For those of you who don’t know, I co-wrote the video game ASSASSIN’S CREED II. A very exciting gig to be part of.
Just last week, one of the sequences I wrote solo was released as a DLC (Downloadable Content) – and to promote it, a trailer was released.
You have to watch it. This is very cool.
I love seeing all my dialogue and action scenes rearranged into trailer moments.
My favorite is a line taken from the beginning of the sequence — when Ezio hears he’s going to be helping the very sexy Caterina Sforza. And being the horndog he is, says: “I think I’m going to like this mission.” — But for the trailer, they build up slowly to it, using all these incredible action shots: Boom! Boom! Boom! And then cut to Ezio, smiling knowingly:
Um, as you may have noticed, I haven’t really given Subverse much love this year. It is what it is.
But I invite you to take a gander at my new and very exciting (and very different) new site. It’s an Image Stream, that I curate with my friend Donovan. It’s kinda deep.
Man, I have always loved this Hal Hartley dance number!
And whatever happened to Elina Löwensohn? She was too cool and so beautiful.
I got to rent her video tapes at Kim’s Video once, 12 years ago when I was but a lowly video store clerk. I told her I was a fan. She was surprised I knew who she was, and hung out and flirted with me for a few minutes. Made my day!
My god, what a blast from my childhood…
I actually still have that red-and-blue Shogun Warrior in my room in my parents’ house. And for years, I’ve had no idea what he was or where he came from.
I love when little mysteries like these are solved.
His name, apparently, is Great Mazinga! (With rocket launchers.)
Love it.
“Hey, sweetheart. Wanna come up to my room and see my great mazinga?”
And that line about Godzilla: “Imagine his breath is a blast of fire!”
I’m afraid I’ve dated girls I didn’t have to imagine.
Thanks to Plaid Stallions for the hook-up. A great romp through the past.
meaning simply… do you really need so much of it?
here’s a fun little Flash anime Time Eater for all you with just too much of it.
a little old school skateboarding, Atari “Pitfall” style.
it’s utterly pointless and repetitive, and yet, i don’t know, tapping away at those little arrow keys (and Space to jump!) brings a sort of Zen calm over me.
