Movie "Archon defenders"
Archon Defender
I am a one humanoid animation production force, I start from a box of unsharpened pencils and a stack of recipe cards, writing the script, drawing the storyboards, designing and building the characters, sets and models, recording the voice talent, animating, compositing FX and layers, editing, foley sound fx and music.
M Dot Strange came up with the term "Uberector" to describe what I do. As a film maker who handles all aspects of production, an Uber-Director, the Uberector is the first true filmmaker, and Digima technology, the tools of the Digital Cinema, make this possible.
There are very few Uberectors right now, but we are spreading like an unstoppable zombie invasion. Except, zombies who make cool films. Films that eat your brain...

Movie "9" trailer
This one is pretty freaky and extreme. Here is the trailer, the full feature is for rent on youtube for $2.99 
Academy Award-nominated for his groundbreaking animated short of the same name, filmmaker Shane Acker makes his feature directorial debut with this expanded version of his acclaimed post-apocalyptic fable. In a world parallel to our own, the worst has happened, and humanity is in danger of extinction. From the ashes of destruction emerges a courageous rag doll named 9 (voice of Elijah Wood) whose unique leadership skills could prove the key to survival for those who have not yet perished. Perhaps with a little help from his friends, who include domineering war veteran 1 (voice of Christopher Plummer), aging inventor 2 (voice of Martin Landau), stout mechanic 5 (voice of John C. Reilly), visionary artist 6 (voice of Crispin Glover), and fearless warrior 7 (voice of Jennifer Connelly), 9 will prove capable of salvaging what still remains of this world, and laying the groundwork for a hopeful future. Produced by Tim Burton, Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch), and Jim Lemley (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), 9 takes viewers on a surrealistic journey into a world where anything is possible.

Second Life, kinda related to Spore, Virtual World gaming
https://join.secondlife.com/?lang=en-US
Second Life is a highly imaginative, creative environment. Visiting Second Life is like stepping into a Dali or Magritte painting in 3D. The "fully textured high-resolution" avatars are customizable to the "nth" degree, with dozens of sliders to change every micro-pixel of your avatar's shape, size, and color. While some "Lifers" (the preferred nickname of Second Life citizens) do their best to create miniature versions of their offline bodies, most use the opportunity to make themselves look as strange as possible. You never know what (or who) you'll see in Second Life, which is part of the fun.
While many gamers visit Second Life, it is not a "gaming" world per se. The main in-world activity is the building of interactive objects using a scripting language that is theoretically designed to be simple enough for those with no previous programming experience. This fits in with Second Life's stated goal of encouraging widespread group participation and creativity. Objects can be either donated to the world or can be sold for "Linden Dollars."
Second Life's often bizarre "waking dream" atmosphere may appeal more to creative artist and techie folks than to the casual social chatter. The world is so rich in features there is a bit of a learning curve to overcome to get started, which is somewhat alleviated by well-written help files available at the site and a first-visit tutorial. The very name "Second Life" conveys the idea that this is more of a rich, complex online experience than a place to drop by every once in a while for a quick game of "Tringo" with some buddies. If you get freaked out by seeing odd things that you can't explain, this world is not for you. But postmodern surrealists will love Second Life's ever-changing landscape with its stunning scenery and interesting creations. Plus, you can fly!
Also another older site is active worlds. http://www.activeworlds.com/ 3D virtual Worlds chat plugin software and servers. Design worlds, chat with friends, play 3d games.

ProtoSlice Video
From the makers of SLICE HD and PROTOTYPE 2 comes [PROTOSLICE], a puzzle game for iPad. You need to carefully clear away the layers of very sharp Prototype-blades in order to push the P2 button without getting your fingers sliced! If you get sliced, you'll 'bleed' onto the glass and the puzzle will reset. Try to figure out the specific patterns in which the blades move. Some of the puzzles have multiple blades that will require you to use multiple fingers to hold them each in place while moving other blades out of the way to get to the ever elusive P2-button.
