Short Film: What's in the Box?, a futuristic tribute to Half-Life (probably)
Boing Boing Gadgets — There has been some speculation that this nine-minute video, "What's in the Box?", is some sort of teaser for Half-Life. And that makes a lot of sense: the character audio track is "missing"; it's all shot from a first-person perspective; it's set in an empty European city; the sky is yawning open to puke down fireballs over a giant tower.

If anything, it's just a cool short film that successfully combines gadgets, sci-fi and film making into a nice little package. That it apparently doesn't have any point whatsoever, and ends somewhat ...

Pero vamos a fijarnos en la tecnología que se usa en el vídeo. Desde un reproductor de Acer que se conecta con tu cerebro, un Samsung D600, como es habitual, sin ...
