    L. A. Noire (video game)

    Here's a brand spankin' new video of the gameplay, released today by Rockstar called "Orientation". I think this is the best video so far. it reveals much more of the scenery of 1940s L.A. not seen in previous clips. I love the streets, the buildings, the Pacific Electric rail yards, aww heck...

    L. A. Noire (video game)

    I have played Mafia 2 and liked it a lot, anything set in a vintage era is usually good in my books. One thing I have enjoyed more with Rockstar is that now they usually create games that go beyond the regular story mode with large free roam maps that you can have a multiplayer experience -...

    Brunswick panatrope

    No, it would be a big waste to discard a fibre needle after every play, you can keep cutting it down to a new point until it is too small to use. I don't know about the cactus ones, haven't used them yet.

    Air racing in the golden era

    There's a special place in my heart for those Gee Bees too, the Z especially. The Granville Brothers' Model Z and R took the art of streamlining as far as it could go with the motors available, but it made the planes very tricky to fly - those little buggers stalled at 100mph! Bayles was a...

    Air racing in the golden era

    The Gee Bee Very surprised the (in)famous Gee Bee hasn't been mentioned yet! Their planes were nicknamed "The Widowmaker". etc., etc., and they had several setbacks, but had a great award winning career. I became fascinated with the Granville Brothers racers and the golden age of air racing...

    L. A. Noire (video game)

    Seems like it's going to be released for the consoles first, which is what is traditionally done. Computer versions of these games usually come out much later, sometimes not at all. A new video has been recently posted on the motion capture technology that Team Bondi used to make the realistic...

    A very RARE Victor!

    Did you manage to get any photos of the RCA Victor V-300, Forgotten Man? I've been imagining how it looks, unsuccessful so far. ;)

    Christmas Window Displays

    Here's a frame from the movie to illustrate: Here in Toronto we had Eaton's and Simpson's, both their Christmas window displays at the corner of Yonge St. & Queen St. were quite famous for years. People used to make the trip downtown from far away places just to see those decorated windows...

    L. A. Noire (video game)

    I thought the lead character looked a little too familiar and did some investigating, turns out that Aaron Stanton who plays Ken Cosgrove on AMC's "Mad Men" series was digitized for the game. Article here

    L. A. Noire (video game)

    I've thoroughly enjoyed playing video games by Rockstar Games, this one seems like another hit. On top of that, it takes place in the Golden Era, which I love to immerse myself in daily. To be released in Spring of 2011, but I want to play it now. :eusa_doh: Official L.A. Noire game website...

    A very RARE Victor!

    Hmmm, The first thing I thought of when you mentioned the bar inside is the "Radiobar" company of America. I'm sure there were other companies that did the same business. Radiobar built custom cabinets that typically had Philco radios inside. I've seen a Radiobar or two even make an...

    The return of 78's??? How cool is this!!!

    Nice idea, but I'm gonna pass on this one. Great idea, but $29 for two vinyls? Sorry, not biting. I'd rather pay that for a real vintage record pressing of Bix. Looks like they got their label design idea from old Brunswick record labels, cool. I wonder how much this record would cost if it...

    Cincinnati subway

    Thanks for posting about this, I love discovering the hidden past of cities. Never had a clue that Cincinnati began building a subway. Many years ago I was amazed to discover that Toronto (where I live) has a large completed section of subway tracks with station that was never opened for...

    Retro Graphic Novels

    Superman: War Of The Worlds I used to read comics and graphic novels, but not really at all now. Also loved Batman Gotham by Gaslight, Rocketeer and many other retro themed comics which I will have to dig out to remember the titles. *Thoroughly enjoyed DC's "Elseworlds" take on "Superman: War...

    Torontonians?

    Thanks a bunch Mugwump, so cool to see another person from Scarborough here. Just in case I change it in the future, right now my avatar is Ralphie, a kid in one of my favourite movies, "A Christmas Story". As you are also a Scarberian, it may interest you that a large part of that movie was...

    Pencils

    Eagle brand pencils I've found various vintage pencils through the years at garage sales, but haven't photographed them all yet. Here are some of the Eagle Pencil Company brand pencils I happily picked up a few years ago. I love the streamlined graphic design on the boxes, it was created by...
