Bruce Everiss vs The World - The oxygen of publicity.
I’ve mentioned it a couple of times before, but what started out as a slightly curious incident of one man revising history has began spiralling across various internet sites in almost Smart-ian proportions. Only at least Mr Smart had the decency to appear under his own name on most occasions.
You’re a big man but you’re out of shape…
So, another week - another minor update to the devlog I’m afraid. Not done very much at all in the way of coding as I’ve been heads down on the exciting RR cleanup and tidy fest. Remind me to not let it get into that state again, it’s worse than when you forget to the tidy your desk after a week…
Sunday Linky Sunday
Good lord, is it that time already? It only seems like a week since I last dropped a link dump… oh, that’s right - it is a week. Durrrh. Ever onwards then with some links of stuff and things that have impressed me this week.
Fun From Yesterday - munged up Atari2600 game covers. Some funny, some not. However, fucking with game art is something I heartily approve of.
Half Man Half Biscuit:CSI Ambleside - out Monday. Utter genius as ever. “Tonight you’ll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford’s Knob”. Quite.
The Escapist Post Mortem Issue - I used to be inclined to really detest The Escapist when it first burst onto the scene as it invariably involved too many words to say too little. Nice to see things have changed drastically and the latest issue is a must read. I especially enjoyed the Mucky Foot article.
Zenoclash - Awesome art style, trailer looks a bit disappointing. Fingers crossed though. And is this a badger?
The Art Of Braid - Man, I hate doing title screens but if I could make title screens that looked like this, I’d make them every single day. Also, I want Braid to hurry the damn up so I can play it.
Adventures Of Alex - Cute game. Contains pissing. What more could you ask for? Aside from more tits and a slightly less temperamental “will it work, won’t it?” thing going on.
Dreamcast Chicken Thing - I love UK Resistance. Needs more Sony baiting though.
Carbon Offset Deathstar - I really need to actually collar Ed and try and make a game with him at some point.
Polymaniacs - New video. New hanky required. The game looks awesome.
New Ablation X video - Nurse!
