Re: Rumour: Concept Work from Former Next Level Games Artist Shows a Certain Bounty Hunter

From personal experience doing concept art for student projects:
A lot of concept artists are of course heavily inspired by the video games they love, so he probably did this as a personal portfolio piece almost liken to that of a fan art piece, just so he could add it to his portfolio. If he is looking to get hired he can't show a portfolio of "unannounced projects" so he probably had to make some "theoretical" concepts just to show his skill, as he probably is not allowed to show most of his work.

Re: Nintendo Confirms amiibo Launch Range of 12 Figurines

You guys this is a FAIR PRICE:
argument:
Have you ever seen the prices of anime figurines (aka Nendoroids?) they are crazy expensive, about $40 each.

I saw the Amiibos in person and have to say they are beautifully made, and very high quality. I am comfortable paying $13. Probably will get about 3 to start out with. If you guys are the type to have to buy all of them well sorry but thats how they get you! Its not about spending $200 to buy all of them its about getting your favorite character(s)

@B3ND3R
Exactly! As for the best characters in smash, its all up to Sakurai, who loves kirby and kid icarus, as well as being a huge fan of metroid series. So obviously those characters are going to be fairly good. His bias has always given his characters the upper hand. But seriously the pro players are all talk.

I live in San Diego and waited in line for about 3 and a half hours and didn't get to play the WiiU version. I resorted to cutting (sorry folks) to play the 3DS version, which was sooooo LAGGY that our 2 minute match took about 5 minutes, and was all around a disaster...

But the "hardcore" gamers in line were priceless. "They better have fox's 1 frame shine!...etc." and they didn't even own a wii u or 3ds so i didn't really understand why they would wait in line in the first place.

Re: Video: Musician Lindsey Stirling Dresses Up As Aurora From Child Of Light, Because Why Not?

Wow I'm kinda surprised by all the hate for Lindsey Sterling! Although I could see some people not enjoying it, I always find the exotic nature locals to be really fun and and a beautiful backdrop. She does seem to be overly "sugary" and pixie-ish, but it doesn't bother me.
She seems to have a lot of fans, her album was #1 on iTunes in the US when it came out a few weeks ago. I love how people equate being successful in the entertainment industry to selling out. They kinda go hand in hand.
