Points of Interest – 1/18/07
- Some interesting eBay auctions, mainly for 32MM film slides from the original TransFormers: The Movie, as well as toy cardbacks.
- Someone posted this at the Allspark. A few years ago, there was to be this artbook released called TransFormers: Genesis. I don’t know all the details, but what happened was that one book was split into two, and two was never released, while one saw this really shitty, limited run.
This is of course, bad. A travesty, one might even say.
As it happens, however, someone put a manuscript on eBay. But don’t get any ideas of bidding; it was gone long before I got to it.
I post this because there are images of many pages(all of them? I don’t know).
And frankly, I find a lot of the art to be simply gorgeous, especially the boxart from the toys on the colored-fade backgrounds, and the back-of-box battle scenes.
Since you can get a decent look at most of it, that’s why I posted it here.
Not to knock the movie TransFormers, but I think these designs hold a certain awe, sleekness, and beauty that are simply not seen in the models they have.
- Newsarama has a chat with the voice of Iron Man (with a video clip trailer for next week’s DVD release), plus Gonzo, Spider-Riders, Viz, and more tidbits.
- In honor of the recent news, Matt of Press The Buttons recollects his Ghostbusters II experience.
- So, what’s the difference between a preview and impressions? Ask GameDaily as they take two looks at Wii Play.
- Go Nintendo has a video up of a Japanese commercial for Wario: Master of Disguise.
This game just keeps looking better the more I see it. And Wario games are usually pretty good anyway…
- GN links to an article by PocketGamer about 10 DS games you might want to avoid, though they refute one…
- If you like high-res game art and renders, you may want to cast your eyes over here for some nice Diddy Kong Racing DS screens and art.
- NES inside an NES controller. NOW you’re playing with power…
- So, how does one save the PS3? Well…
- Wow, after all these years, the Jaguar and 3DO are still going.
- Wanna make a Mario quilt? Here’s how!
No need for thanks… just send me one.
- Guns in games: a touching experience.
- If you’re planning on doing some travelling, and the sights and sounds don’t appeal to you as much as the thought of playing some XBox 360, then 2old2play has some tips for bringing it with conveniently.
- Hearing from Sam Kennedy is usually pretty good reading over at 1up (as opposed to say, other individuals who shall remain nameless).
This time out, he’s talking about how much he enjoys his PS3, much to his own disbelief.
In light of this, I am rather curious to see how things progress…
But then, there’s always something like this to make you wonder about the bit regarding multi-disc games, using the hard drive, and such.
