Rob Spence is a filmmaker who put a video camera in his skull to replace an eye that he lost in a shotgun incident. Rather than connecting the camera to his brain, he decided to use the bionic eye to be a “lifecaster.” The eye would record the feed to an external device. Spence partnered with a company called Square Enix to create a short film called Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Check out the video above [warning: some of the content is graphic]. [Engadget]

Eidos announced that they will accept a $120 million takeover deal from Square Enix to be acquired.  Square Enix is best known for their Final Fantasy series of games.  After the last Lara Croft game did not meet expectations, it was forced to renegotiate bank loans.  Eidos is based in Britan and Square Enix is based in Japan.

Two of Eidos’ major stakeholders Insight Investment Management and Cazenove Capital management agreed to the deal.  Time Warner also owns a 20% stake in Eidos.  Time Warner must accept the deal or make a counter-bid in order for the deal to go through.  The $120 million deal amounts to about 32 pence a share.  This is more than twice what Eidos’ current shares are worth.
