An interview with Yoshitaka Amano

from http://www.amanosworld.com/Sorry to all Nomura fans out there, but to me Final Fantasy died a little when Amano’s influences dwindled. PingMag had an interview with Amano and laced it with some of his beautiful artwork.

You may also want to check out his own website at Amano’s World.
I really like how the differences in imagery, still gives away his general style without pinning it down too much.

And Tekkaman is, of course, just plain awesome.

Lego Vic Viper


This is just positively awesome. A Vic Viper (from Konami’s Gradius-series) recreated with Lego. Now can someone do a Lord British and the ZOE Vic Viper next?

Papkak

pop·py·cock (pŏp’ē-kŏk’)
_ n. Senseless talk; nonsense._

[Dutch dialectal pappekak : pap, pap (from Middle Dutch pappe, perhaps from Latin pappa, food) + kak, dung (from kakken, to defecate, from Middle Dutch kacken, from Latin cacāre; see kakka- in Indo-European roots).]

I always wondered what the word poppycock actually meant. That it would be Dutch and could be translated to as much as ‘porridge-dung’ is fascinating in all the wrong ways. I mean ‘papkak’ isn’t common at all in Dutch. We actually use the word ‘shit’ nowadays. (Which isn’t nearly as ‘weighted’ a swear-word in Dutch as it is in English.)

Wanderer on the Offensive

If you like your music with a rock-flavour, you’re in luck. OCRemix has just posted a remix of a tune from Shadow of the Colossus and it’s excellent. Truly excellent. Good enough to download and stick into your mp3-player even.

So go get it already.
