Welcome to Sunday Sundries: a regular feature in which we try to compensate for our shameful lack of updates with a few links and videos. Tips appreciated!

You, Me & the Cubes
Here’s the trailer for the English language version of Kenji Eno's new game, You, Me & the Cubes. It’s all Eno: game design, art and audio. You can tell this is the same Eno who did art and audio for Newtonica – there’s the same minimalism; even the same red-and-blue colour scheme.

Newtonica aside, You, Me & the Cubes is Kenji Eno's first game in ten years, since D2 in 1999. It's interesting to see the effect of a decade's worth of more 'real world' jobs, and personal and artistic growth.

Dying is Easy, Comedy is Hard
Hit Self-Destruct is a game blog that I like a whole lot – and posts like this one are the reason why. Duncan Fyfe's writing is crisp, concise, and crackles with insight. Videogame bloggers have a tendency to beat their points to death, using several thousand words when a few hundred would suffice. Fyfe does the opposite: even when his posts are long, they're never longer than they need to be. That's because he's a confident writer who trusts in the intelligence of his audience. In that regard, Hit Self-Destruct reminds me distinctly of Magical Wasteland – another blog of which I'm very fond.

Oh, hey, speaking of blogs, here's a special note for Destructoid's Jim Sterling: I saw what you wrote about us, Jim. I saw how you accused Patrick and I of being monocle-popping snoots too removed from our readers to understand what they want. Yes, I know you didn't say that directly, but I can read between the lines, Jim. First you butter us up by saying we're "hilarious" and then you stick in the knife.

Well, that's fine. You go ahead and enjoy those nasty insinuations, Jim. You won't think they're so great when some anonymous internet vigilante sends you a poisonous spider in the post. See how snide you are then.

(On an unrelated note: please email me your home address.)

The Lifecycle of the Mysterious Manjuu
Instead of telling you about all these cool things Derek Yu does on a weekly basis, how about I just link you to his Twitter feed now and cut out the middleman? Sound good? Okay, good.

Speaking of Lifecycles and Dying…
…excellent videogame blog 61 Frames Per Second is shutting down! This is a big shame: 61FPS was an enjoyable blog with a unique voice that deserved more attention than it received. Patrick especially likes it – partly because he admires in John Constantine the beard he can never grow, but mostly because it is (or was) an intelligent and often insightful read. Oh well. On the bright side, the archives are going to remain online, and many of the contributors will continue to write for other outlets, so it's not a total loss. Still sucks, though.

THIS IS JUST IN: Hot on the heels of its decision to sue Double Fine out of petty spite, Activision has announced plans to adopt disgraced former angel Satan as official company mascot and spokesperson. "We feel The Lord of Evil really embodies the core values of our brand," says Activision VP of Lies, Claudia Scumbag.
