Crytek to Open Local Gaming Studio

After an unpleasant week for the local gaming industry (e.g., Vigil's closure), this week is looking up with the announcement that Crytek opened its first American office today here in Austin.

Sundance ’13: Day Four

There are many categories that films may appear in at Sundance in addition to the dramatic and documentary film competitions. One of the most interesting this year is the sidebar called NEXT, where the selected films seem to have an edgier and less conventional bent.

'Justified' Recap: 'Truth and Consequences'

This week, Boyd’s crew is not only snake-bit but mutinous, the marshals all have stiffies, the “widow” Thompson is a certified spiritualist, the FBI agent is crooked, and snake handling just got a lot more dangerous for Rev. Billy.
