Your Brain on Video Games

It’s been a while since I decided to actually do a drawing, so I did one.  It kind of morphed into a mixed media project when I started coloring it in and added the image.  This piece is supposed to inspire thoughts about how games are reflected onto ourselves.  And if you let them, how games can become who you are and how you live. 

As for any other symbolism, I will let you decide for yourself what you see in the piece.  I was glad to be able to draw something of worth, and was very pleased with the final result.  Glad I have some peeps to share it with.

On another note, be on the lookout for a new CVGN video.  I plan on reviewing Mega Man 64.  I have the script written up and the video captured, just have to record myself, (my least favorite part).  So be sure to check out www.youtube.com/cleanvideogamenerd sometime in the current week.

Till next time, later peeps!

Brutal Mario

I found something interesting this weekend.  It’s a hack known as Brutal Mario.  It has tons and tons custom bosses, unusual gameplay and interesting puzzles.  Here are some screenshots that I have taken.
