Awhile back someone made a paintover (embedded above) of what they thought Faith should look like in Mirror’s Edge, that parkouring game that EA’s releasing later this month.  The demo just dropped on PS3 if you’re interested; I think the 360 one drops tomorrow (actually today I guess, it is past midnight here).  There’s been a bunch [...]

I’m currently crunching at work right now, and my brain, it…it has no creativity left in it.  I suppose there’s an entire entry there, how a lack of personal time actually keeps inspiration at an extremely low level, but I’m too tired to write even that.  I’ve been pouring everything I’ve got into some crazy [...]
