Best Quote of the Week ~ [5/12/13]

Isolation by Geri Johnstone

          "I'm writing this letter at an outdoor cafe on a side street in Rome, sipping espresso as thick as the devil's sweat, and I have this strange feeling that I'm not myself anymore. It's hard to put into words, but I guess it's like I was fast asleep, and somebody came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again....My eyes tell me I'm the same old me, but something's different from usual. Not that I can clearly recall what 'usual' was."

~Sumire (from Haruki Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart; [Never read the book, so I don't know the chapter or page number])

Flip Shott!! nowe Announced

          Fake World Studios (FWS), based in Denver, Colorado, announces an exciting new card game for the ages! Flip Shott!! Stand-Allen Edition nowe. The president of FWS and lead programmer, Thomas Novak said in an interview that "[Flip Shott!!] eschews modern day graphics that limit today games and instead focuses on delivering on its core gameplay and freedom. I didn't want gamers to play how I wanted them to play, but for them to play how they want to play. Graphics and money..., and money get in the way of that freedom of play." Flip Shott!! has an impressive amount of game modes and customization options allow players to truly play their way.

          The game has apparently been in development for 7 years but has had some trouble through it long development. The game bears a striking resemblance to the Nomuraworks 1978 classic game, Shoy Schot! When confronted on this Novak was quoted as saying, "So should EA sue Activision?" Also, because of its long development the game has undergone a lot of changes which seem to be to the cause of its subpar superb graphics.

          Flip Shott!! Stand-Allen Edition nowe was released two days ago; very strange, seeing as the official announcement was just moments ago. This seems to has been because of undisclosed legal reasons. Anyway, Flip Shott!! is available for download off FWS' game site (fws.flipshott.com/nowe) for $67.94. The game is currently only available for PC, but Novak believes a Mac, iOS, and Android version will be available by the end of the year. He also promises a 'huge' DLC pack this summer. Stay tuned.

UPDATE 1 (4/1/13): The website appears to be down. Check back later. Added Logos.

Best Quote of the Week ~ [2/24/13]

          "Until the image of the black man in the mind of the black man has been changed, there will always be delinquency, parental and juvenile. The idea is not to change the attitude of the white man to the black man but to change the attitude of the black man to himself."
