It's Critter Time!

the Ori games ( Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps ) really did it for me... Ori's light spirit species is both adorable and weird at the same time; he has both paws AND hooves lol

there's also a bunch of other non-humans in those games - the owls, whatever Naru and her family are, the Gumon, and a ...

this was hard!!! there are so many good ones! here's my list...

* ESCHATOS -- i know it technically wasn't released in an arcade, but it is designed exactly like an arcade shmup and would work perfectly on a proper cabinet
* DDR Extreme - despite what people say, everyone truly knows in their ...

i've tried the first Dark Souls and it wasn't really for me; a little too much "haha you did this very specific thing slightly incorrectly, screw you" for my tastes.

Bloodborne, however; holy CRAP that game is incredible. i would replay Bloodborne on a dime, any day, no questions asked. i love that ...

I'm thinking that it's probably the table the printer is on. I have a small workbench that I keep it on in the corner of my bedroom, and the feet aren't exactly the most cushiony.

i'm looking forward to purchasing more of its game library ...

i have four at the moment:

* two Sony PVM-14N5U that i have yet to RGB mod (but honestly, S-video looks real damn good on them already, so i'm considering not even doing the mods)

* one Sony KV-27FV300 as my "big girl" CRT for 480p stuff - i also have it hooked up through a TVOne Corio2 hardware ...

Jeremy Blake/Arp's new drum and bass album "Superstructures" is fantastic:



he's also just a great guy, he was the guest of honor at FWA last year and makes badass music and videos

the end-all-be-all solution would be to build a secondary box for your printer that is as isolated as possible - "float" the inside, use vibration-damping fasteners and feet on everything, and build an acoustic-foam-lined labyrinth for ventilation with something like a Noctua fan or two.

about a year and a half ago, Inka-Subs released a new English fansub of the 1989 Jungle Emperor anime - aka The New Adventures of Kimba the White Lion. this is the one that used to have ads on the Pokemon VHS tapes.
