And now for something [not-so] completely different.
Hey Skyrim art,
There’s a party in my pants and you’re invited to come…y’know…
…omnom.
Excitement doesn’t begin to describe what I feel for this game right now. Flower is mesmerizing; I have no doubt thatgamecompany will equal surpass it with this.

So amazing. <3
One of the greatest video game songs of all time.
Right you are, man. *fist-pumps*
Link takes to the sky in new Skyward Sword stills.
This came totally unexpected to me during Nintendo’s E3 presentation of the game. Sure, I know the sky factored in BIG TIME, but flying on mother-fucking giant birds as seen on the Hylian Shield over a seemingly huge open sky?
MY BODY WAS NOT READY.
One .gif, so many memories. :’)

THIS IS WHY RPGs ART-DIRECTED BY GHIBLI ARE BETTER ON CONSOLES
The newly-announced PS3 version of Ninokuni: The Another World looks spectacular judging by this trailer. I know for certain I haven’t seen a better-looking overworld map than the one shown here. Now, hopefully this game will be closer to Dragon Quest VIII in quality than the recent drivel Level 5 has put on (White Knight Chronicles, anyone?).
WHEN BLUEPRINTS AND AWESOME COMBINE WE GET MOTHERFUCKING PAC-MAN
Hush Hush Blueprints of the Day: Pac-Man creator Toru Iwatani shows off the original, top-secret sketches which were used in the development of the game-changing game.

I’LL MOST LIKELY TURN THIS PIECE OF ZELDA ART INTO A DECAL
It’s that awesome.
A bit of backstory: I started following The Legend of Zelda series religiously after I played Ocarina of Time on the fabled N64, the only piece of interactive entertainment that I can say with a straight face changed my life for good. Hell, the thing made me a gamer, basically…so yeah, pretty influential stuff. Yes, this is the same game that was just recently surpassed by Super Mario Galaxy 2 as the best ranked video game of all time. It held that crown for close to twelve years. Crazy, I know.
A JOURNEY I CAN’T WAIT TO PARTAKE IN
This is the new piece of interactive art from thatgamecompany, which means that by default this game has shot from the previously unknown to being one of my most anticipated video games right now in a matter of seconds (or the brief moment it took me to realize that this is Jenova Chen’s new baby). Just the tantalizing promise of “going on a journey of exploration and discovery” driven by the “awe towards the unknown” has me ecstatic about experiencing this the second it releases.
Crossing fingers that’s soon. :)
