Of note: This is concept art for an as-yet unreleased title for the 360.
Allow me to repeat that.
One day, you could be playing this.
SELF INDULGENT POST IS SELF INDULGENT
In honor of me spending way too much time on the internet, here are a combination of my ten fave posts from this year with some contextual shit for referential value.
As adapted from a longer Japanese song in which the protagonist can beat neither Air Man nor Wood Man (with leaf shield there’s no way). Cool art, great engrish translation and the power of METAL made this into my “song that I sing subconsciously for all eternity.”
Party Cat likes to party. That should be reason enough to love party cat, but the little guy is symbolic of a certain group of nautical celebration fiends who ushered me into one of the most transformative periods of my life. tl;dr gayness, Party Cat likes to party.
I would like to point out that I played through this game TWICE to get this screencap. TWICE! Then I had to go in and edit out the fucking mouse cursor, which I stupidly also caught in the pitcure stupid dumb. What’s really great about The Room: The Game is that it’s just as stupid and pointless as the movie. Which, of course, translates to The Room: The Game is the greatest flash game ever to grace newgrounds.
Black Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas
Scanned out of one of my old Hellcar books for the benefit of mankind, Black Aquaman is the reason I get out of bed in the morning. I pray to Black Aquaman before bed, wish upon a Black Aquaman, throw coins in fountains so that Black Aquaman will come true, and have about seven thousand daruna dolls waiting to have their second (black) eye filled in for the glory of Black Aquaman. Soon, when Black Aquaman rises from the eternal sea and smites humanity with a scourge of topless mermaids and Couirvoisier, all will bow to His glory. It’s the big payback under the sea.
4/20 This is Your Brain on Drugs
Originally posted in a fog of lulzy defiance towards anti-4/20 celebration measures on the UCSC campus, this post (as well as any other post I made, liked, or reblogged on 4/20) would become a comically ironic flagship of the failed Porter Meadow smokeout I partook in that very afternoon. Noted by a friend of mine as being “unable to pick up your shoulder bag, which was directly in front of you” I went from atrociously high giggle fits to having a panic-stricken vertigo meltdown in the grass. Over the next three days I would hole up in that same friend’s apartment for thirteen hours out of blind fear, eat all his housemates’ doughnuts before anybody woke up, drive home at a whopping FIVE MILES AN HOUR, lock myself into my house for another 24 hours in case some unspecified foe found me and ate my soul, then spend an additional 24 hours watching reruns of Ellen and eating week old Indian food.
This year I’ll just post a picture of a cat or something.
Lovecraftian Horror faces down Samurai Chick in the best picture ever
An Anders Finer art piece for an unspecified future video game, this has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever put into my eyes. I found it during a big Lovecraft picdive and eagerly posted it knowing that I would soon have the praise and adoration of tumblrteens everywhere.
I was wrong.
Apostle of Hustle - Soul Unwind
Nothing too special here, just an awesome song I discovered on accident thanks to some crappy Sacramento radio station getting an obscure request for it. Thanks, crappy radio station! YOU DA BEST
The original time for Cthulhu, but without any fanfare or relevant tags because I suck. Another incredible piece that is sadly by an artist I can’t remember the name of. Too bad. It’s really, really cool.
An old War Bonds ad featuring Captain America that I trolled out of the sea of internet shit for a project I was hired to write for a struggling college kid. Because I didn’t care even remotely about how well this poor soul did (they hired me to do it, not do it well. This was actually an explicit term of the agreement) I just picked whatever random bullshit I could find from my advertising books and googled the equivalent. Apparently I got an A. Strange…
Dream Post w/ Jeremy Geddes Cosmonauts
I love doing dream posts because they’re awesome and I have a lot of funky dreams. I love pop surrealism and outer space, and Jeremy Geddes paints the best damn Cosmonaut this side of Kalamazoo. Together they create a TRIFORCE OF WIN. I ended up posting more of his work later, but can you ever really have too many Cosmonauts? I doubt it. I double doubt it.
