Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure (Wii, 2007) - yeah, I'm writing this at work.
Zack & Wiki is Capcom's surprising point-and-click style adventure/puzzler that seemed to have everything in its favor to make me love it. A fun and beautifully crafted art direction (other than a few auditory annoyances here and there; see: Wiki's voice and, strangely, the text box confirmation). Mostly highly favored amongst reviewers. Some Zelda ( Read more... ) -
Rhonda reviews Metroid Zero Mission (GBA, 2004).
Let's get this out of the way, for I am a former Catholic and therefore love the occasional self-deprecating confession: I was much more of a SNES girl than an NES girl, and this means I had never completed the original Metroid. Are you up off the floor now? Good. When the SNES came out, I became much more interested in video games in general. So I ( Read more... ) -
10 weeks since last entry!? "Sword of Mana" mini-review
It's official: LJ is dead (duh), but it can still be used for these silly game reviews I like to do on occasion for my own amusement. Only because it updates Facebook too ( Read more... ) -
Critique of Chrono Cross. I didn't even get to see Serge's ass.
My summer critique class (Game Design Criticism and Analysis) has gotten me into a funny habit of, well, critiquing whatever old game I happen to be playing. This will in no way be that damned formal. It literally takes me months, if not years, to get around to completing most games if I complete them at all, and it doesn't help when they're ( Read more... ) -
Artemis!
Come one, come all to test our LATEST Artemis (working title) demo. Programming/scripting, interface, map editor creation, and rockin' tunes courtesy of Noah. Pixel pushin' by myself. Story, concepts, and world creation by both of us ( Read more... ) -
Cleaning house.
I am probably tired and confused, but I cleared out a lot of folks on the FL. If you're no longer on my list and either should be or want to be ;) - you should reply.
Also, I'm almost exclusively on Facebook these days. Yeah, yeah, I know. Hit me up. -
Fred Tomaselli
I'm really just *tolerating* lol this Contemporary Art course that I'm taking at the moment (it would be 'art history', but since much of it is current, the term would be an oxymoron ;p). Being introduced to some artists makes it worth it though, and I thought some of ya'll would appreciate the wonder of Fred Tomaselli ( Read more... ) -
Jean-Michel Basquiat
I can't help it - I'm totally entranced by the messy beauty of Mr. Basquiat's work. And I am here to share the love. Mildly NSFW at the end, I guess. You're welcome:

Andrew Wyeth - Memorial
American painter Andrew Wyeth died on Friday 1/16. He was 91 and seems to have been painting until pretty much the end. He died in his sleep, at his home. Really, I think this is a happy announcement (well, as much as it can be). What I mean is that a long, successful/talent-filled life had a good and peaceful end to it. I saw his work at the ( Read more... )
