RIP Bobby Prince. this 1993 clip of him explaining the Commander Keen menu music is amazing. worth a watch even if you don't give a rip about Keen. source link below.

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

The last traces of Illucia.

Illucia video now up! We delve into the now almost totally lost world of online "Final Fantasy Town" websites; personal projects built around the concept of a clickable 16-bit JRPG town. We talk to some former mayors and dredge up some ancient screenshots of "Illucia", the genesis of the concept.

Imagine the modern NFL letting a new Madden get away with the ambulance carving a bloody path across the astroturf anytime someone is injured.

stumbled upon negpy (github.com/marcinz606/N...) and i've gotta say: this is almost effortlessly getting the results that have been eluding me while fighting with darktable and negadoctor for just about a year. lucky 200, april #filmphotography #35mm #believeinfilm

GODZILLA 2: WAR OF THE MONSTERS TOHO CO., LTD. 1992 NES

they opened a japanese bakery a few minutes from my apartment which is nice for the come down on my return, and I get it, differences in wages and cost of living and all that, but also: $7.50 curry pan??? $9 for a sausage roll???

MEGA MAN 2 CAPCOM 1988 NES

home again, unfortunately. shot 21 rolls of film over the last two weeks in japan. sometimes this hobby seems affordable until i go to the lab after a trip like this.

Happy Black Helicopter Day to all who celebrate.
