Oh, you want vocals? Tekken Ball has a high school musical! It’s in Taiko no Tatsujin too.

New Games From Columbus
I’ve updated the Bakamo Studios site with a new post about three locally developed games that could use some hype right now. While you’re waiting for Evo 2014 Championship Series to start, why not watch these trailers?
Lemma – first-person parkour playground
Breaking Block – polished creative Arkanoid-like
Hatch-It! – cute ice physics puzzle

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 19: Cover of music by a different artist (Robin Beanland and Mark Betteridge) From Killer Instinct (Xbox One, 2013)
Maya’s already catchy Killer Instinct 2 theme got a big EDM upgrade. This criminally overlooked reboot stayed Xbox One-exclusive too long.

Drop Rate – "Donut Land" by Hitstun
Drop Rate has this super nice dude who plays Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 custom parks and some indie games. He has a knack for finding cool stuff, and he found my PS4 park, Donut Land! Um...I think I broke him. Sorry.

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 10: RPG battle music From Mega Man Battle Network 6 (GBA, 2005)
I’m actually playing Battle Network 1 right now. I passed up Battle Network when it was new because it wasn’t the new Mega Man platformer I wanted. Today, its unique battle system really stands out.

Chon
Is it my turn yet? I think we all could use something relaxing. Chon is an instrumental band that plays math-rock riffs like Dysrhythmia, but they’re…chill. They’re even cool enough to post an entire album on YouTube, so dig right in.

"Weird Al" Yankovic – Word Crimes
“Weird Al” Yankovic is fed up with your misspelled and misused words. It’s not that hard, people. Even on phones, keyboards like Swype make it easy enough to use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. There’s plenty of red pen in this video, but this is the first time since high school that I’ve seen a sentence diagram. I heard this song at RiffTrax Live’s screening of The Room, a legendary bad movie that commits crimes against words, storytelling, logic, anatomy, and football.

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 30: Credits music From Kirby Super Star (SNES, 1996)
Our journey around the gaming universe has come back home. I had fun with this one-game-per-system restriction, and I hope some of you liked my picks. Maybe I’ve inspired someone else to try it? Please use “Super Hard Mode” in your titles if you take my challenge. I’ll be watching…

Shuey's Perfect Clear Study (Phase 2 - Sparta!)
A clean matrix is a happy matrix. In multiplayer Tetris, if you can perfectly clear all the blocks from your screen, it sends your opponent half a screen of garbage. Tetris art guru Shuey shows us that it’s possible to perfect clear with your first ten tetriminos every time. With clever usage of twists, the hold piece, and strategy, you can do it too!

hpknight – Saturday
pixiv is basically the Japanese DeviantArt, full of talented artists I’d never have heard of otherwise. I picked up Udon’s Pixiv Almanac last year at PAX East and I craved more. I’m now subscribed to pixiv Top Weekly – Top 20 which gives a good balance of quality and quantity. Other pixiv feeds are available at PixivRss. If people like this post, I may do some more like this in the future.
You can click each image below to visit its posting on pixiv. If you register an account there, you can download the full resolution image. Also, this is a good time to remind you that I write mouseover text for almost every image on this blog, which you can see whether you’re on my site or reading my RSS feed.
(This post and the four before it were all one post over on my old blog. Tumblr doesn’t support mouseover text, so I’ve copied those over as plain text for each image’s post.)
That sky is pretty! I use this as the wallpaper for my Grub menu to choose which OS to boot into. I think I was actually linked to this one by a Tumblr blog I followed, but I forget which one. Sorry.
UPDATE: Added Google Translate-based guesses for all titles and usernames to bring this more in line with my other pixiv posts

The Game Boy, a hardware autopsy - Part 1: the CPU
The humble Nintendo Game Boy had a low price and long battery life thanks to its cheap low-powered parts. JackTech is breaking down the Game Boy into pieces to show us exactly what each component can do. The Z80’s bare-bones instruction set made it a pain to code even basic tasks in assembly. That’s why I did all my old TI-83 games in BASIC.
