level designer and gameplay designer: our friendship is strong. we're not playing your little game

design lead in a Saw mask: oh you can leave anytime, but first you have to agree about what kinds of ramps are allowed in this game

(level designer and gameplay designer look at each other in horror)

replacing the Totenkopf with Fenris... sorry but CNN needs an expert panel of metalheads, industrial music fans, and punks ASAP

this is because I don't like a lot of cheeses. I respect those who do. ricotta in particular is like eating milky clay. not a fan.

any pasta that has as its nature a cheese packed inside of it is useless to me. even pastas that don't hold sauce or anything are fine if I'm eating aglio e olio since the oil will glove to them regardless. if you pass me a bowl of ricotta-stuffed rings I'm going to just eat the sauce on its own.

got a single eat loop animation and a bunch of food shaped world assets? make those bitches edible. got an animation where someone is clapping or something? try it with some props in their hands. made a gravity effect? try flipping it around or putting it in areas full of clutter or outside a wall.

no cool name. minimize single task objects. anything that you make that the team can apply to another purpose will pay dividends down the road. anything that currently exists in a single task state? find something else for it. you'll accidentally make a bunch of fun stuff, I promise.

for the record, I think Ludwig II is very interesting and deeply tragic AND I HAVE JANE JENSEN TO THANK FOR THIS

I've been thinking about this since I saw the footage, and honestly, I'm not upset about the building itself; it's not even our original capital. I just think this whole ballroom thing is stupid and wasteful. it's the tasteless version of the designs that lost Ludwig II the love of his courtiers.

because it's such a small piece of the whole it *must* be gourmet, right?

that is the core of it but everything started from stamps and tarriffs that arose from more granular concerns and we are now entering into the foggy territory that wasn't in Hamilton and thus the average American (such as myself) will have at best foggy recall and at worst none whatsoever

yeah but the thing is our whole vibe seems to be divorcing everything historically what led to our independence and instead pinning everything on that some guy with a crown ever told us what to do, ergo, this

Gypsy Moth, posed to face her boobs and butt towards the camera simultaneously, has ribbons of fabric magically coming from her wrists, while her costume is made of leather straps seemingly painted onto her body, barely concealing anything beyond a PG rating. Her magic ribbons appear to be choking Spiderman. With a wry expression, she declares "MY NAME'S GYPSY MOTH, AND I'M NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS. I CONTROL FABRIC. I'M FIERCE, INDEPENDENT, WIELD MY SEXUALITY LIKE A WEAPON, AND I DON'T RESPECT ANY MAN... YET." Spider-man, choking to death on the ground, pleads to the viewer "Please... Hurk... Tell my wife... Gasp... Something else happened."

A t-shirt design of the character Michelle from Sorry We're Closed in alternative colours than usual. She is surrounded by the silhouettes of items she can collect in the game, organised neatly.

It was tricky trying to work with just 4 colours for the design but I'm happy with how the Michelle one turned out!

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.
