A Social Conundrum Gets A Stylish Site and Shop. Check Out The MFK Daily.

You may know it as Marry, Murder, F*ck or Marry, F*ck or Kill. Either way, the addictive game of determining which, from three members of the opposite sex, you'd like to make love, make a lifetime commitment or simply eradicate from earth has been turned into a well-designed and clever online site and shop.




Advertising copywriter Thom Cordner and Art Director Amanda Mourenza pooled their sick sense of humor and their smart sense of style to design The MFK Daily (and the goodies that go with it). An appealing looking, easy to navigate website featuring the MFK game for both male and female players - straight, gay or otherwise - with seemingly endless options.






The clever trios, from which you are to choose, are grouped by everything from such general categories as Athletes and Politicians to as specific as your favorite Irish actors or the same actress in three different roles.




Not only can you play the game, but as soon as you've chosen, you can see where your own tastes lie in comparison with others who play:




Not big on online game playing? Do not fret, they sell well-designed hilarious card versions of the game that also do double duty as flirtational devices when left, boxes checked, at the proper places - or in the proper hands.

MFK Daily Cards:

There are over twenty different 1" x 2.5" cards and more to come.


Not to be outdone by the MFK cards and the website, Thom and Amanda spared no expense - or talent- when it came to desiging a large selection of hip t-shirts and women's panties.

Fabulous MFK T-shirts and underwear.

Colorful neon flocked appliques of the game name or icons are available on various colored shirts for both men and women:


T-shirts in which you can tick off any box or none at all:

And other fun MFK Daily tees in men's or women's styles with lots of color options:


And black or white women's undies:

Mario Bros. Comes Alive as Graffiti on a Sidewalk (and how it was done).

This video was part of Andreas Heikaus' Bachelor thesis at the University of Applied science and art in Hannover, Germany. In his project, the Super Mario Bros. game, released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, is no longer bound to the television screen and becomes interactive in a new environment. The emphasis of Andreas' thesis was on the process of matching CG elements into live-action footage.



How he did it:

Dead Island Gory Game Trailer Forward & Reversed At Slow Speed & Regular Speed.

Admittedly I'm up to my severed neck in Zombies, but this trailer [which has an opening shot of the eye of a dead female reminiscent of Hitchcock's Pyscho scene, ] for the upcoming gruesome video game Dead Island has been getting a lot of buzz lately, and deservedly so. Purposely shot backwards and accompanied by a beautiful piece of music, the cgi rendered trailer has been controversial for its blood and gore, but it's so compelling, one has to commend it for its production quality and undeniable appeal.



The trailer, released on youtube last week has already garnered almost 2 million views and has spawned a recut of the original by various people. Below it is shown in reverse- which would be forwards, with the music reversed on the same slow speed.



And Geekologie has shown it re-cut at normal speed with another piece of music ["Breathe Me" by Sia] by Aaron R. and Jon B. of Harcos Labs:



The game combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to 4 players in co-op mode.

Here are some stills from the not yet released game which takes place on the fictional resort paradise, Banoi Island:








The game is due out later this year.

You can see the original trailer as an mp4 at the official site, nice and huge here.

Brass Monki Puts Pop Culture On Kicks Resulting In The Coolest Custom Nikes.

above: Street artist Banksy's Rat recreated on pair of leather Nikes designed and sold online by Brass Monki

Brass Monki is a talented 22 year old artist named Daniel Reese who hails from Merseyside [near Liverpool] in the UK. In 2009 he began using software to place pop culture imagery and icons from video games, movies, art, comic books, logos and other popular brands upon footwear.



The response was so positive, he began to actually hand paint one-off pairs of leather Nikes and sell them online. His eye for composition and color makes his creations very desirable as wearable art. Below are his designs, several of which are available for purchase.
