Mark Frauenfelkov: eBoy Pixorama book

Original: Link

200811120907 eBoy, those isometric pixel-stackers extraordinaire, have a new art book out called Pixorama . I haven't seen a copy yet, but it looks promising. The inside flap copy says it's about several generations of peculiar medical doctors, whose techniques involve spontaneous combustion, animal magnetism, phrenology, and lobotomies. I'm going to sneak this one higher up on my stack.

200809191506.jpg Porn & Pong: How Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider and other Sexy Games Changed Our Culture , by Damon Brown . This one has a cover by our pal Coop, and was published by our pals at Feral House. Looking forward to reading this one, too. From the jacket copy: When the VCR first became commonly available, and the modern porn industry’s sales skyrocketed, Atari systems, with their phallic joysticks, also seized the American mind. In Porn and Pong , Playboy journalist Damon Brown reveals how these businesses have blossomed, intersected and affected our culture.
