Random: Post, for Post's Sake.

"I'm not dead" and all that jazz. Haven't updated much, 'cause I haven't been making much that is site-worthy. Here's what's been happening:

Hyper Digitalism - Adam's gettin' his blog-thang on, with this new critical analysis on what games actually do, and why we like them so much. Check it out!


Mr. L. Paulie - He was fun, but my experiment in trying to characterize and clothe him came out... awkward. Definitely not something I want to share with the world. I'm not done with the whole low-poly thing though, no worries.

E3 - The PSP Go!'s not that bad in person, but it does give me hand-cramp, because the controls are too close together, and I've got some pretty small mitts. I'm content to just upgrade my memory stick and download anyway. Otherwise, the show was awesome, and here's a rundown of over-generalizations based on mere minutes of gameplay:
The Game For _____ Is...
  • Danielle (and boys everywhere) - Lost Planet 2. It probably gets Adam's and my Game of the Show for it's super-epic nature, multiplayer functionality, and incredible lack-of-chug. Oh, and there's a rocket-shotgun. I dunno.
  • Mike - Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Game looks awesome for a Wii title, and plays super-tight. If they have GameCube/Classic controller support, this could be a great game to tide you over on the rare occassion you don't want to play Brawl. Or when hell freezes over.
  • Allonte - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers. Wii game, pretty people, psychic powers, main character has a jewel in his face, and in the playable demo there was flying. Your prayers have been answered, my friend.
  • Austin - Get on the PSN and download FF7 RIGHT NOW, you fool!! No need to unbrick your PSP just yet, buddy!
  • JM - Bayonetta. Game is smooth as silk, action is easy to pick-up, but deep, even in the 10 minute demo I played, and Bayonetta is a girl. Not just a skinny boy with tits, she walks, talks, kicks and sashays like an honest-to-goodness female. Yeah, the game's quirky and silly, but if you can enjoy the humor, there's some good-times in store.
  • Honorable Mention - Sin & Punishment 2. Starfox + Rez + anime graphics + hilarious Engrish translations made this one of the most memorable games we saw. The Wii has an alarmingly bad-ass line-up this year, which comes as a big surprise. Aside from that "vitality sensor" mumbo jumbo..


So I've been busy! I'll get back to the art grindstone soon!
