From Wirebot:

It’s pretty much agreed on that some games are art-based - they feature beautiful and/or stylistic artwork, and sometimes the art is really what makes the game. Many games can be called a work of art. But can a work of art be a game? Usually the art in a game takes the backseat, aiding and enhancing the gaming experience. But recently a number of games have begun to question what would happen if the art was the game. The point is not to get through the game and “win,” the point is to just play for the sake of playing. Sometimes, there is no point. The focus lies in the experience. You as a player are placed inside a work of art, and your actions influence the whole artwork in general, or help you discover new ways of seeing it.

You might call it interactive art. More »

Though some might use the expression “Beauty is only skin deep,” growing up in America we all know that is a complete lie. Beauty means everything in our society, and that transfers over into the video game nerd universe as well. Maybe not so much for the players, but definitely for the medium. We don’t want anymore polygon hands or paper thin environments! What we really want is CGI cutscenes and explosions so realistic looking that the heat from the blast comes right off the screen and punches us in the face!

Okay, maybe I got a little carried away there. The point though, remains. Beauty and fashion are important to us denizens of earth and because of this, Mixr Media is launching a brand new site called Flauntme! Why you ask? BECAUSE WE GOT IT! More »

From Ningin: Japanese cosmetics pioneer Shu Uemura has once said, “Beautiful make-up starts with beautiful skin.” I may not be a beauty expert, but I respond with, “Beauty web sites start with Ningin specials dedicated to Asian beauty because Ningin is a community of beautiful people.” Obviously, Mr. Uemura is more of the wordsmith when it comes to beauty. As of today, our newest Mixr sibling site FlauntMe, will be your one-stop destination for all things related to beauty, regardless of what color you are. To celebrate FlauntMe’s launch, we’ve got a lot of fun blog posts dedicated to Asian beauty planned! More »
