In Memory of Mitch Thorne 1950-1995 [With Footage]
After we wrote about his role in the short-lived Give Me Head special FX department, we received an anonymous email from somebody who claimed to have been close to Mitch Thorne before he sadly passed. While we can’t identify this person, the information they provided to us checks out, and so we are very grateful…

Cyberian Retro Futuristic Tech and Gadgets #3 Cybervenom
In such a tech-rich genre as cyberpunk, where everyone is permanently staring at digital monitor screens and committing petty crimes, the Give Me Head team needed to get it right otherwise the whole project would sink. They all agreed that tech implants, personal computers (otherwise known as Ubercomputers in this universe), hackers and mercenary warbots…

Cyberian Retro Futuristic Tech and Gadgets #2 The Ubercomputer [With Footage]
Another invention that the tech and gadgets team worked on was the Ubercomputer. Back in the summer of ’88, big things were happening in the computing world. The legendary Amiga 500 was ruining the social lives of adults and their children; Windows 2.0 had been released the year before, indicating just how much computers were…

Cyberian Retro Futuristic Tech and Gadgets #1 The Skanna [With Footage]
A classic example of the Give Me Head employment strategy would begin with suddenly realising that such a monumental television series required specialist knowledge (for example futuristic technology design). CEO Cassidy would tell everyone to assign a “top team of titties” to it. Regardless of talent, specialist area (if applicable) or ability, the people who…

Neon Nights in Cyberia: The Video Game That Nearly Caused a Mass Shooting
By mid-July the team was still on a high–both metaphorically and literally. CEO Lawrence Cassidy had spent a little over half of his inheritance in two and a half months (with approximately half of that spent on Rayful Edmond’s cocaine). Cassidy wasn’t really counting because he was incapable of it. For him, reality had turned…

Cyberia Megacorp #4 SKARS Corp and Introducing “Tin Man” O’shea [With Footage]
Out of all the megacorps in Cyberia, SKARS features the most. This is because several of the playable characters find themselves creating an alliance to bring down this totalitarian titan once and for all. Scotch Mike, who deeply regrets the SKARS sponsored surgical procedure he had in his impressionable years, understands what’s really going on…

Cyberia District #1 Megacorp Valley [With Footage]
Megacorp Valley is by far the busiest district in the Cyberia Universe. The majority of characters survive and die here, fighting over candy like two fat toddlers with sugar withdrawals. Some characters only visit occasionally, hoping to take down the corrupt CEOs of the megacorps and finally put an end to a corrupt system which…

Cyberia Location #1 The Screamer Arena! [With Footage]
There are several locations which were going to appear over and over throughout the Cyberia Universe. One of the first which the team came up with was the Screamer Arena. After a fist fight among staff, it was eventually located in Megacorp Valley rather than the Pleasure Strip (which according to Alberto was “hogging all…

Cyberia Megacorp #2 Chipmunk
Duncan “Dildo Master” Marshall had just finished a gruelling internship at a New York advertising agency. He was waiting for an appointment at a careers office, browsing the classifieds of a Visit the Golden State tourism pamphlet when something caught his eye: Calling all marketing mavericks! Our fresh new team is looking for somebody capable…

Cyberia Megacorp #1 Viv Bastard
As we continue to explore the Cyberia Universe, we will look at some of the ideas pitched by employees at Give Me Head Productions HQ. They understood that such a project required coherent, multilayered immersion. To their credit, they were on track for achieving at least this much (if they had a thousand years to…
