Miles Fisher - This Must Be The Place (Cover) from Miles Fisher on Vimeo.
It's been a long week of Avatar trailers, but the weekend is finally here. A few Friday afternoon notes:- For my gamer folk out there, if you haven't heard anything about the controversy going on around about Shadow Complex, a game derived from a work written by Orson Scott Card, Christian Nutt of Gamasutra provides a really thoughtful opinion piece summarizing some of the "meta-issues" that arise now that gaming is mature medium. A terrific read.
- Mr. Brandon Boyer of Offworld fame will be visiting San Francisco for the next week. If you want to bask in all of his awesomeness, come join us at the Anamanaguchi show at the DNA Lounge next weekend. Wear a Pikachu-party-hat and we'll know you're looking for us.
- While Amy isn't getting knee-deep in Media Studies again (jealous jealous jealous), she's sending me songs like Miles Fisher's cover of David Byrnes' "This Must Be The Place". The entire music video is a reference to American Psycho, which is fitting since Fisher seems to be Christian Bale's singing clone. Download Fisher's EP here!
Woo! Friday! Awesome video, with a very eerie resemblance. :)
The Shadow Complex issue definitely isn't too simple. Yeah you have the original author will will make some money from this, but I'd imagine the vast majority of the money will go to people who's stances and thoughts you don't know and may actually agree with.
Mind you I played the demo and absolutely HATED the control layout (despite really trying to like it), so it's a moot point for me anyways. ;)
