You aren’t a cinephile unless you owned one of these!

This was Pre-VHS, Pre-Beta, Pre-Laserdisc, and was my first movie collecting addiction. We had over 150 video discs including the Star Wars trilogy, The Rocky Movies, and Close Encounters…to this day in Empire Strikes Back when Yoda looks down after Luke enters the Tree of the Dark side on Dagobah I get an immediate nerve cue to get up and flip the disc (each side could only contain 60 minutes of content).

“What is this thing?” You  ask? Well it was the Capacitance Electronic Disc or CED; The first home movie viewing device post projecter developed by RCA in the late sixties, but not released to the public until 1980.

The format was commonly known as “videodisc”, leading to much confusion with the contemporary Laserdisc format. Laserdiscs were read optically with a laser beam, whereas CED videodiscs were read physically with a stylus, rather like a conventional gramophone record. The two systems were mutually incompatible.

The name “SelectaVision” was RCA’s brand name for the CED system. It was also used for some early RCA brand VCRs,and other experimental projects at RCA. Click ahead to see the How to video included with every Selectavision device! (more…)

Skrillex:Bangarang

Skrillex is back with a new album of 7 tracks that sonically alines itself more with the surprise breakout “Reptiles Theme” than with his previous release of Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. For those of you who didn’t like the more trancy Oakenfeld sound of Sprites you will greatly enjoy Bangarang. With Exception of Summit and Right on Time the remaining 5 songs burst with extreme bass ,8 bit Nintendo/Sega sounding melodic themes and what can be described as invading alien robot vocalizations.

Bangarang is almost a perfect electronic album, that can be played for anything from  grueling workouts to an intense gears of war match. Personally I would recommend it for the workout because you definitely don’t want to sit still while this album is playing. The only exceptions on the album come in the previously mentioned Right on Time which I found to be somewhat repetitive and uninteresting and Summit which while still good is definitely a more radio friendly typical trance track.

Next-gen Xbox promises six times the power

The next generation Xbox will ship to retailers in 2013 with six times the processing power of the Xbox 360, sources close to the project have told IGN.

Following initial reports from tech blogs Fudzilla and SemiAccurate, IGN’s sources have confirmed that mass production of the system’s graphics processing unit (GPU) will indeed begin by the end of 2012 but will not, however, be based on Advanced Micro Devices’ 7000 series Southern Islands GPU.

Instead, the processor will be derived from the 6000 series, which was introduced last year. More specifically, it will be akin to the Radeon HD 6670, which offers support for Microsoft’s DirectX 11 interface, multi-display output, 3D and 1080p HD output. The chip currently has a market price of upwards of $79.99.

In real terms, the Xbox 720′s raw graphics processing power is expected to be six times that of the Xbox 360 and will yield 20 percent greater performance than Nintendo’s forthcoming console, the Wii U.

Developers are likely to receive development kits based on the system’s final configuration in August and the new console will hit shelves in late October or early November of next year. Projected pricing for the system was not provided.

Hey! I’m Shannon Shuttleworth. I’m a 23-year-old from Columbia, SC. I’ve been modeling for a year now and I absolutely love every moment of it!

This year has been very good to me and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store! I’ve been published in 2 magazines and an art book. Hopefully many more will come my way! :D
I’m blessed to have so many supportive friends and I hope they all know how much that means to me!
