(part one, part two)

I had a dream about a comic/video game series: immense vintage sci-fi landscapes, scattered with Potemkin-village middlebrow strip malls. Some mysterious entity keeps rebooting this world, taking a different role within it each time.

The protagonist was a housewife of some sort, and she was either trapped in this Matrix-type simulation or she was part of the simulation that had become self-aware.

The rest of the population was polite enough, but turns immensely hostile whenever she violates arcane taboos.

The comic version had kind of a 90s alt-underground feel, and I recognized it as “a bit silly but cutting-edge for the time”; the video game adaptation had Bioshock-style stealth, gunplay, and improvised weaponry, plus some randomized roguelike elements.

There are too many amazing Famicase designs ⊟ 

I wanted to feature my favorites from this year’s My Famicase Exhibition – the annual showcase of Famicom cartridge designs for made up games, hosted by Tokyo game shop Meteor – but there are too many splendid pieces to pick from. By the time I got through half of the designs posted on Twitter with the Famicase hashtag, the number of open tabs I had threatened to crash my web browser, so here are ten standout cartridges I’ve found so far, including a number from friends of the site we’ve talked about here before.

The artists we’ve featured above, starting from the top left: Duncan Corrigan,  @pyong_pyong, Adam Tierney, Austin DuBois, William Greenawalt,  Philip Summers, Jordan Rosenberg, Sebastien, @data_doge, and Cory Schmitz.

Meteor will have around 250 Famicase designs up for display at its gallery until May 13. It’s my dream to one day make it to one of these, so if you’re in the area, please do not miss this opportunity to pay Meteor a visit!

Today is my day off so i decided to do some summer cleaning, and i found a box of my old SNES cartridges in my crawlspace, haven’t looked at them since high school. Has anyone heard of this one? It has to be a weird bootleg but i’ve never seen it before. It won’t play, just goes to a black screen with ambient music playing. Kinda spooky.

alternate universe late 90′s arcade game ideas: the beat-em-up classic Dynamite Deka aka Die Hard Arcade but instead based on the Fifth Element with Korben Dallas and Leeloo as the 2 players. Ruby Rhod is an unlockable character (once you get to Fhloston Paradise) who uses that “bzzz BZZZZZZZ” line (when he wants everyone to get away from him) to launch opponents across the stage. if the game is a success Sega will further develop “Crazy Fifth Element Flying Taxi” with Cheb Khaled instead of The Offspring, McDonald’s instead of KFCs for fare destinations. we missed out on some potential hits yall.

If I could make whatever I wanted (independent of my programming/modeling ability).
