Ninjabi

Ninjabi is a short platformer game that follows Layla, a Muslim ninja, that seeks to defy and fight off the oppression she experiences in an un-indentified Muslim country. Now, yes, the game did gather quite the reaction from different sectors when it was first released. Controversy aside, the game contains a very fun gameplay and definitely worth enjoying on your spare time. Despite the protagonists' fight for independence, the game does showcase great respect for the Muslim culture. It is filled with imagery and soundscapes that represent the culture.

Four Eyed Monsters

Four Eyed Monsters is one of the latest movies the FrostClick/FrostWire team is co-promoting with VODO and in my opinion - one of the best ones we've had so far. It's not new - it has been released in 2005 - but it's a very current, captivating and beautifully executed narrative feature. The movie tells a real story of a relationship created online and cultivated for months solely via means of artistic expression - drawings, notes, emails and physical contact - no speaking! As the couple gets more and more attached to each other tensions rise, expectations change and insecurities come out. Question remains - will the relationship survive if it becomes to grounded in reality!?! Is it love?

The Feelds: We are no heros

The Feelds is actually a father and daughter duo that love to create music. For this tandem, what matters is their love for music and even though there are off beats here and there, what's important is their passion for their craft. We are no Heros (sic) is a beautiful and relaxing pop rock compilation that brings to mind indie pop sensation, Belle and Sebastian. A calming, melody filled album that's worth listening to.

Tweek Auto Post

No doubt Twitter has become a part of a lot of people's daily lives. In fact, for some, it's hard not to sneak a tweet or two even in the most unconventional/prohibited places like the workplace! If you are looking for a more efficient (and much safer) way of getting your 140 word thoughts out even while you are busy, you can use Tweek Auto Post to post your messages at a scheduled time.

White Owl: Pepper

White Owl is a Russian folk core group that creates some funky folk rock music. Equipped with different tastes in music, ranging from alternative, indie, hardcore, disco and folk, the band's music is a result of this diverse musical fusion. Pepper was released a couple of years back and comes with quirky, upbeat and fun tracks that's sure to get you moving.

Cologne Commons 05: Compilation

Here's another cool compilation from Cologne Commons that you can sink your teeth into. Cologne Commons Compilation 05 is a mix of indie pop, electronic ambient sounds that carefully showcases some of the best netlabel acts Germany has to offer. This awesome festival is a great place where businesses, artists, musicians and netlabels gather to celebrate everything and anything creative commons represents.

FotoMorph

Need a program that works great in helping you morph two faces into one? FotoMorph is a free software that you can use to create fun morphing animation of your favorite portrait pictures. Turn a cute little boy into a roaring lion or maybe turn Justin Bieber into Miley Cyrus. We've seen this technique done in many programs and videos, so now, you can make one for yourself to impress friends, amuse yourself or maybe even for work.

Hydorah

Can't get enough of 2d shoot-em-up games? Hydorah can help you satisfy those cravings, no doubt about it. The look and feel of Hydorah will definitely make you think that you just discovered an old 80s arcade style game but the fact is the game was created by Locomalito several years back and was just released this year. With authentic looking graphics and extra hard gameplay, Hydorah definitely is one bad-ass 2d shoot-em-up game.

The Black Sunn: GodSound

East Baltimore emcee, The Black Sunn, vividly illustrate life's good and bad points. GodSound is the latest offering from this talented emcee. Unlike most hip hop albums, this one resonates with positivity, but it doesn't ignore the reality of life as well. This is the second full length record from the rapper. With its poetic lyrics, dope beats and honest look at life; it's definitely an album worth checking out.
