I attended the Marvelous press event at Tokyo Game Show last year, and it was terrific and exciting, so I was gonna do a write-up of it, but for whatever reason, that didn't happen. So now I have this leftover video, featuring Vinnk from 4CR, who did a perfectly good write-up of his own that you can read here (and here and here), if you are very interested in news that is several months old.
Vinnk (from the internet) touches the beautiful, soft hair of Shigeto Koyama, 'mechanical' artist for the game No More Heroes.

And there are a couple of articles I've been meaning to link to: Here is Auntie Pixelante sighing about things, and here is our friend Tracey Lien (lately of Good Game) talking about both Flash game Closure and the artwork of Alberto Giacometti. The latter article has only one comment on it so far, which is a bit disappointing, especially since it's mine.
Thanks to Vinnk of 4CR and Rising Stuff, and Justin Smith of being-friends-with-Patrick. Actually, Justin did most of the camera-holdin' at TGS, so close your eyes really hard like "Nyooooooh!" and send him a mental thumbs-up.
I have a couple of things to share with you! “How generous,” you remark, correctly. You may have seen them already if you read all the videogame websites like a common slut, in which case, you need a damn good spanking, don’t you? Yes, yes you have been a naughty girl.
Vinnk over at 4 Color Rebellion recently completed a two-month Wii Fit bodybuilding regimen, so that he would look good shirtless at his wedding. And what do you know, it seems to have worked! Which is odd because didn’t Nintendo say that it doesn’t work? Well whatever, Nintendo! Your product totally works; in your face! Anyhose, you can read Vinnk’s saga in its not-quite-entirety here, and the final entry – the payoff, as it were – here.
Really it’s just an excuse for Vinnk to exhibit himself, and I can guarantee that were it not for editorial restraints, ninety percent of the posts on 4 Color Rebellion would be snapshots of Vinnk’s erect penis.
James “Harvey James” Harvey, with the assistance of the Gamer’s Quarter Rainbow Dream Team, has pieced together this rather perceptive analysis of the ‘character design’ of GlaDOS, the mad computer from oh as if you need to be told. There’s not much I can say about it that the article itself doesn’t say better, so go, read and enjoy! There are pictures!
