You See a Door...
Ok so my favorite video game company Atlus, is porting over a new game for the DS. it is a japanese game called "Genmu no Tou to Tsurugi no Okite" by a company called Success. It'll be Americanized and called "The Dark Spire" which is a shorter title that will help profitability with stupid Americans.
long story short this game looks fantastic for many reasons, but read this blurb by DS Fanboy for the real rundown of it's AWESOME.
The Dark Spire is a first-person dungeon RPG playable in two distinct graphical styles: a vintage "wireframe" look straight out of Wizardry, or a striking, high-contrast "modern" look. Players control a band of adventurers who attempt to survive the tower stronghold of Archmage Tyrhung in order to gain possession of a magical jewel. According to one baffling screenshot, characters will be able to learn skills including dance, knitting, and "arts and crafts" along the way.
Electric Sheep...
this photo was not taken from the world of Blade Runner. i don't read Cyrillic, so i am going to venture a guess this is a HDR photo of Moscow. well it helps that the link title is "moscow winter life". the photographer has some really awesome HD photos of many different locales, and they are all sort of what i imagine the world looks like on acid or lsd.
Design on a Dime?
(wtf pants??)
so the LA Times asks Philippe Starck to go shop at Big Lots, and he does. two carts full of stuff type shopping. who knew.
maybe the man who has eschewed high end design really isn't blowing smoke?

also worth checking out for the last picture, a photo of his chosen vehicle for Big Lots shopping... very utilitarian. i wonder if that will get some Jalopnik coverage?
I Say I Say...
John K recently put up a blog post detailing the work that goes into a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon, and why that makes him so awesome. definitely worth a read because it gives a great insider's view about the process that made the old WB cartoons so fantastic. in fact a lot of the stuff discussed in the post is why are still so superior to modern day animation.
