Showcase: 72 Pins

I've been meaning to do a Showcase entry on 72 Pins ever since they first opened up shop last, what, September or so? Anyway, their deal is this: for $16, you can get a custom NES cartridge printed with demake-style game art (the above are only a small sampling of the catalogue they have available). While I would admittedly kill for an actual 8-bit Silent Hill or Okami game, I applaud them for elevating the cartridge to a bona fide art form. Go buy some stuff from them!

"Videogame Minimalism: Ōkami" by Daniel Bevis

I recently started replaying the PS2 classic Ōkami, a game that I will probably eventually cover in my "Games To Play Before You Die" series. Man, that is one beautiful game... And yet somehow, also one of the most annoying in terms of how it replaces any spoken dialogue with squeaky sound effects, kind of a pixie-on-helium parents-in-Charlie-Brown's-world effect. Is that what we sound like to dogs?! Poor bastards.
