Come Home To The Simpsons from devilfish on Vimeo.
I just thought this video was pretty cool. Also, I found it on someone else’s blog - StuffThatMattersStuffThatDon’t - so be sure to visit that blog and show your respect!
Until next time

I thought this was just awesome. Remember the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64? Well, it’s just gotten an HD makeover. Sadly, it’s not the folks over at Nintendo that did this, it’s just a hack. Which means if you want to play it in HD, you’ll have to, well, download it…

Anyway, here’s a site that shows you the difference as well as tells you how to install this on your own. Enjoy!
Until next time

It’s been awhile since I posted something, so I thought I’d throw this up:
That seems to be one of the key suggestions of a report from the National Endowment for Science, Arts and Technology (NESTA) in the UK that looks at ways of increasing the pipeline of talent for the booming games industry in the country.
The report is the culmination of a review conducted by Ian Livingstone, life president of Square Enix, and Alex Hope, managing director of VFX company Double Negative; the authors have made 20 recommendations to the Department of Education to chart out a path for the UK to emerge as a world leader in games production and visual effects.
When I was little I wanted to make video games when I grew up. Don’t know if I’ll end up doing that still.
Until next time
