I am a Big fan of hoodies and I can’t wait for the Witness Hoody which features a full length zipper opening.

In their product display, Arc’teryx paired the Witness with the Aristo Pant. As you can see it features an uber-articulated knee. Below is a little better look at the knee detail. It is somewhat reminiscent of the articulation found on the Drac/Sphinx/Talos minus the webbing reinforcement.

David Sears Joins SOF Studios

Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

So you’re probably asking yourself, “Who is David Sears and how is he important to SOF Studios?” Unless you are into first person shooter (FPS) video games, you might not have heard of him. Yes, I thought FPS meant feet per second too. Just shows my age. At any rate, David Sears has 22-year in the games industry and is a renowned AAA Creative Director. AAA titles are backed by major studios with big budgets such as “SOCOM: US Navy SEALs”.

He has worked on titles in a variety of genres for publishers/developers including Ubisoft, Sony Computer Entertainment of America, Virgin Games, Zipper Interactive, Foundation 9 Entertainment, Kronos Digital Entertainment, Looking Glass Studios, and Pseudo Interactive.

Most recently he served as Creative Director for Ubisoft’s unreleased shooter title, “Rainbow 6: Patriots”, but resigned from Ubisoft Montreal last month and joined the SOF Studios team in Southern Pines, NC.

We look forward to learning more about what this means for SOF Studios who have just released photos of their development work.

We’re big fans of the home brewed Tactical NAV app and its creator Jonathon Springer so we’re quite pleased to bring you some news. If anyone has ever earned the title TacHacker, it’s this guy.

First off, the makers of Tactical NAV recently released “Compass NAV” for Android a couple of weeks ago. Basically it’s just the compass function of TACNAV and it’s priced at .99 cents.

Tactical NAV is also in the midst of an update that will include –

– Troop tracking (all users on all systems — iPhone, iPad, Android will be able to see each other on the battlefield along with MMS/SMS messaging capabilities between each other, etc)
– A realtime “FreeDraw” – a sandtable-like capability that will act very similar to BFT and CPOF
– iCloud integration
– Facebook integration
– Ability to record video with geolocation-data updated in realtime for playback later
