Link Drawer pt. 10
Dec. 19th, 2011 05:43 pmGuys, guys: there is actual 7th Saga artwork on Pixiv. (Perhaps I'm the only one who cares, but *I* was thrilled.)
The self-consciously senselessly-named SharkRobot could use some serious - serious - SERIOUS quality control in their design choices, but this I Believe in Miles Edgeworth (paid for by Miles Edgeworth) shirt almost makes up for it. (P.S. I also like this Zelda button set.)
Who thought New Balance could make something this cool? Why don't we have these?
Found the indie Victorian-western-historical fantasy Shroud from some Tumblr dedicated to female warriors in respectable armor. I can't stand the Victorian era and the blurb synopsis seems to overpromise (and from the trailer, it seems they could use a little help with their fight choreography), but it looks intriguing.
Have I linked to this FF1 gamebook before? Ahh, well. Also, I ran across this title claiming to be a spinoff of a Famicom title, and when I Googled the name, absolutely nothing about the game came up but a TV Tropes article spoiling the identity of the serial killer. Ah, well, part 2.
(While we're on the subject of gamebooks: apparently, this is based on a Famicom game about a female tax collector spun off from a film by the director of Tampopo; what is this I have no freaking idea; why do they need ateji for Contra?; Vampire Hunter D's Doris Lang cosplays Simon Belmont; a Kid Icarus gamebook!)
Does this movie solve the mystery of the Toynbee tiles? Probably not, but I want to see it all the same.
If you read liberal blogs and have been confused by usage of the term "the Village," like I was for over a year, then here's a definition for you.
I like the idea behind Gourmet Gaming, but I'm unsure about the execution. They seem to be doing far better with the Costume Quest stuff, but they've also turned Thomas's biscuit into a doughnut. And who makes their Sinner's Sandwich with Chex? Harrumph harrumph.
On the other end of the culinary aisle: hey, look, it's a 6-way sprinkle shaker filled with bits shaped like cows, moons & stars, tropical fish, and dinosaurs in the appropriate confetti colors for under five bucks. This is clearly one of the finest products ever manufactured. Barring that: here, have a bucket of glucose.
Repurposed Arwen costume.
Video Game Music Daily, which just wrapped up, is an interesting and detailed examination of what makes some of the best and best-renowned videogame tracks work. (Sometimes the videogame history is a little revisionist, though, and watch for spoilers for franchises you haven't played completely, particularly Castlevania. But if you are comfortable with Castlevania spoilers, pick up that "The Silence of Daylight" violin arrangement by virt.)
ETA: Going through the archives, I see that the author is a bit overfond of empty hyperbole, and I also found this line: "It’s actually kind of funny, too, to think of Dr. Light and Mega Man as black dudes." Oh. Oh, dear.
You've probably seen this about Super Mario 3, but what the heck.
Another odd Japanese DS game that makes me wish these things didn't cost $40 to try out. These visual-novel games with sparse silhouetted graphics usually get lousy reviews, but the premises are interesting.
Finally, there are cran-blueberry Tootsie rolls! What have we done to deserve such beauty?! (Search, and you'll find watermelon, fruit punch, and strawberry lemonade, too.)
