ID: Resurgence website lets you blow up your neighbourhood virtually

Well, there goes the neighbourhood. Independence Day: Resurgence has just opened in theatres locally nationwide with rather impressive queues. If you’re still in line waiting for your ticket or your movie, you can have a whirl with this rather interesting site that lets you blow up whichever part of the globe you’re on virtually by overlaying a Google Street map with epic vistas of alien derived carnage – rubble everywhere, pew pew lasers streaking the sky and huge alien spaceships haphazardly double parked all over the place in the finest Kuala Lumpur driver fashion. The effects are rather mixed and seem to work best in areas without pedestrians – we tried KL Sentral and ended up with an unintimidated female pedestrian striding bravely into the face of an alien capital ship like a High Noon showdown while another fellow was nonchalantly leaning on a railing even in the face of an impending apocalypse.
