Created as part of WIRED’s Game Over(analyzed) series, this is a video of military historian Mike Loades (great name for a military historian) providing an in-depth analysis of the realism of medieval weaponry and armor used in games like Dark Souls, Mordhau, The Witcher 3, For Honor, and Kingdom Come:

This is some breathtaking footage from various locales around the world as filmed in the 1890’s and recently restored and colorized via artificial intelligence. It really is something to see.

This is Canadian musician Leah Barley’s ‘Mountains’, a song she wrote and produced and used her grandparents’ 78-year old honeymoon video as the music video for. The video features digitized Super 8mm footage of her grandparents Alan and Marion on their honeymoon from Toronto to Tofino (on Vancouver Island, off
