The cinematography and color are beautiful, the acting is top notch, and the slow crank of anxiety and adrenaline kept me hooked. <br /><br />The soundtrack is also great, but they don't give any of the artists credit in the end credits. The first episode contains one of my favorite instrumental songs, "Tamacun", by the guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela.<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/polSjiYQf68&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/polSjiYQf68&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />You can watch a live performance of the song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-qgum7hFXk">here</a>.<br /><br />(AMC/Breaking Bad people, please email me for the address to send my check to)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3032685542073283356-8989410233340692878?l=impendingdoob.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15906621340843026072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3032685542073283356.post-83697076127415715872009-07-07T14:51:00.000-07:002009-07-07T14:54:23.938-07:00<img src="http://www.domystore.com/newarrivals/blog/uploaded_images/coign-720516.gif" border="0" alt="Coign of Vantage" /><br /><br />I got sucked in and lost a bit of time playing <a href="http://www.bobblebrook.com/games/coign-of-vantage">this game</a>.<br /><br />It's called "Coign of Vantage" from Bobblebrook Games. (I had to look it up to see if it was English. It is, and it means "an advantageous position for observation or action")<br /><br />To play, you rotate a 3D field of floating pixels until they line up and form a 2d image. In each level, you must make your pixel field match the target image in the upper right. <br /><br />It's really easy to get into, and the presentation is great.<br /><br /><br />http://www.bobblebrook.com/games/coign-of-vantage<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3032685542073283356-8369707612741571587?l=impendingdoob.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15906621340843026072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3032685542073283356.post-76393790710512864122009-07-07T14:37:00.000-07:002009-07-07T14:45:36.498-07:00<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/45RF7DKYAS8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/45RF7DKYAS8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Found this video today.
