This was a triumph, huge success!

This is one of the best video game props I have ever seen. Click for more photos.

It has been far too long since my last post so I will make up for it with this.

Logo I designed

So I originally did some artwork for a podcast called Christian Gamers 2.0. The guys behind CG2.0 have since changed their cast altogether and decided to do a World of Warcraft podcast. So they asked me to do another logo for them and of course I was more than happy to oblige. Check out the final logo I designed for them and if you are a WoW player you should definitely check out their new podcast. Heck, even if you are just interested in MMO’s you’ll enjoy the cast. I don’t even play WoW anymore but I still listen to WoW podcasts.

I need a DS

Wow this is looking and sounding really phenomenal! I had no idea Joe Hisaishi was working on the music for this project! From what I can tell the animation is on par with a full scale Ghibli production and this might be what pushes me to get a DS.

Batman/Toy Story Mashup

Best Halloween costume ever?

This is way too cool. Now he just needs a little sister to go along with it.

Studio Ghibli game in the works

This is really exciting news! Level 5 and Studio Ghibli are working together on a video game called Ni no Kuni. Which means The Other World in english. Ni no Kuni is a DS exclusive title that will probably be shown at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show (TGS). For more photos click here.

I guess this means I need to start saving up for a DS.

Xbox 360 Takes Console Throne in Japan

Wii pushed into second.

The console race took an unexpected twist in Japan this past week as the Xbox 360 emerged on top of a slowing Wii.

Famitsu.com, citing data from parent company Enterbrain, reported today that the 360 sold 28,681 units over the week spanning September 8 to September 14. This was well above the PS3's 8,050 units and even above the Wii's 27,057 units.

The 360's sudden success -- the previous week saw sales of just 843 units -- can be attributed to the convergence of a price drop, a new 60 gigabyte model, fresh hardware shipments following weeks of shortages, and the release of Infinite Undiscovery........read the whole article here.

HTML FTW!

I’m taking a web design course this semester and as you can see it has already had some effect on my blog in the past week or so. There are still some small things I would like to do to improve it but I’m really happy that I can take the things I’m learning and apply it in the real world. Since I do a lot of graphic design I really should have learned to do all of this earlier but better late then never I guess.

Anyways, I’m really enjoying the course and hopefully I will be able to make a site from scratch when I’m done. I’ve had countless people ask me to build sites for them and after this I just might be able to say yes.

P.S. Wow I can't believe it's September already!

30 mins of 90's cartoon intros

If you're around my age this will probably take you back to those good old Saturday mornings. Make sure you have some time set aside because this is a little over 30 mins long.

Book Adaptations

So I got to thinking yesterday what book or book series would you like to see adapted to the big screen? It can be something that is in production or something that might never see the light of day. Here’s my list so far.

C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy

Now I know this would be incredibly challenging and require a lot of alterations but I really enjoyed the story and atmosphere of these books.

Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card

I know that this film is in pre-production-hell and has been for several years, but this classic book would make for a really great original sci-fi film.

I, Jedi by Michael A. Stackpole

Of course this would have to come straight from Lucasfilm but the book’s story was good enough to stand apart from the franchise and it would probably exceed the prequels, at least story-wise.

This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti

Although I read the book a couple of years ago I really enjoyed it and could definitely see a worthy film adaptation, of course with a decent budget.

The Raft by Robert Trumbull

I’m not sure exactly how this would work on the big screen but I absolutely loved this survival story back when I read it.

Here, There be Dragons by James A. Owen

A fun and interesting fantasy that not only pays homage to Lewis and Tolkien but uses them as the main characters in the story. Last I heard, Harry Potter Producer David Heyman was involved with bringing this to the big screen.

Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund

If the Halo movie ever does get off the ground I hope they start with this story first, because I believe it would make a much better movie than a strict adaptation of the first game.

Post your picks in the comments

Jesus was Left4Dead

This idea sort of came to me while I was trying to go to sleep. It's a parody of the XBOX 360 and PC zombie game coming out in November called Left4Dead. If you want you have my permission to use it.

San Francisco Invasion

This is extremely well done.

Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic

The Blizzard team never ceases to awe me with their incredible movie quality cinematics. I truly believe that they should make a full length film, especially after watching their latest creation. Check it out here in it's HD glory!
