Ah man

I didn’t know Lhasa De Sela passed away over new year. One of the greatest voices of the past 20 years. RIP.
Here’s my favourite two Tindersticks/Stuart A. Staples duets:
And some live stuff:
Cancer truly is a cunt.

Man, I just love typing 2010. It feels totally like the future.
Onwards with some links:
About A Slow Year. Hard to disagree with the commentator who says that he’s made the 2600 look beautiful, really.
The new debate on Games As Ert
Glorious. Infectious. But is it Ert?
Obligatory Paleo Future link: Robots Will Kill Music
Hmm, they didn’t, did they?
It’s the news. As read by a BBC Micro. Of course. Genius. Thanks also to Craig Grannell for pointing me at this which is also pretty neat.
Talking of Craig…
and the frankly boggling “you’ll get addicted to porn if you’re not careful” comments that follow is well worth a read. Hypocrisy? Yuss, it’s all present and correct in App Store politics.
And err, talking of iPhone stuff, George Bray pointed me at this here game. It’s quite clearly NSFW and erm, not very realistic either. It’s not on the App Store (curiously enough) but y’know, thought I’d mention it anyway. Just be careful, looking at it may turn you into a raging slut or something.
Also, it would seem we’re all doomed, doomed I tells thee. Either that or someone just doesn’t understand how things work.
Hardcasual just goes from strength to strength.
Timely in the wake of Ubisoft’s DRM-o-geddon fest and a welcome publicly availablenesslark for Stu’s Total PC Gaming piece.
Featuring my absolute favourite, so it gets a lovely link. Well done, Chris. You chose well.
Stupid tabloid shit of the week.

“In more extreme cases, mostly boys aged between 14 and 16, some revealed they do nothing but play video games of an evening, even resorting to eating food with one hand while the other gripped a controller.”
SHOCKING! I’m sure you’ll agree.
More stupid!
This time it’s the CoE though. *sigh*
“I have seen its pernicious effect. A family member saw a so-called ‘game’ and he had nightmares. The images remained with him for months”
Or rather, writing about The Brits. As if they’d be that classy.
Defending The Indefensible: Courtney Love
Everett True totally on form. I’m going to assume everyone has already picked up the (official and legal) torrent of PlanB Mag for more musical readage.
It Moves!

Just about. A short video of SYNSO3 in action. Not much of SYNSO3 because, well, there still isn’t *much* of SYNSO3 to show. Normally, I hate putting the actual levels together, in this case it’s been so long building the game that I can’t bloody wait.
So, whilst I fume myself senseless over the latest shit emanating from Chez Tale Of Tales (Punk is anti rock n roll? Oh, do fuck off) sit down and enjoy some fireworks. Click through to Vimeo to watch it in big-o-vision.
