Open Hatch

This is my number in the “Million Blogs List” experiment.

Ah, EARTHBOUND.  Here’s a favorite capture from this Super Nintendo classic.  Clicking the medium thumbnail opens a full size image (which has been processed to look better at a very large size).

I think these screen shots may be a bit old, and I’m confused by text appearing at this site saying that the Playstation 3 is “forthcoming” (it’s long since already out - maybe this page was posted before it was out) - but oh wow these screen shots are beautiful. These are on-the-fly renders from the game. The characters maybe could afford to possess any emotion other than a tough-guy scowl - but then, maybe that’s just the Metal Gear universe.

The game isn’t out yet (at this writing).

I’ve put up a new blog that just has internet films and clips that I’ve made. It is:

http://www.alexandtia.com/film

The newest entry in it at the moment is:

Concept Trailer: THE SONS OF HELAMAN - or this link will jump to play the video directly.

This new film blog uses a video comment plugin I found for WordPress that allows visitors to post comments that link to a specific time in the video clip. Cool!

And this blog is dying for a new style. Or I am. This here now is ugly. Ug!

The music happens when

I am ready for the next level,
A task has been accomplished,
Something evil and spooky might be going on, but I’m pretty okay with it,
I conquer evil,
It’s awesome,
I die, and when
It’s really, really over.

[Are you a nintendo junkie? Did you guess the game these are from? Castlevania 3. This is another pull from my aging wiki, originally posted April 28th 2005]
