Finished playing “Singularity” last night. Enjoyed it a lot…cool time manipulation puzzles and weapons.

Haven’t tried multiplayer yet but the campaign was fun. (Actually, I seem to be not playing multiplayer very much these days, and am usually looking for games with good single-player.

Here’s a clip:

That happened tonight when I went to see my kid perform at choir at his middle school. There was a piece sung by the Select Choir that I really liked, and I kept thinking “where have I heard this?” The program said the song was called Suo Gân, and after looking it up online, it turns out it’s a piece that was featured in Spielberg’s film Empire of the Sun, which I had watched not too long ago.

It’s a Welsh lullaby, lyrics here…and here’s a clip from the film:

Finished a new image!

I’m working on a series right now that’s more oriented towards children, as I want to put together a promotional flier with some examples of children’s illustration. This one is called the Frog King:

I’m currently sitting in a hotel room in Canal Winchester, Ohio. I’m a little more than half-way through my trip, which has thus far included hay rides, apple orchards, pumpkin patches, haunted houses, hiking, and lots of Fall color photography.

I’m basically reliving my childhood (I grew up in Worthington, Ohio) and have been meaning for several years now to come back during what is probably my favorite season. I’ve lived out West most of my adult life, and sometimes miss the Fall colors. (Yes, the leaves change color in the Fall everywhere, but it’s just not the same as those vibrant colors back East.)

After I get back to Nevada, I’ll sift through the hundreds of photos I’ve shot and put together a link with photos. For now, I’m still having fun!

Woohoo!

Always good to wrap up another title. And man, a lot of work went into that one. Early reviews have been good, so I’m hoping it does really well this holiday season!

Pretty simple in concept, just a couple of kids at the edge of a spooky forest. I wanted to do a “fairytale” scene on the dark side, so here it is:

I added lots of creepy-crawlies into the woods at various places.

From IMDB: “After more than four hundred years of war between the Shinobi warriors of the Manjidani Koga and Tsubagakure Iga clans, the Lord Hattori Hanzou decrees that they must live in peace. Both clans live hidden in the woods and mountain without confrontation and without training ninjas in the shadow art of Shinobi. In 1614, the Lord of the Lords is convinced that the clans are dangerous threats for keeping peace in his lands, and his advisor plots a Machiavellian plan to destroy their best warriors in a contest. Meanwhile, the young Iga Oboro and Koga Gennesuke fall in love for each other. When Oboro’s grandmother and leader of Iga clan Ogen and Gennesuke’s father and leader of the Koga clan Danjo kill each other, Oboro and Gannesuke must lead their warriors in the ultimate battle of the Shinobi clans.”

Wild fighting techniques and some really beautiful photography. Subtitled.

As if it’s not bad enough that I work with 3 monitors, I recently got the Dell 3008WFP 30″ monitor. I’ve only had it for a week so far, but wrote up a mini-review with pics and added it to the tutorial page at my website.

Check it out the review here.
