Inside The Mill’s mind-bending alternate reality art showcase

I stepped inside a small, dark room in a large, airy loft space in New York's Soho district early Wednesday morning. Our host fitted me with an HTC Vive and told to explore the world around me. Within moments, I was trapped in a glass box, surrounded...

This Mario Mega Man Mashup Is Marvelous

Two of the best all-time Nintendo games are Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man. So I can think of no better Nintendo hero than one who combines Mario and Mega Man himself.

This fun mashup comes courtesy of CG artist Yago De Amorim, who says the inspiration came from a 2D illustration by artist Jake Parker. Yago created the image using Maya, Zbrush, Vray, and Photoshop, and the end result is one of the greatest video game characters ever. Can you imagine blasting through the Mushroom Kingdom with an buster gun? And Bowser’s flying hammers won’t even leave a mark when you’re wearing that helmet.

Great job, Yago and Jake! I hope Nintendo someday makes a Mario Mega Man game.

Lamborghini Huracán Snowmobile: Snomo Lambo

This winter get yourself a real snowmobile. Something with real power and style. Something like this Lamborghini Huracán snowmobile designed by Rain Prisk Designs.

You’ll wish you had snow year round if you owned a snowmobile like this one. This design is really amazing. Turning a Lamborghini Huracan into a snowmobile is the best idea ever. Why would you ever come in from the cold when you could be out playing in this awesome car/snowmobile. Snow doesn’t stand a chance against it, no matter how deep.

In case you didn’t know, the Lamborghini Huracán is powered by a 610hp 5.2-liter V10, and goes from 0 to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds. Sadly, this version is only a concept design, but maybe if it’s popular enough, somebody will make a real one.
