GameSetLinkDump: The Shadows Of Your Smile

Delighted to return with a few more GameSetLinks, and there's quite a few fun things in here, with the (pictured) Linger In Shadows PS3 demo educational post somewhat to the fore, hurray.

Also in here - ruminations on the Mother 3 translation, Atari's wacky cool The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity, a disturbing UK Resistance fantasy, a new Mega64 video, and quite a few other things besides.

An amazing race:

Crummy: 'One Bad Mother'
Also see this initial post: overall: 'There's a tendentious video-game logic that says that bad things are caused by people who are evil, and that the evil people do the bidding of a boss, and that if you kill the boss you've solved the problem... if there's one video game that could take a more realistic approach, it would be a Mother game.'

BitFellas: Linger in Shadows PS3
A good guide to the PS3 interactive demo, with links to the demogroups greeted in it in hidden parts.

MTV Multiplayer » ‘Shaun White’ Launch Party - Our Guest Blogger Weighs In
'I’m glad I stayed outside though because I scored an interview with Tila Tequila, Bam Margera, Jesse from “The Bachelor” and many more!' 'Normal' MTV meets MTV Multiplayer, pain ensues.

Nov. 13, 1983: Teen Sets 'Asteroids' Record in 3-Day Marathon
'1983: Fifteen-year-old Scott Safran of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, sets the world record score in the arcade game Asteroids — the longest-standing videogame high score in history.' Neat mini-Kohler piece.

YouTube - Mega64: "SYTEFREEK"
Never non-awesome: 'A video to promote the new Mega64.com.'

UK:RESISTANCE. Not making a difference since 1996: PARTNER REQUIRED FOR ANONYMOUS SUPER MARIO BROS. HOTEL ROOM ANAL SEX FANTASY
Absolutely NSFW, absolutely ridiculous.

A love story between a blogger and a game concept - Tiny Cartridge
On Atari’s The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity - looks v.interesting.

Lost Levels | Technology | guardian.co.uk
Nice music video: 'UK group Lost Levels are hugely influenced by videogame music, and indeed, videogames in general, ploughing an intriguing furrow between indie pop and the US blipcore scene. '

Sore Thumbs: 'A Letter To My Former Co-Workers'
Still annoying, at least to me.

OneSwitch.org.uk blog: Creature Discomforts
The Aardman folks make designs for disability awareness games.
