Savlonic are the virtual electronica band dreamt up by Mr Weebl- and while the band may be virtual, the music they produce is legit. Broken is the first track from their new crowd-funded album Neon, and features an ace video from Kreid and Weebl himself. The album is available now.

As part of the franchise's 20th-anniversary celebrations a series of new 3-5 minute shorts will be released showing iconic moments from Pokemon's various past iterations.

Kubo and The Low Strings is a pixel-art promotion made for LAIKA's wonderful Kubo and The Two Strings by tea&cheese. Recreating the characters of the movie in 8-bit style was an inspired idea, and this works brilliantly. Sadly, it was never actually used, but at least we get to see it now.
