My friend, Desirée showed me this, and while I may be a tad late to the party, how awesome does this look? An RPG for the PS3 with artwork/animation by Studio Ghibli!

With great filmmakers and videogame designers combining into the same job, we are about to see a whole new era of game design.

I bet one day there will be movies like LAN parties where everyone is playing with the movie.

Ten-Minute Art School Bullshit

“There is no one right answer. Reality is ambiguous. Aristotle said it is either A or not-A. It cannot be both. The sky is either blue or not blue. This is black and white thinking as the sky is a billion different shades of blue. A beam of light is either a wave or not a wave (A or not-A). Physicists discovered that light can be either a wave or particle depending on the viewpoint of the observer. The only certainty in life is uncertainty. When trying to get ideas,  do not censor or evaluate them as they occur. Nothing kills creativity faster than self-censorship of ideas while generating them. Think of all your ideas as possibilities and generate as many as you can before you decide which ones to select. The world is not black or white. It is grey.”

This except is from Ten-Minute Art School Course (Tumblr link) which has close to a thousand reblogs/likes whatever. It has some nice open-mindedness concept for people who’ve never had an original thought in their entire life, but at least half of this article is almost entirely hogwash. Garbage. Complete nonsense. It basically says how everyone is right because there is no wrong answer to anything because everything is subjective.This type of thinking is the destruction of civilization. When we eliminate right and wrong, I’m not talking about eliminating ethics here (which is quite important on it’s own), but ELIMINATING LOGIC. There IS such thing as correct and incorrect, and not everyone’s opinion is valid.

How the article reveals it’s own self-contradiction SO badly is by this excerpt I removed. It quotes Aristotle, and one of his biggest key principles: “A is A”. The summation of this principle is that logic is the only real truth. Logic is the discerning of reality by objective means: that up is up, down is down, we are humans, we are mortal, death is irreversible and if you try to earn something without working for it, the world will balance itself out and you’ll fall right off the edge, which is my own paraphrasing (albiet not a very a good one).

So here it is, quoting Aristotle, and thenusing his quoteto display the exact opposite of what it’s meaning is, by going ahead and saying “A is A, or A is not A. There is no both. But everything is ambigious.”What the flying fuck.

Please Tumblr, smarten up, and don’t buy this bullshit which is a disgrace to human intelligence.

"No, I never place symbolism in my writing. That would be a self-conscious exercise and self-consciousness is defeating to any creative act."

This a genius quote. I’ve had this thought in my brain for years, but never put it in so many words.

Have you ever heard

The phrase “an authority on [artistic medium]”

Just an FYI, it’s bullshit. Art (music, film, literature) is subjective by nature and critiquing it with intended definition is inane.

Whatever you think is good, is good, to you. And that’s it. Nobody else.

Theo’s Capacity is a fantastic minicomic-turned-graphic-novel about dreams and consciousness.

I read the entire Capacity when I first moved to Orlando, which was about 2 years ago. It was one of the best, if not the best graphic novel I ever read.
