indigozealI've been following this LP of the Silent Hill cellphone games for a while and keep neglecting to mention it - which is an injustice, since it's a quality look at a unique and not unpleasant curiosity in the franchise. With their odd yet intriguing tale of the survivors of a fire in an orphanage being called back to their childhood home in their adult years, the games capture that lonely, nightmareish quality better than what I've seen of the major U.S.-made entries. The titles also feature a few disconcerting skanceways references to the main games - but the LPer discovers a fine way of coping with that.
A snippet of guitar from Kenji Eno's audio novel Kaze no Regret. Hope to hear more than this of it someday.
From a Japanese version of Ultima IV: that is one sweet bard on the cover, man. She is rocking those '80's leggings. We should aspire to such fashion prowess.
There was a guy at Game Informer whose father enjoyed Resident Evil 4. Thinking Dad might enjoy seeing how the franchise began, the guy invites his dad to play the original RE. It does not go well.
Finally: Hilarious.
