I hate Mondays.

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

I do… except it’s Tuesday but with a three day weekend today is this week’s Monday and that means a return to work like the rest of you poor souls.  As the rest of the crew is recovering from the weekend we won’t have much up until tomorrow starting with our new podcast.  We’ll announce the winners of our Killing Floor contest (I almost typed Left 4 Dead 2) as well as discuss plenty of fun things so tune in.

In the mean time I’ve done some music inspired heavily by both The Protomen and Danger as well as a host of  other fantastic chip tune artists like Anamanaguchi.  I only have two tracks so far but I intend to do a lot of stuff in this style that fits together album style.

Introduction
The Research Facility 2.0

Enjoy!

He played an awful fucking kinect precursor in 93.  Look at the son of a bitch go!

Speaking of games as art…

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Brandon Bird did this awesomely hilarious painting titled “Nobody Wants to Play Sega with Harrison Ford“.  Maybe that’s why Harrison Ford is such an angry son of a bitch sometimes?  Maybe not but I think it at least has something to do with it.
