You can request any size and I'll make sure it's at least 150dpi (minimum requirement for most printers) in that size.

I'm saving up before my wedding, so I decided to open up for art commissions. It's digital only, for now. If you're interested, send me a request via art (at) kristinsson.dk Request don't have to be adventure game characters. Can be a president, a fictional person, a friend/loved one, a Pokémon or even yourself! If you fancy helping me spread the word, retweets on my tweet of this would be much appreciated.

Did you see the second trailer (not the fan-made edit) that was basically the same but muuuch better edited. I still enjoyed the first trailer, but that second trailer really sold me on it.

Bustin' made you feel good?

We still don't have the app in Denmark, so I can't be blamed if I can't see the Pokémon in my backyard when I mow the lawn. Sorry! I'M SORRY, ALRIGHT! :(

Has already happened, btw.

Maaaaan, Twig. I'm with you on Person of Interest! I remember watching some of the first season and liking it but just sort of quietly forgetting it. Just powered through almost four seasons now, and it's absolutely brilliant. So much good stuff.

As soon as I saw that Zelda in-game tablet I immediately assumed the same thing as the Thumbs, that this was classic Nintendo highlighting a specific hardware thing and that this meant NX had to be have a similar controller. But apparently, Aonuma said Zelda won't have any GamePad functionality at all, aside from off-TV gameplay. The E3 demo had a map on the gamepad but they said this won't be in the final version.

Farewell Mumble server. I only used you once.

Yeah, I'm super pumped about the look of that game. It looks gorgeous. It's the open-ended Zelda 1 sequel I've always dreamed of. I'm 100% sold.

Holy shit, imagine Button Frenzy native Steam Controller support.. All the possible button/trackpad/gyro combinations! Also, can we call the controller the Steamroller?

The Steam Controller update from December mentioned non-Steam game configurations coming soon, so maybe that's added already! http://store.steampowered.com/controller/update/dec15

By the time this podcast ends, the first of the spinoff movie trilogy (barf!) Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be out, so some thoughts on that (even just musings on it without having seen it) in the end could be fun?

Hmm, I feel like the majority of the games are really close ones for me.. There are stompings every once in a while, but most of the time I feel like we're fighting hard to get that last meter of the payload (or defending it at the last meter)

This is great! Only criticism of this first piece is the lighting on the bag looks directionless on the left side of the controller. Under the controller it feels correct, but on the left side you don't really get a feel for the direction of the light.. I don't know if that makes sense. The wrinkles look nice, but they're maybe too defined for the soft overhead light you're going for.

It gets even crazier.

Dear lord!! That's awful.. Makes me happy that the Icelandic ones didn't translate the names.

Totally agree with this. But, that said, I really enjoy watching the result of Blizzard's cinematic team's excellent technical skills and animation, ususally reserved for the house-style gritty, "realistic" stuff, going nuts on a more simple, stylish characters and world. They're obviously having a lot of fun animating the characters (you can tell these guys were just waiting for an opportunity to do all that smearing and squash-and-stretch) and rendering that simple style as beautifully as possible. What a weird choice to make the Soldier 76 short be the one with only one character in it, considering how boring he is.

You could link to the Greenlight page here? Might get you some yes-votes!

The Icelandic version is pretty boring when it comes to the names. For older books the names would always be translated into something more Icelandic. Lord of the Ring's characters almost all have different names (Bilbó Baggi, Smeygur, Fróði, Sómi, Gandálfur)* Harry Potter, however, just has all the same English names. Almost. Anything that's literally just a name isn't translated (Hermione, Harry, Dumbledore) but when characters have nicknames they're translated (Mad-eye Moody becomes Skröggur illaauga, which is Moody Evil-eye) Street names are translated, so Diagon Alley becomes Skástræti (Crooked street) thereby losing the pun. The names of the books are all pretty directly translated, but specifically Deathly Hallows is translated into Treasure of Death. Guess we don't have a word for magical object? Also, the Icelandic version of the cover looks horrible, don't know how this made it through any sort of quality check.. Oh, I came across an article about how difficult it was to translate Harry Potter to Icelandic. *The names of all the dwarves and Gandalf come directly from old Icelandic scripts, so they're the same in the translation..

I read the first book during a sleepover at a friend's house when I was 14 year old (this was 1999, when the Icelandic translation came out). I hadn't really been into books at all, at the time. But my friend recommended it to me (or his mother did, I don't remember) and I was so hooked I stayed up all night reading it. I remember being absolutely mesmerised by the introductory stuff with Hagrid and Diagon Alley. When I finished it I was so excited to find out that the second and third book were already out in English so, feeling comfortable enough in my English at the time, I had my parents order them both and burned through them way too fast. Man, reading the Wikipedia entry, I would've already seen the first movie after reading Goblet of Fire.. That is some intense Harry Potter-ing for a period of my life. When is this podcast out?!
