I started a Tumblr to track cool/obscurish video game related media... there just wasn't anything available that was quite what I was looking for, and I keep losing my pics to computer-death because I'm too lazy to backup.

Thought it might interest some of y'all. Corny Laugh

Anyone else have a Tumblr or know of cool Tumblrs I can follow?  Mostly interested in interesting and weird media.

Here are the ones I currently follow:

http://peterberkman.tumblr.com - funny shit
http://paraisofriki.tumblr.com - video game stuff (en Español)
http://notch.tumblr.com - Minecraft
http://pixelstyle.tumblr.com - pixel art

The piano program Peter Berkman wrote was pretty sweet.  Well, hello there!

That Brataccas game looks interesting. Also, I never knew Roger Dean designed a video game cover. Great stuff, Derek.  Hand Thumbs Up Left

Thanks! Grin

Roger Dean did a bunch of video game covers for Psygnosis, actually (the most well known probably being Shadow of the Beast).

This is probably the next Dean piece I'll post, from a game called Terrorpods:

Goes to show I'm not that well aware of (home) computer gaming. I was always more of a console person which may have something to do with the fact that my family didn't get a PC until something like 02/03.  :D

Anyway, I'm still really astonished by Brataccas. There's a kind of refined aesthetic sensibility going on that you wouldn't expect to see in a game from the 80s. I might have to download some emulator and try it.  Wink

Yeah, I didn't know either. Just looked it up on Wikipedia and the short answer seems to be "Twitter with Pictures".

True dat. Evil

If you updated more often, I'd follow!  That Road Rash video is awesome.

Yeah, it's like a Twitter-fied blog service.  It's actually a good idea.  I know people hate Twitter because it's popular and people post inane shit, but... that's kinda the whole point of the Information Age, don'cha think?  That's why you can choose who to follow.

Yup. I didn't mean "Twitter with pictures" as a criticism. If this means that I can get a regular-ish, semi-random stream of cool videogame art and dogs that look like people, count me in.

Yes, that Flairs video is incredible. And very, um, French, with all the jokes about shit and sexual harassment. Roll Eyes

I have a tumblr now, thanks to this thread. http://dbb.tumblr.com

It's too early to say whether I'll do much with it. Seems cool, though.

I've loved Tumblr since when I first saw it. It's the perfect mix between insanely easy to use and insanely customizable. Somehow it manages to be both.

I really should start updating my blog more again..
(And consider yourself followed, derek. Your tweets are awesome, and I expect this to be good as well. :D)

I just realized that my "banner" image was taken down by WHFF. I wanted to redesign my tumblr for some while now, so it's presented me with a nice opportunity.
