Cool Stuff!

This is cool! I love art that explores the use of simple objects in “interesting” ways.

Slow news day for Opposable Thumbs...

Yeah, looks like a slow news day at Ars if you’re bitching about game names and minigames. As for game names, I could care less, and yes I’ll admit that I sometimes even find them amusing. The only gripe as far as the names go is the silly “®” or “©” symbols in the name (e.g. PLAYSTATION®3). Minigames to me only become a problem if they become critical for completing the game, and even then when their well done I find them more of a benefit than detriment to the game.

Masaya Matsuura, my hero...

Yes, my hero… Well not quite, but I have been an immense fan of NanaOn-Sha’s work; so when I heardMasaya Matsuura was going to be speaking at GO3 I was excited about it, yet at the same time bummed ’cause I wasn’t going to be there to see it (I’d seem him speaking at GDC several years back). LuckilyGamasutra posted a nice synopsis.
