Defiance and Shinies

Well I am quite happy with him. Though I am definitely resting my hands over the weekend.

Not much to report on. Still happily living off of macaroni and cheese and Ramen with veggies. And toast. And cereal. It's still a very exciting life I lead. So I'll move on.

( A little ilustrated mini-article on making art in defiance. In case anyone may be interested. )

And now a few links, because... links. I'm admittedly a little concerned not over Kotaku making a big deal out of yet another rumor that Versus has stopped production (it's Kotaku, after all; there are no slow news days when you make your own shit up), but that there has been no statement made at all. There are announcements planned in September, though, so... I'll just keep hoping.

I'm also a little concerned that the last few Tamashii Nations sneak peek didn't include any Tiger & Bunny figures, but they may have separated T&B from those "other" product lines. Heh. H-01 rant, you know it by heart by now.

And while we're talking on slightly unsettling things, What may be the world’s first cybernetic hate crime unfolds in French McDonald’s, and the not-so-helpful follow-up. The future isn't exactly looking bright, here.

So let's focus on a much brighter future and Ron Gilbert talking complete sense: "You have to do what you want to do, and you have to do what you think is the right thing to do and what you think is the best thing to do. People who like what you do and are fans of your work are just going to like what you do as long as you do something true to yourself. You can get into a lot of trouble when you start to worry too much about what people are going to think because then you start to get into this weird self-censorship cycle. You do something that might be interesting and different and unique, but you become too worried what people are going to think, and you censor it." LISTEN TO THIS MAN.

And finally, I'm just utterly fascinated by the idea of trying to develop a menu for a mission to Mars. And for the time people stay there. And for the trip back. You better include lots of chocolate. And Doritos. I mean... Doritos.
