committed A Crime: Now What?
Cardboard VR at Comic Con
Blink and you’ll miss me. But I have a pair and (all nausea aside), they’re pretty dope.

On Bleeding Cool
Did a little interview with Shawn Perry over at Bleeding Cool. This was from the floor of NY Comic Con in October. We’re the matching yellow shirt guys…
Cannon Busters
This looks awesome. Just found it over on Digriot.com. It’s a very cool looking animated series by LeSean Thomas and he’s got a Kickstarter rolling to raise funds for an 8 – 10 minute animated short. Take a look.
Shipping Container Collection
So, this article has certainly made the rounds, but you know, shipping containers hold a warm place in my heart. These customizations are awesome, all of them of course are built with drastically more resources than the citizens of Rivertown would have, but I’m sure there’s some ideas in here to build on.
