Check it out. Brilliant idea, wonderfully executed. This guy is a great artist. (I also love the name of his blog.)
Joker's Last Laugh
Did you anticipate the big plot twist of Batman: Arkham City? Here's all the ways the game hid that secret from you while also rubbing your nose in it.
Trekrospective
A look back at Star Trek, from the Original Series to the Abrams Reboot.
id Software Coding Style
When the source code for Doom 3 was released, we got a look at some of the style conventions used by the developers. Here I analyze this style and explain what it all means.
The Best of 2018
I called 2018 "The Year of Good News". Here is a list of the games I thought were interesting or worth talking about that year.
The Opportunity Crunch
No, brutal, soul-sucking, marriage-destroying crunch mode in game development isn't a privilege or an opportunity. It's idiocy.
Wow, that rocks. Star Wars seems to lend itself quite well to Steampunk. I liked the Vader one in particular.
Ah surprised you hadnt seen this yet. Its pretty cool, I love the take on Han and Mr. Chewbacca
Meh. Maybe Steampunk is just something like anime. One either gets it, or one doesn’t. I don’t get either. But I can still appreciate the love and talent that goes into creating both.
Further evidence for the “Empire Strikes Back” hypothesis that Star Wars is only good if someone other than George Lucas does it.
Steampunk Star Wars seems nonsensical to me, since Star Wars has no bearing on the Victorian Era.
The drawings are interesting, but what’s the point of them?
I mean, really, why stop with steampunk? We could have Tolkienesque Fantasy Star Wars, Gingerbread Star Wars, Mother Goose Star Wars, Brothers Grimm Star Wars, Poker Star Wars, James Bond Star Wars, Project Runway Star Wars, Shakespearean Star Wars, Paleolithic Cave Painting Star Wars, WWII Star Wars, Dukes of Hazzard Star Wars, it could just go right down the spiraling whirlpool of madness.
I would like to see a steampunk world with similarities to Star Wars, using the same archetypes, but otherwise original, released first as an award-winning series of graphic novels and then made into a huge overblown cinematic release that gets killed at the box office by some idiotic Ben Stiller movie.
