Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce Popcorn

It was inevitable, someone mixed dry sriracha sauce with popcorn, put them inside a bag and sold them to the public.

From the back of the bag: "POP! Gourmet Popcorn, in partnership with Huy Fong Foods, the makers of the original Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, created the most amazingly delicious and spicy, gourmet popcorn experience.

Through a unique process, Sriracha's intensely flavorful and wildly loved blend of sun ripened chili pepper and garlic, adds the perfect hot and spicy seasoning to POP's premium golden popcorn. Every kernel is infused with the "most amazing condiment on the planet".

What more can you ask for in a flavor-packed snack? This handcrafted combination contains only the highest quality ingredients and no artificial colors or flavorings". 

That sounds really good, but the reality is not that amazing... 

We love Sriracha but if you were to blindfolded me, I couldn't tell you that chili on the popcorn was Sriracha. The chili to popcorn ratio is good and I enjoyed eating it but I don't see myself getting one of these bags on a regular basis.

35 Years of Screaming in Space

It is hard to believe that it has been 35 years since we followed the crew of the Nostromo down to LV-426 and encounter one of the most iconic creatures of the sci-fi genre giving birth to the Alien universe.

Panelist Gary Mitchel (@gary_mitchel) co-director of the American Sci-Fi Classics Track at Dragon Con and June Phillips prepared a very interesting and interactive panel with plenty of information, anecdotes and research material about the inner workings of this movie and why is still relevant after 35 years.

You can watch the entire panel here.

Redbull's Soapbox Races 2014 (Entries 1 to 10)

We got a excellent location at the Soapbox Races, all the way downhill next to the entrance of the final ramp and we had a clear shot of the Judges place and the big outdoor screen were we could see the start of each race.

The sound was terrible on the first half of the event but then somebody finally turned the speakers on towards the end of the race.

Entry 01 lost control after the first jump and paid a visit to a bale of hay a couple of yards ahead.

Entry 03 (Duck Tape) made all the way downhill swiftly but it could not manage the ramp at the bottom of the hill and it smashed the Plexiglas guard. Unfortunately this will cause the ramp to be close for the next 10 or so participants.

Entry 06 (Legion of Zoom) drove a tricycle with plenty of spring in its suspension but not enough speed.

Entry 08 was in chase of the Yeti and manage to make it safely to the finish line.

Entry 10 (Berth'as Last Stand) did not get stuck in her path and completed an impressive run.

You can watch Entries 1 to 10 here.

Redbull's Soapbox Races 2014 (The Pits)

It has been almost a month since Redbull's Soapbox Races took place at about a mile away from our apartment is here in Seattle. But back-to-back out of state conventions and regular work have been preventing me to finish editing video and uploading pictures to our site.

But I say, no more. I will be posting links to pictures and videos of the race during this week; first in line we have a photo album with pictures of the amazing vehicles that were put to the test on a treacherous downhill track with jumps, turns and a final metal turn at the end of the course.

But I am getting ahead of myself, first the pictures of the pits, enjoy.

Trailer for Mamoru Oshii’s Garm Wars

Director Mamoru Oshii crates another outstanding film combining live action and CG technologies. The film is called "GARM WARS: The Last Druid" and for ¥2000 you can see it in Japan this October 25th.

It does reminds me of his 2001 Avalon movie but the CG technology has clearly been improved.
