1UP have done a feature called “5 Years: The Best of 1UP”
They’re basically listing the most entertaining or most interesting features they’ve done during the past 5 years. There are both quite interesting and very entertaining articles there, so it’s definitely worth checking out:
5 Years: The Best of 1UP from 1UP.com
I’d suggest checking out:
Why Do Videogame Stories Suck? – Alternate takes on how stories should be written
Game Over: How Different Gamemakers Cope With Death – A very interesting piece on why death is present in games and how it can be avoided
Licensed to Kill: Army of Two Interview – Another interesting article, this one being an interview with an actual Private Military Contractor comparing Army of Two (a game where you play cooperatively as two mercenary soldiers) with the real trade
1-800-Confess – A bit on the lighter side, this is a list of hilarious calls to the gaming help hotlines of old
Videogame Jobs Guide from EGM – An article-series spanning 16 interviews with people with various jobs in the gaming business, the name describes the rest
These are of course only a few of those that caught my eye.
An entertaining read if you have time to spare ^^
Following the theme of “mirrors”…
This is no doubt the coolest puzzle in existence.
To sum it up, it’s Rubik’s cube + Japan with a mild touch of M. C. Escher:
When solved, it looks much like a regular Rubik’s cube. It twists and turns like a regular Rubik’s cube and it is solved in the exact same way – But instead of each piece having different colors, each piece has a different size.
Scramble the cube and you’ll have this work of art:
You gotta admit, that’s pretty damn cool!
Since it works the same way as a regular cube, anyone who has learned how to solve a 3×3 cube can just jump in and play around.
No doubt the only time you’d want to leave the cube unsolved.
I’m hoping to buy one within a few months.
I might post a video of it…After I’ve gotten used to it of course >;D~
Alright, blog is up and running. Blame its existence on Claine.
The about-page pretty much sums up what I’m going to be doing here, so I’ll just leave it at that.
