Introducing the music of ONCE
File this one under “support your friends”. I’d like to introduce my good pal Lucas Gardiner, aka ONCE. I met Lucas a few years back when we ended up working at the same company and became fast friends. A brother in metal with the same passion for old school video games. And to this day he knows…

Sword & Sworcery + Jim Guthrie
I’m a bit late on this one, or early if you consider the post I did on Toronto’s own Superbrothers 3 years ago (link). Last year they launched their first game for the iPhone and iPad, Sword & Sworcery. The game flew under my radar and was suggested to me via Twitter. After a few seconds…

Measurements of Sound: Volumes 01 – 04
I’m going to change the pace today and post about some music. Other then my tangents about metal, things are normally design-related around these parts but one of my good friends and fellow designer, Ryan Grant has been creating some outstanding podcasts well worth noting.
