Diddler

Friday, August 29th, 2008

You know that rumour going around about Johnny Depp either showing interest in, or being in talks to play The Riddler in another Batman movie? I think they’re bogus wish-fulfillment fantasies. Nonetheless, I tried drawing him in such a way as how I’d imagine he’d look in a Nolanverse Batman movie.

…Man. It’s like, YES PLEASE.

“We Summon Rock”

Friday, August 29th, 2008

You know what I want?

A Square-Enix rhythm-based music game ala Guitar Hero/Rock Band, where almost all of the songs are comprised of battle music from their RPG’s. “We Summon Rock“. The on-stage virtual rockers in the background would be stylized summon spells from the FF games(Ifrit, Shiva, etc.), and the instruments you could “buy” and customize your Summons with would be based on staple weapons from their games. Cloud’s Buster Sword as a guitar, Black/White Mage staffs as drumsticks, Sora’s keyblade as a Bass, etc.

And instead of being packaged with two of its own hunks of plastic resembling guitars, it would be compatible with GH/RB guitars/drums. Reason being to save on manufacturing costs, as well as the fact that our houses are quickly filling up to the ceiling with plastic toy guitars and drumsets.

It would, however, come packaged with a “keyboard” accessory which could be detached from a stand and be played as a “keytar”. Since to my knowledge very few battle tracks in games like Final Fantasy have vocals, the keyboard/keytar could replace the microphone from the other music-based games.

The track list would feature, but not necessarily be limited to:

  • -All 3 Black Mages albums
  • -Select music from the OCRemix CD: “Voices of the Lifestream
  • -Arranged tracks from Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts.
  • -You know what, throw some Star Ocean in there too. Maybe some Valkyrie Profile for variety.
  • -And the “Jordan”, “Through The Fire And Flames”-style incredibly difficult song would be “Final Battle With Saruin!” from Romancing SaGa

I challenge anyone to make a nerdier post than this. I double-dog dare that shit.

As you awake one morning from uneasy dreams you find yourself transformed in your bed into a monstrous clown with a whooping laugh and a delusions of grandeur.

What do you do?
