I talk about videogames and give out discount coupons. You should follow me on Twitter here.
The HARVEYJAMES™ posters are finally shipping! If you preordered one, it's already in the mail. It might even arrive today.
I love how these turned out. This was my first time screen printing posters, and I learned that it's pretty different than dealing with shirts. Luckily David Murray introduced me to Bob and Mike aka Two Rabbits Studios a few months ago. They printed these, and they'll be handling the rest of the series.
I added a gallery below that shows the magic behind the paper. Visual documentation provided by the photographer with the best mustache in LA, Ethan Saks.

I won't be shipping orders from 12/23-1/5. Attract Mode is a one-man operation, and I'll be across the country hanging out with family and friends (Hey Matt!). You can still place orders though! I'll ship everything as soon as I get back.

I'm pretty excited about this new project. HARVEYJAMES™ will be releasing one screen printed poster a month through Attract Mode.
You can preorder the first poster now. There will be an initial run of 50, with no promises of more being printed. So, go get it!
All the posters will correspond with Tim Roger's monthly column on Kotaku. This month's entry is “let's talk about jumping”.

Blink Works created this profile of Alec Holowka & Infinite Ammo as a promotion for the Winnipeg New Media community. It captures a lot of what I think everyone loves about the indie game scene: art, collaboration, rags to riches* success…
I also appreciate the teaser look at Das Cube. Is this coming out soon? It's been in development for ages in “iphone years”.

I just added 3 new products to the shop.
Miniboss T-shirt by SEIBEI — $22
Unicorn Dream Attack - Love Bits — $12
Calvin & Hellen's Bogus Journey Instruction Booklet — $4
The Miniboss t-shirt was designed by David Murray for his t-shirt company, SEIBEI. David is a cool dude, and he's got a lot of talent, so expect more SEIBEI lovin's from Attract Mode in the future.
Love Bits is Unicorn Dream Attack's ode to your heart. It's really good. If you are into chip music, definitely check that one out.
And finally, Calvin & Hellen's Bogus Journey Instruction Booklet is Calvin Wong's ridiculously funny faux instruction booklet for the game he made with Hellen Jo and Derek Yu for Game Over/Continue. It's one of my favorite items in the shop, and it's only $4! Designed, printed, folded and stapled by the loving hands of Calvin himself.

This Saturday, November 7th, in Little Tokyo! DATA BEEZ West Coast Micro Tour show 1 of 4.
This stop includes a chip music workshop at the Japanese American National Museum at 2PM and a live concert next door at the Chop Suey Lounge at 8PM. Both will feature minusbaby, starPause, crashfaster and Trash80 with visuals by Paris and Daniel Rehn.
If you've been waiting to check out Giant Robot's Biennale 2 at JANM, this is the absolute best time to go. Instead of paying the normal $9 museum admission fee, come with flier in hand to get access to the Biennale exhibition, the chip music workshop, AND the concert at Chop Suey all for $5. Learn about chiptunes, play some indie games, enjoy the art and then walk over to Chop Suey for epic chip beatz.
From databeez.com:
Chip music - an avenue of audio and visual exploration for artists choosing to adopt vintage video games as a deliberate, aesthetic choices - has enjoyed enormous success for over a decade on the East coast with world-class events the Blip Festival, Pulsewave and recent newcomer, 8static.
For the first time ever, Data Beez is spreading those same addictive, low-tech sounds across the West. It signals an evolving movement and sets a precedent for the future of chip music on the West Coast.

The show is this Saturday, so I need your help letting people know about it! Spread the word with the web flier and the print flier. (Don't forget to print out the flier to get $4 off admission!)
