Basilisk - student short film by Ami Thompson (Sheridan College).
She had been intern at Ghibli and Disney studios.

I've already reviewed Home on the blog back when it came out. Back then it was held back by a few interface and QA issues. These have been fixed in patches by now, allowing me to streamline the review to what really matters and fit it into this column.

Since that is a mere rehash from an old review, we also feature some new content with a look at Little Inferno, a flaming physics sandbox by the creators of World of Goo and Henry Hatsworth. Is it a meaningful experience or just a mindless catalyst for pyromaniac desires? Find out in our review!

Adidas Originals' 90s basketball renaissance ain't running out of puff yet, with the GLC keeping ladies busy and the Hackmore ready and willing to wile out for the lads. This new 'Mad Villain' pack stacks the Hack in two wicked colourways – a black/blue/yellow edition and a downright demonic red/black/grey pufferfish. These comfy ball bangers also come equipped with massive Trefoil stamping, a straitjacket strap to keep the crazy in, and evil speckling conspiring on the midsole. Cop the contraband couple from adidas Originals stockists right about now. Pics via HB. 

CK Tsang (chiukeung) continues his fantastic series of miniaturized retro hardware with a LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System, complete with Light Gun for playing Duck Hunt.

eldeem brings you a diorama inspired by the 1942 painting Nighthawks by Edward Hopper. The scene is the culminating installment of the builder’s “Hawks in the Night” series, which features some very effective camera work.

If you’re a fan of the painting, you might have missed Alex Eylar’s Nighthawks of the Living Dead, featured on this august blog back in 2010.

A. Yates (A YATES INDUSTRIALS.) has been on a roll lately with a series of small mecha he calls Labor Force Mechanicals. This particular version is the block-headed LFM-3 “Plunk“, and although it may lack the character of the LFM-2, I think the splash of color makes up for it. And yes, Virginia, it fits a fig. It is also nice to see a mecha once in a while that doesn’t have a gun or a giant flaming sword. I love violent robots as much as the next guy; I just like a little variety.

“The Singing Ringing Tree” is a musical sculpture near Burnley in the North West of England built by architects Tonkin Liu. It was designed in 2004 and completed at the end of 2006. It is one of four landmark art projects called “Panopticons” built in the early 2000′s in Lancashire. The film above was directed by Zsolt Sándor with sound by A Man Called Adam.

The tree is constructed of stacked pipes of varying lengths, orientated to lean into the directions of the prevailing wind. As the wind passes through the different lengths of pipe, it plays different chords. Each time you sit under the tree, looking out through the wind, you will hear a different song.

The tree won a 2007 award for architectural excellence from the Royal Institute of British Architects. As part of the project’s launch local kids and young adults wrote fanciful stories inspired by the sculpture.

Why are Australians so goddamn crazy? Listen to how calm these two Aussies sound while they accidentally drive towards last week's tornado, then calmly try to outrun it (initially in reverse!):

(I'd have warned you that the language is NSFW, but I'm not sure "fack" officially qualifies as a curse.)

Perhaps the reason Australians are such a hardy, unflappable lot is because the country's so rugged. I was reminded of this when I recently watched this brief clip of a Mercedes G-Wagen that has been modified and ruggedized for the Australian Defence Force:
