Simon Cottee Presents, The Pixel

A new video going around by Simon Cottee, creator of Rule, in which he explains the pixel and what it means for people, or rather what it could mean, alongside interesting points brought up by SiD creator Jason Rohrer, chiptune artist Dot.AY, and Studio Joho.

Keyboard Cat VS. 8-Bit

If you don’t know already, I’m a big fan of the 8-bit pixel guru, Doctor Octoroc, who, partnered with Jude Buffum, decided to make an 8-bit version of the Internet meme, Keyboard Cat, and there is much smiling to be had while and after watching the short clip, which, while not entirely original (There is another version, though not as high quality, and frankly, crappy at best), shows off great and simple 8-bit animation and music by the masterminds behind the small project. You can even download the mp3 for it on “Doc Oc’s” blog!
