[dc]T[/dc]oday on the Friday Six: pinball, mini-comics, LASERS, owl handling, TMNT comics, and more.
And seven is RIGHT OUT
[ ] I’m a fan of pinball, and I downloaded a couple of video pinball games this week: Zen Pinball 2 and Pinball Arcade. I’m sure there are pinball purists who cannot abide video pinball, but whatever. I’m a fan—especially of Zen Pinball’s Boba Fett table. Comic pal and self-proclaimed ‘pinhead’ Ryan Claytor recommended I check out Pinball Arcade. It is a neat project—FarSight Studios painstakingly recreated actual pinball games I played over the years.
[ ] Speaking of Ryan, I attended a comic book signing on Wednesday for his latest batch of Comics and Visual Narrative students. Clem’s Comics & Games in downtown Lansing (where I spent Free Comic Book Day) held the signing, and I picked up most of the mini-comics. I look forward to reading them soon.
[ ] ThinkGeek Thing of the Week: Khet 2.0 Laser Game
Pew pew pew! Lasers simulated–DUH. Image via ThinkGeek.
Bounce lasers around a board with mirrors—kinda like the ending of Legend, except it is lasers instead of sunlight and…forget it. No one will get that reference.
This game looks like a bunch of fun—and it has LASERS. I’m a fan of anything with lasers—unless it is a Predator targeting thing on my forehead (there, that’s probably a less obscure reference).
