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 and Skrappa
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
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 during his young and impressionable years, understands what’s really…

Slangder #3: What is the Anal-World?
The Anal-World is what Cyberians call our world; a peaceful utopia before computer technology had completely destroyed everyone’s life. As the Give Me Head team was creating this universe in 1988, they had no idea what the 2020s and beyond would actually look like. If you’re still wondering: anal is short for analogue. Of course, we…

Cyberia Megacorp #3 Candy Coins
Probably the most prophetic of all the megacorps, Candy Coins was going to be the main currency for Cyberia’s criminal underworld which basically means that everyone was going to be using it including those brutish Cyberpigs. Myra Lippit was already working in the Silicon area when she applied for the role of “project leader who…

Cyberia District #2 The Russian Quarter
The Russian Quarter is a seedy district out in the eastern suburbs of the Cyberia Universe. Several of the playable characters etch out their existence here. The two main etchers are Boriz and his boss Count Maxim. Boriz is a low level pimp who dreams of bigger things, but he doesn’t have a clue how…

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