As historical footage / CGI mashups go, this one takes the cake! Using World War I archival footage, CGI, and probably some reenactment footage as well, this video shows what a real Martian War would have looked like in 1914. The footage is from a History Channel mockumentary called “The...
Awesome news from Matthew Inman, creator of the Oatmeal webcomic — tech billionaire Tony Stark Elon Musk has just promised to donate $1 million dollars to the Tesla Museum at Wardenclyff! ABC News also has some information about Elon Musk’s donation as well. Hurrah! Oh, and don’t forget to checkout the Oatmeal’s...

Check out this short independent steampunk film, Airlords of Airia. Although the dialog is weak, and the English dubbing not so good, overall it’s a neat little 12 minute piece. It’s also just part one, apparently, and I guess they’ll be looking for more crowdfunding over at their site.
Say it isn’t so! According to (parody) news site The Daily Mash, (pretend) steampunk weapons are not as effective in a fight as fists. The tale of the (fictional) altercation is quite humorous, and just goes to show that if you do enter a pub in town of Whitby dressed...
Check out the latest music video from Abney Park, Steampunk Revolution, with clips from more than a few steampunk enthusiasts from around the world. Pretty cool! It looks like the video is mainly there to advertise their latest CD, but who can blame them for some smart self-promotion?
