Colin's Bear Animation (YouTube) OK, you need the backstory here. Apparently this was done by an animation student for a class in which the lessons were... subpar. So his final project became a commentary on the lousy nature of the course. You'll watch it twenty times, believe it.
Criterion responds to Burnout HDD issue (Games Industry.biz) There it is. Anybody who cheaped out and bought the HD-less 360s (Core and Arcade models) can't play Burnout online. This is going to happen more and more. $280 for the Arcade doesn't sound like so great a deal anymore, does it grandma?
Bad design alert stickers (design-police.org) Some very funny stickers for correcting lousy design choices. I could totally use these at work.
DC's Full Coverage! (Comic Book Resources) A cover collection from the month (Dec 01) when every DC book worked the title into the cover art. Most are very nice stuff.
Disney's "The Aristocats" ... The Animated Series ?! (Jim Hill Media) Holy crap! You have got to see the character designs for a proposed 2003 Aristocat TV series. I know it's pretty damned non-creative to just age the kittens to teens and call it a day... but damn are they a cute bunch.
The Brain Age Guy: If you want money, go out and earn it. (8 Asians) Dr. Kawashima, as Nintendo's inspiration and consultant on the hit Brain Age series, has made millions from the arrangement... and he gives it ALL to his university.
"My hobby is work," he said. "Everyone in my family is mad at me but I tell them that if they want money, go out and earn it."
And they say Brain Age isn't hardcore.
