  2. You know, for all the times I throw around “glitch” as a descriptor, I haven’t searched the term “glitch art,” which I’ve first seen today in this tumblr’s title. Skipping frames and vertical scrolling are all right, but my favorites are the digital buffer issues like the one up here. They happen often enough while using VLC, and they retain so much of the original’s qualities while still looking alien and unrelated to the original’s vision.

  3. The Fight with Hoyt from Far Cry 3

    Obviously spoilers for these two scenes, they’re climactic ones from my favorite video game in recent memory. I don’t post them cause they’re badass (they are) or beautifully choreographed (those finishers, damn) but because they demonstrate this hallucinatory headspace that the player character, a privileged white college bro, enters whenever he deals with something he would see as badass himself. The entire game is about the hero myths we develop for our own narrative, and how they may betray us— but that betrayal isn’t clear from these examples, so just enjoy the pretty design that’s unlike anything else in a first-person shooter. And some stabs. Lots of stabs.

    My latest limited edition t-shirt, “Spirit Fighter”! ♥
    Only $11 on 02/13 @ TheYetee.com!

    Someday, years from now, my first owned home is going to need extra t-shirt closets. I can’t decide if I’d play as No-Face or Catbus, as both seem silly… but No-Face would be quicker and have some sneaky teleporting techniques— hold up is that a Nausicaa monster with the red eyes in the bottom left??

    jesus christ I have had this open in my browser for like two weeks just wanting to post it but also never exactly feeling inspired enough to post it, I don’t know why, but here, just here, take it, enjoy, it’s a map of Westeros (from Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire) done up in Super Mario World graphics, fuck, it doesn’t even feel worth it anymore, I’m tired and have bruises up and down my arms and can’t muster up the energy to write more than the 500 words I already committed to my thoughts on last night’s show, so just hold out a lil longer, we’ll get there together

Prometheus
The future holds a bleak outlook with not much promise. Scavenging domes, potential is found that has the chance to aid in the fight to redeem a doomed era.
Dynastinae
A pair of brothers by your side, one smelly, the other picky. You hear a noise, but that couldn’t be a bee? Or could it…
Boss’s Keep
The leering scimitar gazing over the world it seized atop a king’s castle. This is the ultimate destination in one of the best plumber equipping, time attacking, star hunting games on the SNES!
Buy them here! http://www.fangamer.net/products/super-rpg-trio 

I immediately bought these. Are you kidding me? I spewed my love for Earthbound all over this tumblr earlier today! This nigh-tryptych finds me as I’m searching for something silly to gift myself; dude, everything is going well.

  8. The Magical Kingdom of Zeal

    Chrono Trigger’s floating island full of magi-supremacists gets revamped with Wind Waker’s cel-shaded stylings. I’m not sorry if that doesn’t make sense to you, cause it makes more sense than most things to me.

    Yves Tanguy, Indefinite Divisibility
Do you think this just presents itself in his mind or he constructs it based on its components as he goes? And that’s really all I have to offer here

    Josh Gowdy portrays Cyclops in Emma Frost’s costume for a collection of drawings originally called for as a response to this article about the objectification of women in comics. (helluva sentence)
Out of the rest, this one stands out the most for me; while the rest of the men look ashamed or confused by their new duds, Cyclops is owning it.

    The unnerving but vivid pixel art of Uno Moralez (NSFW)
Both the loops and the images are worth checking out, and both are a good idea to peek at right before bedtime. I really want to know what he was thinking of/what he was inspired by for each of these pieces. I keep getting flickers of different influences but they’re hard to pin down. FUNNY STUFF!

    Stunning, funny, and complex pixel art by jalonso. Painstaking attention to detail makes these look like screenshots of actual games. Never have I wanted to be Andy Warhol SO BAD.
Also, can you find Marilyn Monroe?
