1982_commodore

As a kid I adored my Commodore 64. Games came on tape and could take 45min to load (if you were lucky), but still, I loved it. I’m sure at the time I understood perfectly well what was going on in these games – but looking at them now I don’t know how (I’m still digging the graphics and music though!)

Anyway, Mr. DerSchmu has an excellent archive of longplay videos if you’re interested…

I’ve been away (again), this time type-spotting in the Italian Riviera. Lovely.

Nice bit of old game packaging for the Fairchild Video Entertainment System.

We like Sloths. These friends are from Costa Rica and live in the worlds only Sloth orphanage.

I somehow managed to return from the Cannes Film Festival in one piece – not a vintage year for films – but fun all the same. One bit of design that caught my eye this year was this little press book for the new Godard movie Socialism. We did a bit of work on the poster for the film last year, but this book was art directed by the great man himself. Knowingly understated, quite powerful in it’s simplicity – and arriving with a nice set of little badges! Only made to be given to buyers and press, so you’ll probably need to keep an eye on eBay if you’re after one of these.

Godard has also made a great trailer for the movie – the entire film sped up to 1min7secs. class.

Happy Easter everyone.

I received this rather lovely egg from Mrs La Boca (it’s gone now though).

I’m being kept amused at moment by this little iPhone game Alphabetic. Not really great gameplay, but there’s just something lovely about colourful, rounded type flying about all over the place.
