“the name's 12... MK12”

In 2003 I blogged about Ultralove Ninja, a song and video which became a point of obsession for me. It's James Bond sexy spy riffs mashing suggestively against ninja magic and kitschy, smooth computer graphics just overwhelmed me. I've still got the remixes from their promotional site on my iPod.

The other day the wife and I watched the newest Bond movie: Quantum of Solace; I was utterly stoked to see the opening credits attributed to MK12. This is like the kid that grows up doing backyard wrestling moves on a 16mm camera getting their debut in the WWE. And it's fantastic:

Using Virtual/Physical Locations, mispeled wants to turn you all into LARPers in an Augmented Reality game. Sign me up. I've been interested in this kind of game for the past few years: instead of making a cellphone game which uses the limited hardware of a cellphone to emulate the kind of play common in front of a TV set, why not use the features of the handset more robustly. They've all got communication ability with some kind of network, they all have microphones, most of them have cameras... why are they all striving to be an ancient Super Nintendo with painfully inappropriate controller layout instead of embracing the broader range of their technology?

I've always assumed the reason is the limited demographic size of any one handheld layout, and prohibitive development costs to accommodate the hardware, coupled with the "gatekeeper" nature of the telecoms keeping so much of the financial pie to themselves that it was just prohibitive. With the iPhone's ubiquity, there's a largely standardized platform, and getting the app onto it is as simple as using the iTunes Music Store. I hope mispeled gets their game soon. (slashdot)

Though I warn you, nothing from Les Mis should ever be listened to at work, unless you have a weeping-friendly work environment.

How to Retire an Andy | eHow.com:

• Start out each day by dialing for a businesslike and professional attitude on your Penfield.
• Always review your poop sheets.
• Keep informed about the newest model of android, and what they're capable of.
• Never laser a human by mistake.
• Never become emotionally or romantically involved with an andy. It's illegal and you may develop empathic feelings for it.

Thanks, TimX; I'm particularly enjoying the glib tone of "Things you'll need"...

Take that.

My friend, Chris Sturgill has a real paper-and-ink comic coming out: egg. It looks good, so buy a copy. Chris was a fantastic artist on my Joust remake team at Midway Games West (old Atari: holler out, yo.), and is currently avoiding me on Xbox Live for projects like this. ;-)
