  New York Gets Destroyed 8-bit Style VIDEO 

  mattiwaarna — April 08, 2010 — Imagine the apocalypse. Now imagine characters and elements from 80s games carrying it out. This is exactly what this crazy video portrays, and being a classic games geek myself, if this sort of thing were to happen in real life, Im not sure whether Id run or marvel at the sight.

  Its all there — Pacman, Tetris, Arkanoid. Once-friendly, familiar characters wreak havoc on the buildings, streets and cars of New York. The video was created by Patrick Jean from the Paris-based special effect studio One More Production, and the production level is nothing short of amazing. See for yourself.

This panel is sponsored by Microsoft Silverlight.

  This panel was very interesting and went into the different ways information that is dispersed has altered over the past few years, what constitutes a good and bad application and how brands should be interacting with their users.

  In the past, a reduction in size meant a reduction in functionality. In today’s market, people expect a reduction in form size, but not performance. Mobility doesn’t mean lack in functionality.
