All I seem to be able to do lately is sketch, though that may be in part because I’m trying to do different things with my style. So to make up for the lack of updates as of late here’s some of my more recent sketches:
Okay so it’s not my art, but it’s based off my characters. Please enjoy it and remember to visit the artists! You can check out the newish Fanart section for more.
This game… isn’t really a game. It’s a… I don’t know what it is. But what it is, is, is neat. Sure I probably won’t buy Endless Ocean (known as "Forever Blue" in Japan which is a much better title so why didn’t they use it here?) right away, but I did rent it to see what it was all about. I do like swimming, and I love the sea, though I’ve never been scuba diving for inherent fear of the bends. Endless Ocean will at least give you a pretty good idea of the experience.
Alright, so I lied when I said I hadn’t been watching any new anime. I’ve discovered I can find pretty high quality videos of almost anything on Veoh.com, and since then have been watching more bootlegged fansubs than in my brief stints of using Bit Torrent. Of course I think supporting the industry is still important, so if I really like a series I’ll be likely to purchase it… really, I’ll buy Death Note one of these days!
Anyway, among the anime I’ve been watching recently is Hell Girl. I’ve watched all of the first season and started into the second, and I’m still not really sure about what to think of this series. The main character is quite alluring in her design, but the rest of the series seems to fall flat. Don’t get me wrong, it’s entertaining, and it can be very pretty at times, but I can’t see it as much more than brain candy.
I’ve finally managed to get the hang of Dead Rising, and yes I’m fully aware Dead Rising came out like 2 years ago but I didn’t get a 360 until fairly recently and it’s my blog, I write what I want!
I always said if I ever got a 360 I’d have to play the "zombie mall game" so purchased Dead Rising with the attitude of a chortling 15 year old boy expecting a mindless free-for-all type fair where I’d merely be picking up a hilarious variety of items and bashing zombies until the game said I was done. And that’s certainly how the game was advertised, and it seems they had good reason for the misleading campaign. As it turns out you can’t just run around willy-nilly bludgeoning zombies, you also have to deal with survivors, government agents, and a series of criminally insane people running around the mall you spend the game trapped in. You’re also on a tight schedule and if you miss the time of any of the main plot events the game punishes you by closing off the rest of the plot and offering to let you start all over again.
Or at least, also from your last save, which due to the scarcity of save points could have been so far back it’s just better to start again with your current level and inventory.
Dead Rising seems like it is a game thats intended for multiple playthroughs seeing as you really can save your current level and stuff and start all over from the beginning if you die or mess everything up, and once you skip all the cutscenes everything can go by kind of quickly.
