Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Start

Hotel Dusk 215

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 has been in my pile of unopened games for a long time. So much fun waiting to be opened. I know there’s some games in the pile that I would enjoy so much, is just that other games always keep me from playing them. The game time on my Nintendo DS has been mostly occupied between Ouedan 2 and Planet Puzzle League, but they have been tossed aside for now. I’ve decide to finally give Hotel Dusk a chance.

Mario Galaxy 120 Stars Get

120 Stars Proof

This morning I woke up with the firm intention of getting the few remaining stars I had left in Super Mario Galaxy to reach the 120 stars goal. Some of them posed a challenge but it never turned into frustration. I had done the purple coins and comet stars as they gradually appeared throughout the game instead of leaving them all for the end. It was the right thing to do. I never felt like they were a chore but more like a test of skill.

Mario Thwomp Papercraft

Thwomp Papercraft

Here’s a thwomp papercraft I made, the download link is just below. The actual model is in color but my printer ink cartridge was empty so I had to print mine in grayscale. I took the thwomps in Super Mario Galaxy as the reference and I think it turned out pretty well. When completed it actually looks and even feels pretty solid if you hold it in you hand.

I would love to see how it turns out in color and with different hands, so please send me some pictures of your thwomps at: prime[at]moreprime.com

Download : Thwomp model (pdf) (right click and selet “Save Link As”)
Notes:

Make a seam with a sharp object on the fold lines, it will help a lot.
Cut the center of the front piece to have room for your fingers.
The spikes are a pain to make but the more you do the easier it gets.
Sticking the backside and the faces should be the last step.
When I was a kid, I always thought they looked like cookies in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Points visits two little video games stores in Tokyo, Meteor and Suteki. My favorite part is the old school game soundtracks on vinyl, that Disco Space Invaders sounds pretty good.

Portal Papercraft

Tubby Paws Portal Papercraft This is a nice easy papercraft rendering in a really cute way the, using Tubbypaws terminology, “magic doors” of Portal. While you’re at it you can draw hearts on the cubes and you’ll get some weighted companion cube in the scene for extra coolness. If you haven’t played portal yet, please do so, it’s one of my favorite games this year and it comes part of The Orange Box which must be the deal of the decade.

Make sure you also take a look at the Silent Hill 2 papercraft for more awesome cute paper models.

Phantom Hourglass Stylus

Phantom Hourglass Feather Pen Stylus

Finally received my feather pen stylus, you could get one by registering The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on the Nintendo website. I’m not sure if the offer is still available, but it’s free so it be worth finding out. Nothing extraordinary here, just transparent plastic with the same kind of tip most stylus have, but I still nice to have.

In Japan they have Club Nintendo where you can get tones of stuff with points you gain registering products, it would be nice to get the same thing here but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anytime soon. So let’s hope this kind of promotion end up happing more often.

Gamma 256 took place on November 28th here in Montreal at the Société des arts techonoligues (SAT). Unfortunately I wasn’t able to stay for long since I had other commitments to attend to, but I enjoyed my time spent there very much.

Mario Galaxy: 33 Stars

Buoy Base Galaxy

I don’t like drifting away too much off Team Fortress 2, I’m afraid my skill is going to start to diminish and I won’t be able to be competitive when I’ll get back to it. But Super Mario Galaxy is just so great, right now it is getting all of my gaming time. Mass Effect is just around the corner too, oh boy this is a great time to be a gamer, I just wish there was a little bit more spacing between these great releases.
