Apparently they must, as I’m fairly certain most modern game designers are using the following palette for 90% of the games they crank out.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://trustygamer.com/tg/home/industry-thoughts/i-miss-color/"&gt;trustygamer&lt;/a&gt; analyzes the loss of vibrant colors in modern videogames.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m inclined to agree; I’d rather have gaudy rainbows spewing all over my television screen than the “realism” that’s becoming a cliche nowadays. Applying a brown filter over everything does not equate to greatness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://blog.ciroduran.com/post/40985787</link><guid>http://blog.ciroduran.com/post/40985787</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:27:41 -0430</pubDate></item><item><title>Tofu creído…eatsleepdraw:I bet tofu has a superiority...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/8P2BjSYJyay7wjiu9zi0c0I9_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tofu creído…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://eatsleepdraw.com/post/40771266/i-bet-tofu-has-a-superiority-complex"&gt;eatsleepdraw&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I bet tofu has a superiority complex&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://blog.ciroduran.com/post/40865366</link><guid>http://blog.ciroduran.com/post/40865366</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:58:36 -0430</pubDate></item><item><title>tuneage:The Rumble Strips - “Girls and Boys In Love”This is...</title><description>&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://blog.ciroduran.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/40847164/uuF4wghRKayzp0asMxLFD2gP&amp;color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://tuneage.tumblr.com/post/40838292/the-rumble-strips-girls-and-boys-in-love"&gt;tuneage&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/rumblestripsuk"&gt;The Rumble Strips&lt;/a&gt; - “Girls and Boys In Love”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is one of those songs that after you’ve heard it once, you will recognize it instantly within five seconds of hearing it again. The bum bum da da dum bum bum da da dum (roughly translated) is so infectious it will sear itself into your brain. Fortunately the song is splendid piece of Britpop so this isn’t a bad thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s upbeat without being bubblegummy and sounds happy without actually being so.  It’s off their debut album &lt;i&gt;Girls and Weather&lt;/i&gt;, which has already been released in the UK and will be &lt;a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/50761-the-rumble-strips-bring-debut-album-to-us"&gt;released stateside August 5th&lt;/a&gt;.

Wall-E is an adorable movie, yes, but it’s so adorable that when it’s done, your date won’t be thinking about you — they’ll be thinking about seeing Wall-E again.
