That's a pretty good snow-themed TF2 resource as well (hint hint, cardo, hint) 

And, err, some sci-fi things!

Things!

just found that blog a couple days ago, it's pretty cool. 

I was just watching Le Roi et l'oiseau on youtube and it has some really nice exaggerated castle designs

i forgot how smooth the old animations used to be. that looks like 60fps there. 

just watched that whole movie. Love the illustration style, the colors, the lighting, the composition, etc. Feels very mid-twentieth-century, sort of reminicent of Salvador Dali, the Jetsons, etc. 

does anyone know what the dome like structures are that were designed to alert the mainlands of sea battles (or was it to other way around?) i want to say they are in maybe southern Europe perhaps?

if someone could help me recall and maybe include images that would be great, google is no help when you cant remember the names of things :/ 

I believe you're thinking of a "cloche" ?

i don't think they were turrets of any kind, perhaps i explained it wrong. they are dome shaped and meant for bouncing sound waves (i think i forgot that crucial part in the initial post :S) they're kind of satellite dish looking, but are not satellites like the radio signal space thing in Puerto Rico. there like sideways, err maybe to be described as north or west hemisphere?

those things are interesting though, remind me of that paplon (or whatever, butterfly in french) movie 

Do you mean acoustic mirrors?

The blog itself seems like something for the BIFFmassa but this should be for everyone:

S. Petersen's Field Guide To Cthulhu Monsters, 1988

AWESOME find! 

Unless that guys is the actual author of that book, publishing copyrighted material on blogsites is wrong. Yes the images are amazing and yes I am sure people want to see them but nevertheless they are copyright material. I am sure friends share this kind of stuff on the internet but a blog sites are the wrong place to do it. 

It is out of print. Personally I do not have much sympathy for copyrighted material that is not even available for purchase anymore. If something like this keeps "collectors" from paying/receiving disgusting amounts of money for an original, then I would be glad. 

I pretty much agree - if it were still in print this would not stop me from purchasing a copy for myself. All it really does is allow people to see the material that they otherwise would not have access to because of the lack of availability. It's not as if we stole a book that was readily available to the masses. 

- this would not stop me from purchasing a copy for myself, it would make me more likely to purchase one for myself. The book looks good enough that I would want to own a copy.

For example, here at work we have a copy of The Art of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos - I can have access to it anytime I want, but I still own my own copy because it was such an awesome book. 

Cool photos here...

Specifically, click on Bannerman's Island. I swear there's a Quake level there. 

Nice find!
