"Don't throw baby Moses in the water!" Bible Adventures for NES can be disturbing #umwconsole

The Baby Moses game story for the Bible Adventures NES allows you to throw baby Moses into the water, and then that's it. The game goes on, but there is no point. Seems like some deep, disturbing existential parable a la Nietszche.

Notice how the graphics seem to be inspired by the Super Mario Bros design.

While cartridge art not inspired, port of Venture for Atari 2600 was #umwconsole

Noir Word Art: Can you see it? #dailycreate #noir106

Inspired by noir, I used image to showcase one of the most prominent cinematic and thematic elements of noir: shadows. This is my take on the word art assignment. http://tdc.ds106.us/tdc1113/

My first Mario Bava film, a strong contender for some #bavaoffice wall space

Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires, the film that inspired Alien whether Ridley Scott acknowledges it or not.

Awesome Stocking Stuffers: The Thing Blu-Ray

Miles has been begging for the next installment of horror, and given he handled Alien like a champ, I think it's time to move to the logical next step: John Carpenter's The Thing. While watching Alien with Miles, Iw as struck by how much Carpenter seems to have been inspired by Alien. Not to mention how much Ridley Scott was inspired by Planet of the Vampires for Alien :)

Triple Troll Wire Epigraph

New assignment for inspired by the Troll Quotes. Take an epigraph from one of the episodes and attribute it to another, related figure. Finally, adorn the quote and author with an image of a third, different character from the series. This way, nothing about your image is correct, and you’re trolling fans of The Wire with all three characters at once.
