Predictive Programming – Video Game Edition

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Brutally dystopian cutscenes from recent videogames promote peak oil and (unsurprising given the nature of these games) the idea that getting all insurrectionary on the PTB is where it’s at.  I prefer to get my predictive programming (dig Koopa’s fleet exiting adjacent stargates at 1:27) from games like this.

Have fun and cuídate.

Ninokuni (Another World)

Dang, this kid opens a hall-of-pillars stargate by drawing and bisecting an omega…  Been game-free for going on tres años, but I  might have to get a DS for this Level-5/Ghibli RPG

Level-5 currently have at least eleven titles in development, seven for the Nintendo DS, two for the PlayStation Portable and two for an unannounced console. Recently it has announced a new Professor Layton trilogy taking place before the events of Professor Layton and the Curious Village of which the first game Professor Layton and the Devil’s Flute will be released later this year. It also continues to collaborate with Square Enix on Dragon Quest IX: Defenders of the Starry Sky, the first mainline entry the series has seen exclusively on a handheld and it will be released in July 2009. Inazuma Eleven 2 is the peculiar soccer RPG which combines unique stylus driven soccer action with the RPG pedigree Level-5 is known for and will be similar to its predecessor.

Just dig that 41K-14K mirroring with 29K (11-11) smack dab in the middle…

The Onion Movie kinda sucked, except for this bit.

Their short internet videos tend to rock, however.
