link (to original dtoid post?) about the vote on threadless.

Probably one of the most tasteful mash-ups i've seen between videogames and classic art (is 'through the looking glass' old enough to be considered classic art now?) was at one point in time put to a vote for possible printing on a t-shirt. I gave it a 5, i love both alice in wonderland and mario. Everytime i see the design, i can't but help think of the Jefferson Airplane song. I came across Sachka's blog in an attempt to find out if the shirt or design would be available at another site.

Looks like it was supposed to be printed on a t-shirt, sweater, and bag at Noisebot.com. I appear to have a problem accessing the site normally through firefox, yahoo errors abound.

...minutes later...

This post was a work in progress as i was looking for the shirt....looks as though the site is working properly for me now.... odd. Anyway here's a link to the shirt.

Permalink to Sachka's blog entry about the shirt. (note: site is in français, so if you don't understand the language run it through google translator for a rough idea as to what's being said)

I will say i like the original design a bit more but this one is still noche de sexo, I'll be buying one by the end of the week.

This song used to bring a smile to my face, plenty of times i'd hear it on the radio as a budding youth in a northern Ohio city. This was a time before time, a time when i had a cd/cassette player in my bedroom and actually used to the record feature of that player to get songs off the radio. This old bookshelf recorder looked like some evil machinized ivy, with wires and tinfoil used to enhance the reception.

This track is now the bane of my existence. Between work, Lost Odyssey(destroy all kelolons!), and exercise, i get maybe 30 to 40 minutes before bed to practice my (rockband) drums. Blackened completed on hard, same for And Justice. 2 songs which are considered to be harder even by Harmonix's own admission (due to their placing on the playlist). If i so much as miss 2 or 3 bass kicks and maybe 2 or 3 red notes, i'm down to yellow on my meter.

Working on the hard solo career, i've unlocked most of the indie songs, and played through almost all of my dlc in hopes that something in one of those songs will help Vasoline click........it's not working!

Eric Kretz, you sir are an ass.

Really is it that necessary to be so irregular with your bass pedal....really, is it?

If anyone from Harmonix reads this, I hate you by proxy.


(also, have my babies)

There's no red lion-thing party member, no iconic weapon, no party member with cans the size of hot air balloons, no "materia".....ok... so maybe there is one theme that remains the same. Still you have Sed(Cid) the quintessential old mechanic guy (minus ffvii he wasn't that old), Ultimate weapons, sub bosses (ruby weapon, blue dragon etc etc), ultimate weapons, amnesiatic heroes.

I haven't exactly finished the game yet, thanks to (experiment No.1 in grandstaff) i'm forced to farm up additional levels, bastard kept regening almost all the life i was taking off. On top of forcing me to res sed and wasting my caster's attacks on heals. suffice to say i don't think a level 39-42 party is enough to finish the game.

This game feels, to me anyway like Final Fantasy 7 rehashed, sure Gongora is not was sephiroth was then (before sephiroth was milked for all the badassy-ness he had). The game takes me back to a time when rpgs ruled the playstation landscape, and fps was the ugly duckling of the gaming world. To me, this story is a distillation of everything that has been done over the years in JRPGs with a little thrown in to the combat system to keep your attention during turn based combat.

Now all we need is a Lost Odyssey: Tactics. Which plays out Kaims exploits as a mercenary. Sure it'd milk the story, but i want a pretty turn based strategy game which has more depth than Commanders: Attack of the Genos





(spoilers?)

Despite the games storyline amazingly well told story, every time i hear Kaim and the other immortals refer to their age and the fact that they aren't from this world, just inhabiting bodies here. I can't help but think of the sham that is Scientology.
