Time for a past art update.
Here’s the painting I did for this year’s I am 8 Bit Show.
Robo, Crono, Lucca, Ayla, Frog and Marle are all in the image.

Watch the video below to see a great rendition of the Chrono Trigger / Chrono Cross themes by [...]
Besides Street Fighter 4 and Tatsunoko vs Capcom, there is one other sparring game that is blowing my mind: Ultimate Ninja Storm. The style, timing, and cinematic quality has been translated in a way which I’ve never seen in a 3-d fighter. The frame rate seems to hold stable during game play, even at [...]
The concept surrounding this title posed some interesting questions not many explore. Origins, self-awareness, and the evolution of social organizations from bestial necessity to cosmic exploration find themselves under the macroscope. The game in no small way entertains the viewpoints between intelligent design and evolution. To some degree I think it plays a [...]
You will probably do a double-take after watching the trailer below, thinking it’s an old game for the NES. It tricked me too. This is going to be the new Megaman 9 game released by Capcom! They got back to the basics, and even put in the screen flicker that was a [...]
Below are some links and great pictures (notcot.com) taken at the I am 8 Bit event that happened a couple of days ago. A few of my friends (Woebots, Peekaboo, 2H) from Pocket Full of Monsters customized an arcade machine that was sitting out in front of the venue. Wow. It looks [...]
Every once in a while a crazy game comes along that does something to redefine the genre in its time. I was blown away by the play mechanics and logic puzzles in Portal, and it looks like Braid is something of the same category. When I first saw videos if it, the design [...]
In this picture here you can see the character Frog from the game Chrono Trigger on the left, and Steamboat Willie on the right. Why is there a plus sign between the two?
…because those are the two styles I am combining to re-create the characters for the painting I’m working on. I was [...]
It was a difficult choice, trying to figure out what characters to paint for the I am 8 Bit show. Someone asked me, “Why don’t you paint the Chrono Trigger characters?” That was a great idea. With the upcoming release on the Nintendo DS, and the fact it is one of my favorite games [...]
All the versus fighting series by Capcom are my favorites, and they’ve just released the first trailer for the new game, tatsunoko vs. capcom. It looks like the developers are taking advantage of the “2.5-D” platform being used in Street Fighter 4, with ridiculous and over-the-top super attacks that have made themselves a staple [...]
Tonight I’m sketching out some ideas for the upcoming I am 8 Bit show in Los Angeles. If you haven’t heard of the show, you can check out last year’s event here on Kotaku. All the artwork is themed to video games, one thing I’ve fried more of my brain on than anything [...]
Building sophisticated educational tools out of cheap parts, Johnny Lee demos his cool Wii Remote hacks, which turn the $40 video game controller into a digital whiteboard, a touchscreen and a head-mounted 3-D viewer.
To understand Johnny Lee, just take a look at his personal projects page.
When he’s not hacking Wiimotes, Lee is a graduate student [...]
I found this video of all 32 courses of the new mario kart game on ww.wiinintendo.net. This game looks pretty incredible. I’ve been a huge fan of mariokart from its debut on the super nintendo back in the day. Since moving from home years and years ago, I willed my super nintendo [...]
As I was painting last night I was finally able to check out this movie. I’ve been curious about it ever since seeing trailers and the hype, pumping it up as the classic video game movie must see. After finishing the film and being absolutely riveted for 79 minutes, you can guess that my [...]
Remember the game Oregon Trail? If you were born in the 70’s or early 80’s, it should be a staple experience of early computing childhood. I myself sucked at it, because I was really into the hunting mini-game. I’d end up with several thousand pounds of food and freeze to death somewhere [...]
What’s better than Super Mario World ? Not too many games in the spiral galaxy….unless it’s Super Mario World: Hacked. I have to give the people playing this game credit, the patience to succeed in this version is an ultimate test of focus and will.
