The Starhawk Bag


Comic-Con 2011 just came and went in San Diego, and IRT played their part by producing the collectible Starhawk bag given out at G4's booth.

For those not in the gamer know, Starhawk is a new shooter adventure game for the Sony PS3, in which you can build and change your battlefield during the heat of combat with a feature called "Build and Battle". The game is set-up like a sci-fi western (no, not like Cowboys & Aliens), where miners, called rifters, hunt for Rift Energy instead of gold. Exposure to Rift Energy mutates rifters into enraged outcast monsters that are hell-bent on protecting the Rift Energy from the rifters. Main-character Emmett Graves, who is only partially mutated and an outcast because of it, sets out to protect the frontier colonies from the mutant war bands. To learn more and to watch the beautiful trailer, click here. Starhawk is set to release in 2012.

Game on.

Rainbow City!

To the New Yorkers out there, this news is probably old hat, but NYC's High Line park recently opened up a new section that elongates the aerial green-way to West 30th Street (between 10th & 11th Avenues). To those not in the know, The High Line is a former elevated freight railway turned urban park that runs along the lower west side of Manhattan.

In celebration of the High Line's addition, AOL teamed up with creative think tank Friends With You to create a funky art installment at West 30th Street called Rainbow City. The installment features interactive, air-filled sculptures in surreal, toy-like shapes that stretch up to 40 feet in height.

Sadly, Rainbow City is closed as of today, but In Record Time had a lot of fun over the past month teaming up with AOL to produce Rainbow City gear, including rainbow tees, wristbands and popcorn boxes for various events in the space. The installment will be moving to a TBD location, so to get your city in on the action, vote for it's next location here.
