After the release of Little Nick a few weeks ago, publisher BulkyPix is almost ready to release indie developer Heydeck Games‘ call center simulator Smooth Operators onto iOS. Plenty of folks know the pain of having to work a real call center and even more know the pain of having to receive calls from them, but in Smooth Operators the tables are turned and players must run a call center to success.
Smooth Operators tasks players with being the one pulling all the strings, from hiring employees, to keeping them motivated. This will be no easy task, but a necessary one as players attempt to grow the business with upgrades and personnel. Adding Projects Managers can mean more technology and a bigger/better office, while new accountants can mean more contracts for the business.
Players wanting to try their hand at running a call center business can download Smooth Operators from the iOS App Store for $3.99 (€3.59) on the iPhone or iPad when it releases on July 3rd, 2013.

Supanova Sydney 2013 this year was the home of Madman‘s National Cosplay Championship! With five teams and four judges, all who attended were in for a real treat. First place went to Anna who cosplayed as Frieza from Dragon Ball Z. Anna entertained the judges with her crowd-pleasing skit entitled “Frieza: The Musical” where she sung parody songs in character. The costume was highly detailed and even had a custom-made Shenlong that was seven meters long.
Second place went to Wirru who cosplayed as Unit 05 of Evangelion 2.22. Wirru is the championship’s former champion, and came very close to taking the title. Third place stole the judges’ hearts with team 20% Cooler as Ranka and Sheryl from Macross Froniter. The couple were celebrating their three year anniversary.
The two were engaged, but felt the stage & crowd was a special enough place to put a ring on finger. Other cosplays included Dante of Devil May Cry 3 with a gigantic moving Cerberus (who had one of his three dog heads chopped off during the skit) as well as a knight from the Japanese tokusatsu TV show GARO. To check out all the pictures we took, check out the gallery below!
At the Supanova Popular Culture Expo convention this weekend, us here at Capsule Computers were fortunate enough to catch a last minute interview with two of everybodies favourite Dwarves (from the film), Adam Brown and Jed Brophy. Both of the actors appeared in the film adaptation of The Hobbit, as was directed by Peter Jackson, and is the prequel to the Lord of the Rings.
Adam Brown plays as the dwarf, Ori in the film adaptation of The Hobbit. While Jed Brophy has played in many roles in the Lord of the Rings franchise, he is probably best known for his character Nori in The Hobbit.
The interview, embedded below, is quite short as the two were strapped for time… so we tried to keep it brief and fun. We are thankful that they could take the time for the interview and we hope that they’d enjoyed their time in Sydney.
The latest Monster Hunter addition seems like a logical choice for the franchise in that it is going to be a fully fledged online role playing game, or MMORPG. Monster Hunter Online is being developed by a Chinese developer called Tencent games and is being released by Capcom.
Monster Hunter Online is running on the gorgeous CryEngine3, which has been the engine of choice for developers producing highly detailed games. The engine has been previously used in the game Crysis 3, and the upcoming The Witcher title will be running the same technology.
Be sure to check out the trailer below for a look at the game. Check out the official site for more info.
At Supanova Sydney 2013 we were able to snag an interview with Queenie Chan, an Australian Manga Artist and author of popular manga series The Dreaming. We discussed her past and future works as well as her thoughts on the industry as a whole. Read on for the full interview with Queenie Chan.
CC: Thank you for sitting down with us today! Can you tell us how you got into making manga?
Queenie Chan: Sure! Well I was eighteen when I got into an Informations Systems Degree at the University of New South Wales and I didn’t really enjoy it. What I really wanted to do was become a manga artist, but back then it was just a pipe dream because nobody else I knew was making comics or even what sold in Australia. So I thought well I’ll just do this in my spare time as a hobby – an escape from my degree.
By the time I graduated it was a really bad market for IT people like me, so that was when I found about a company in L.A. called Tokyopop. At the time they were looking for international artists to submit their stuff. Back then I spent about four years of my time refining my work and doing it as a hobby and I thought this could be a good chance to see if I could make it as a manga artist. That is where I first got my foot in the door.
CC: So where did your inspiration to become a manga artist come from?
QC: It all started when I was reading a copy of Rurouni Kenshin when I was seventeen. I was really a huge fan of that series all through my teenage years. I’m not as much anymore though. I guess you like some things as a teen and you look back when your older and think well that was nice and all but.. [laughs] But yeah, honestly that series is what made me want to draw and write my own stories. First it was kind of awkward trying to adjust to things because I hadn’t really drawn things like this before except for in things like school projects. But that was when it clicked, it was then that I sat down and gave this thing a real proper go and that was it.
CC: The Dreaming was your first manga. How did you come up with the concept of The Dreaming and how did you go about getting it published?
QC: To be honest, I was pitching at Tokyopop for quite a while. I had so many stories, like a romantic comedy and an action adventure, but there was just nothing that they really wanted. So in the end they suggested that I do a haunted school story, it was like a spec pitch. They gave me a topic and told me to come up with the best story I could based around that topic. It was a very unusual way of doing things, but through that I pitched The Dreaming. They liked it and that was how I got my first published series.
Back then it was a really tense and difficult time for me because there was nothing I did that they seemed to like. That feeling was really terrible but in the end when they said to try a haunted school story, I decided that maybe I should show some Australian culture off and they really liked it. So that was how The Dreaming got done.
CC: Did you feel that there was difficulty become a manga artist through Tokyopop because you were from Australia?
QC: I think it did play a role. Mostly because it is so hard to get people to talk to you sometimes when your in Australia. So yeah, that was a slight disadvantage for me, because well people can’t just pick up the phone and talk to you and Americans can be kind of insular when it comes to what they like to read. For example a lot of my readers just thought I was American until I corrected them. The sad truth is though industry-wise, people really prefer you to be over there and working in the American comics industry. Don’t get me wrong though, I’m not saying it was a huge disadvantage, but perhaps I had missed opportunities, but I really won’t ever know. But I like to think that I have done pretty well for myself regardless.
CC: So recently Tokyopop kinda went under…
QC: Not just recent! [laughs]
CC: Yeah it has been a while now hasn’t it? [laughs] Has that affected you in any way?
QC: Luckily for me I finished my book series with them before they went under. I got the collected version of The Dreaming out and that sold quite well – the was fine – then they went under. [laughs] I was actually one of the luckier ones who made my escape before they really took a rollercoaster down hill. I’m honestly glad that it didn’t affect me like it did to other people. It is really terrible what happened. I think that comic book companies imploding – at least with the Americans – isn’t all that uncommon these days. You see it all the time, it is a very volatile market, not a huge market either. It really all happens in cycles, things just come in cycles.
CC: Okay, could you tell us a little about your work with Dean Koontz?
QC: Yeah sure. That is what got me away from Tokyopop actually. When I finished The Dreaming I started working with the company Del Rey who were doing graphic novel versions of Dean Koontz best-selling series and I guess I was managed to be chosen, I don’t know why, I think he probably looked at The Dreaming. Then he asked me to do that and I did three separate books which are all prequels to the Odd Thomas series and they have been very popular, fans really love Odd Thomas.
CC: Del Rey actually merged with Kodansha Comics, has that affected the Dean Koontz books at all?
QC: Yeah it has. I think it’s to do with Random House the company that owns Kodansha. I think that the publishing industry is really shrinking over the past five years and this merger thing has probably been going on in the background all along. Not just for Del Rey but for a lot of book imprints that are publishing. It’s not just a matter of Del Rey, but all manga publishers are shrinking in certain ways. But are my books affected, yes they are if you think about it in the long-run it does have some effect. I remember though back when I was working with Dean Koontz on them there were no problems at all. It was only after I went onto my next book that it all went, well you know… Since I no longer work with them I can’t talk about what they’re like now because I no longer know.
CC: Okay, so what are you working on at the moment?
QC: I just finished a book with an author called Kylie Chan, she is very popular here in Australia. She has this chinese fantasy book series called White Tiger, it is like an action fantasy adventure. It really has got a little bit of everything in it. She has got seven books out right now and she is onto the eighth. She has also got this one called Small Shen. [pulls out the book and shows it to us] It is really cool and tells you all about what happened with the characters before the story.
I actually made a graphic novel version of the book with her which is a mix of prose and comics so that was really interesting. Her book was just too long to adapt into a graphic novel so we thought to adapt parts of it into comic and left the rest as prose. You know it was a big hit actually, it sold really well. I never realised that people would be so interested in like a hybrid like this. That led to what I’m doing now, I just put a pitch to my agent for a hybrid book, its got its pros and cons, but its interesting.
CC: What else would you say is lying ahead for you in the future after this?
QC: Well depends on whether my new book series gets picked up, of course I hope it does. But you know, we shall see! My agent is on holiday right now so… [laughs] You know how these things are!
CC: So I see you’ve got a book here called Legend of Zelda: The Edge and The Light. [pointing to book on table] You gotta tell me about this one!
QC: [laughs] Yeah of course! It is a fan-fiction that I have been drawing on the internet. After I finished Kylie’s book, I thought maybe people are interested in more of this sort of thing, but I don’t know, I’ve got to test the market still. Her readers are mostly prose readers and they are fine with this – they love it. But the question is will comic book readers accept this type of thing.
So what I did was, I decided to do a fan-fiction to find out, I based it on the Legend of Zelda series because it is well-known and well I like it, people love it. I thought that it would be a good way to get an online audience. I started putting it online at various places and thankfully a lot of comic book readers are responding to it very well, they love it. So now I know that my comic book readers aren’t gonna complain and wonder what is up with all the prose in here.
CC: What is your Legend of Zelda fan-fiction all about? How different is it from the series itself?
QC: Well I went out and tried to combine a number of different story elements from all the different Zelda games. There is far less of an exploration element and more of a character element. Link especially is very hard to do, as you’d know about the Zelda series, Link is a silent protagonist. Giving him a good personality was my biggest priority with writing this fan-fiction. It was really a lot of fun doing my own interpretation of the Zelda characters and seeing how things go from there. The fans like my interpretations so that’s great, that’s the most important thing.
CC: Would you say it was a challenge portraying Link as a silent protagonist like in the games?
QC: Not as big as I thought it would be. The biggest challenge for me was getting the comics and prose hybrid thing to work right. I started working on this right after I started working on this right after I started the pitch for my book series and I hadn’t done much of this on my own so I thought it was best to start working on a single story first to see how things go. But that was that and well it has been quite a fun experience, not quite as hard as I thought it would be. Oh one moment… [fan approaches and purchases a copy of Legend of Zelda: The Edge and The Light]
CC: You just made a sale! People are liking it, it is like we are doing a sales pitch for it right now. [laughs]
QC: [laughs] Yeah just us talking about it. But nah I’m not going to go and pitch this series. The real pitch is for my other original stories I’m working on!
CC: Can you give us a hint on what sort of stories you are working on?
QC: I don’t know. I guess I’ve got some sort of superstition about this sort of thing. [laughs] I probably shouldn’t say, I’ll have to talk to my agent about it. But who knows really, I have confidence in what I’m doing with this pitch, but if the first person to read this says it sucks well then you know… But I’ll say it is completely different to things like the Zelda fan-fiction, I don’t think it is right to repackage fan-fiction and try to sell it as if it were something original. To me it crosses the line of ethics, which I’m not willing to do, but that is a completely different story.
CC: Okay, if you could tell any kind of story in your manga – free of publisher’s approval or anything like that – what kind of story would you like to tell?
QC: It is probably the story that I’m pitching right now. [laughs]
CC: But you can’t say anything about it! [laughs]
QC: Unfortunately no I can’t say anything!
CC: So the one you are working on now is the story you’ve always wanted to tell?
QC: Well at different times there was stories that I thought I always wanted to tell, like when I was a teen. But as you get older you look at what you thought was cool as a teen and you think that maybe you don’t want to do that story ever. [laughs] You realise it was cool back then but now you can do better. I think it is better if you start all over again because it is a reflection of you as a person and how you have grown. You know you get more mature and you like different things.
CC: One last question. If you had any advice for someone who wanted to become a manga artist like you, what would it be?
QC: Perserverence. As I said earlier it is not uncommon for comics companies to go bust in this industry and that can be really disparaging when the market contracts like it is now. It sucks when the avenues in which you could have gotten published are now gone. I don’t really know what to tell people when they ask me this, but all I can say is that if you keep drawing then opportunities will always come along. It is a matter of whether you’re prepared when they come along. If you are prepared then seize it. Unfortunately if you are not prepared it doesn’t make a difference if you try to seize it because you won’t have the skills to do so. My advice is to work at it. Keep going until you get it.
CC: Great advice! Thank you so much for your time. It has been great talking to you.
QC: It has been great talking to you too, thank you.

At a special preview event at The Ice Tank in London, England, Capcom not only unveiled the multiplayer component of the upcoming Lost Planet 3, but put it in the hands of attendees.
The video embedded at the bottom of this article is your first look at the game’s multiplayer modes. In the clip, Producer Andrew Szymanski, whom we previously interviewed, describes the new progression system – just one aspect that makes Lost Planet 3‘s multiplayer different from its predecessors. There’s considerable focus on the conflict between the snow pirates and NEVEC – which fans of the series will be familiar with – and how the inclusion of multiplayer allows gamers to embody both sides of the conflict.
Though not clarified in the video, the gameplay footage shown looks to be from the Akrid Survival and Scenario Mode game types (detailed here) as well as from possibly a new mode including a version of King of the Hill. We got our hands on the single player portion a while back and were pleasantly surprised and impressed by the tone and feel of the game in general. The Alien-esque music at the start of the below video echoes our comparisons of the game to the film in those hands-on impressions, at least in atmosphere. Lost Planet 3 comes out Down Under on August 29.
THE Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, graced the Supanova Pop Culture Expo 2013 FilmInk theatre with her presence, and we all hung on her every word.
The geek icon made a grand entrance, accompanied by the 501st, Rebel Legion, Mandalorian Mercs and remote controlled R2-D2s (noises, flashing lights and all). Unfortunately, we couldn’t snap any pictures for you fine readers, because we were informed before her arrival that our special guest had requested no photos be taken during the panel…started off the session on a sour note, but once she made her way onto the stage, she captivated everyone with her innate charm and edgy, sometimes self-deprecating sense of humour. The following are some highlights (partially paraphrased) from the Q&A.
Carrie’s favourite scene to shoot from Star Wars was the first topic. She named one of the more memorable moments;
I really enjoyed killing Jabba the Hutt. And I recommend that any time you have the opportunity to kill a giant slug…I’m begging you to do it! You jut need a really heavy chain, and really you can saw their neck off! Anyway, I’m here to say, that has really made my life better. […] Learn that, it’s the main thing I can teach you.
She says she may even use that for the title of her next autobiography – which she is currently writing – “‘Kill Giant Sea Slugs When You Can…And Let That Make You Happy’ No, it’s too long.” Carrie also played extremely coy regarding Disney‘s future Star Wars entries, calling them “just a rumour”. Her wit was displayed all throughout the Q&A;
Audience Member:As the main female character in a male dominated cast that influenced an entire generation, did you feel any pressure –
Carrie: – to go through the whole cast like wildfire? Oh, not at all! [Laughter]
Audience Member:No, to either at the time or later to be a role member for young women?
Carrie:Not consciously, but I think subconsciously that was my destiny. I’m a really bad role model though for some things, so don’t follow me for everything. But wear those clothes if you have a good body! And really give men as much shit as you possibly can. [Applause] They deserve it; they’ve earned it over time. It’s ours to give.
Carrie then explained her initial thoughts on the character and story when first reading the script;
I read the story out loud with a friend of mine, Miguel Ferrer – who became an actor – and we both wanted to play the part of Han Solo ’cause that was the best part. But it read fantastic. […] I mean I couldn’t imagine how they were going to pull it off so I definitely wanted to be in it given that they had a chance at pulling it off. So when I got the part, they told me I had to lose 15 pounds – I’ve since gained it back – so I thought I better lose that or they’ll fire me. So I kept thinking that they would realise they’d made a mistake, so I kept very quiet – which if you know me is unbelievable – and so when they put that awful hairstyle on me, that I’ve grown to love, they asked ” what do you think of this?” and I said “it’s fantastic”. So that’s why that exists. So I did whatever they said.
Not from the night, but she was wearing all black! She went to the dark side!
Now that Disney owns the Star Wars license, how does Carrie feel about her animated company?;
Well, I hope there’s like a support group for the princesses. You know, “I’m Carrie and I’m a damsel not in distress” and stuff like that. […] So my peers are now Minnie Mouse and Sleeping Beauty, and I think that’s appropriate, and if you knew me you’d understand and you’d think it was right too.
The next question is one that many actors have had to answer in the past – how awkward is screen-kissing, really?
Well Harrison has said that he doesn’t like screen-kissing. It is weird; it’s kissing for money, and there’s something a little more extreme for that and there’s a word for it. I really enjoy watching other people screen kiss; Notorious – the movie with Cary Grant and Ingred Bergman – has the best screen kiss going ’cause they used to have a limit on how long you could hold the kiss which was 18 seconds or something, so they kept breaking it and talking and then kissing again. It’s fantastic. […] It’s certainly far from hot, I don’t think I can get more clear than that. And you’re very caught up in memorising your lines so you’re not apt to sort of go “ooh, wow…” or “ugh!”. You can’t, because you have your mind on this whole other thing. So the kissing is more than secondary.
Some in attendance saw fit to waste a question asking something that had already been asked. In this case, it was a child making the enquiry, so I’ll let it slide (I am the authority on these things after all). And so, Carrie was again asked what her favourite scene to shoot was, but across her whole career;
Well, like I said, I really liked killing Jabba. I liked shooting at John Belushi over and over and over again. And retrospectively, at the time I didn’t like it but, I do like seeing myself in the metal bikini because I did look good then, and I didn’t know it. So now I can look back and say “man, I should’ve paid attention”.
Back in 1978, punters predicted that Star Wars would be a flop. It was an entirely new and foreign concept, and people are scared of “new”. So the question was posed – were the actors and studio aware of this, and if so, did it have an effect on them?
Nobody knew. I mean I remember seeing it and thinking “wow, I’ve never seen anything like that”, but I was watching it two ways; I was thinking what a fat face that girl has and “what a cool movie!”. If they’d known it was gonna be a big hit they wouldn’t necessarily have booked us on a press tour of America – it didn’t need it. So they booked it like we were gonna have to slag this unpopular horse, and it was a very popular horse. So we just went around America and we were treated like rockstars!
Darth Vader was an over-bearing Father in other ways…
As a side note at this point, apparently when Carrie gets serious she becomes British. She also joked that she wears the famous metal bikini while cleaning her dishes and vacuuming around the house. Focus then shifted to her interactions with Kevin Smith and if she had any stories from working on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back;
No, not really. No, the only thing that I remember was that I almost got into a fight with Kevin. Because he believed – and this was when the internet was practically stone-age – someone that had told him that I said “Eh!” about the movie, and so he wrote me this frightening email. And he wrote me something not really nice about how they didn’t want to laugh at my tired jokes on set. And then he said he was sorry. Mainly I talked to Silent Bob about his heroin addiction and we had a lot of story swapping to do.
Wonder what her favourite scene or line from Star Wars was? Sound like a familiar question? Again…she really liked killing Jabba! Stop asking about it!;
“Put that thing away or you’re going to get us all killed!” […] I say that to naked men all the time. My favourite part of it? I keep telling you I liked killing that animal but you won’t believe mee! […] I like yelling things at people.
Harrison Ford is a tad bit notorious for being a grumpy guss on set. So what did Carrie have to say on the matter, from her own personal experiences shooting with him?;
Okay, well you know everybody in the early morning on set is not gonna be someone you want to talk to. But Harrison can be a lot of fun on set, but we were all kind of concentrating a lot. But Harrison can be a very serious guy, depending on how many beers he’s had. I got to be the only girl in an all boy fantasy, so that was fun and I was 19 years old – Harrison was 33 so he wasn’t skipping around and stuff.
This may seem like a no-brainer, as Carrie addresses her favourite piece of memorabilia from Star Wars;
Well, people keep asking me if I have the metal bikini, like I was wearing it that day and said “can I wear this home? Because I’m feeling really good in it.” That was actually made out of plastic or something so it was really uncomfortable.
This next answer was absolutely hilarious and shows just how witty and quick-on-her-feet Carrie is. She ad-libbed her ideal plot and storyline for the next Star Wars trilogy to be directed by J.J. Abrams. This is the tale she hopes is told;
That Harrison and I have been unhappily married for many, many years and that we speak through the wookies. We won’t talk to each other, you know, while we get some kind of translator or something. You know, like “R2, go tell that son of a bitch that I don’t…” And that we have children, but one of them looks a lot like Chewbacca. And they’re trying to get us to go to marital therapy with Yoda, as he’s opened a practice now on a planet somewhere, and that we do a lot of girl things this time. The men come with me and get waxed – I want Chewie to get waxed for sure. And that we do a lot of shopping, ’cause there could be some really cool things to buy now on Alderon – Alderon means mall in Tattooine. Roughly that’s the idea. And that I start sleeping with robots. Or I yell at him when I think he’s looking at one of the robot’s screws.
No, guys, you don’t get it. She REEAALLLLY enjoyed killing Jabba the Hutt!
Another common question for celebrities of any kind – what was her reaction to seeing an action figure of her likeness for the very first time?;
I probably wanted to put it in a stew. Because it looks like an ingredient, doesn’t it? When something is ingredient sized, and it’s you, that’s confusing. I think I did go into therapy – I was already in therapy, but I had more to talk about! I wish that being merchandised was aerobic, but it’s not.
I’ve already mentioned the 501st, Rebel Legion and the rest of her entourage, but up until now they were simply mannequins, stood by the sides of the stage while Carrie regaled us with stories. But for this next question, the presence of one member of the lot in particular – Darth Vader (not, not really him…he’s dead, right?!), really enhanced the answer. What was it like finding out that Darth Vader was her father?;
Isn’t that a bitch?! I mean, I’ve never really done well in that department. I mean I love my father…but none of the fathers I’ve had have actually been dads, you know? I mean, look at Darth; he doesn’t look like someone that would come to school on Father’s Day or help you with your homework. But it would be interesting if he did. Or walk me down the aisle and give me away.
Before Star Wars was released, there had definitely been some great science-fiction movies, but it really blew up with George Lucas’ space opera. A younger member of the audience was wondering if Carrie ever had an interest in the genre, and if she does now;
I liked 2001 and pretended I knew what it was about. I saw it when I was like 13 and someone asked me what it was about and I think I said, “infinity”. […] I really like 3D. Anything that people – not me – who take hallucinogens, which your Mum will explain later, would like to watch, I would like to watch also.
And finally, comedy fans out there will appreciate this question – what was it like shooting that episode of 30 Rock with Alec Baldwin and the rest of that amazing cast?;
My favourite thing was that they did let me be the technical consultant on how many prescription bottles should be on the set of an addict. So I had to cut it down; they had too many pills and it didn’t look realistic. A real addict would hide them.
To end on a feel-good moment, when asked what her greatest achievement in her life has been, Carrie said her daughter. Awww. “She’s a grade-A student, and she’s at NYU and she’s pretty and she likes me now!”. Oh and we came away from the session breathing a sigh of relief…if you’ve ever been concerned that Carrie may lose it one day and go on a rampage down your street in a tank, she says she’s “not good of a driver, so that would be tricky.” I can sleep easy now.
Supanova Sydney 2013 has now concluded and with all the dust settled, what better way to look back on this amazing event then to take a gander at some of the phenomenal cosplayers that attended? The quality of cosplay on show was simply out of this world, the details put into the costumes and the passion shown was a real treat to witness.
Cosplayers showed their love for all manner of pop-culture, both new and old. It was common to see one of the 11 Doctors from Doctor Who as you walked through the show hall, there was even some excellent anime cosplayers tackling series like One Piece and Attack on Titan. Be it TV, Film, Anime or Video-Games, these cosplayers had it covered.
Madman Entertainment even held a cosplay competition at the event which featured a slew of characters from all forms of media, some of the highlights were a group of One Piece cosplayers and a stunning Dante from Devil May Cry.
We took a massive amount of photos for you guys to dig into which you can of course check out in the gallery below. Be sure to let us know what you think of all of these awesome cosplayers from Supanova Sydney 2013, heck if you were cosplaying we may just have snapped a shot of you, so take a look below.
