I'm sure we're all well aware of the amazing pixel art exploits of eBoy so I don't need to tell you all how amazing the cityscapes are.

Here's the new Cologne poster and some other random city scenes.

Hard to not to smile while playing through this beautiful and simple puzzle game. Reminds me of a low-tech Katamari Damacy (in a good way) or my all time favorite interactive portfolio design found here.

Thats right! The perfect christmas treat. Sort of. This is the second part of the 'Black Comedy' story and fourth episode in the series.
READ/LOOK AT IT!

Also check out the official website, if you havent already, here!

In other Black Hole news, I've updated the gallery with some more BH graphics for the still yet to be coded Black Hole Game. Do contact me if you think you can help me here, I'm happy to make it a community project!

World of Warcraft developer Blizzard shut down 18,000 accounts a few days ago mostly for selling virtual items or gold for real cash money on sites like eBay.

This is a really interesting move since this type of activity tends to go on in just about every MMORPG and no other developer has really done anything about it.  Did Blizzard do the right thing?

I hope everyone is getting fat on their holiday turkey and other holiday goodies. Pixel Joint wishes everybody a Merry Christmas, not to mention a Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Ramadhan

In the spirit of giving, Blueberry Pie has created a holiday-themed game for you all to try out. It's a penguin-killing good time! Try Xmess today!

And, in case I don't hear from you all before, have yourselves a very safe and happy New Year as well

We plan on rolling out a web chat tool sometime soon where everyone can hang out and chit chat (similar to IRC except through your web browser) and we need some beta testers. All you have to do is play around with it for a bit and report any bugs/performance issues.

If you are interested please PM sedgemonkey or post your interest in the comments section of this news item. Please indicate what internet browser and operating system you use.  Thanks!

This SNL produced day-in-the-life Parnel/Samberg rap about a day out to see The Chronicles of Narnia sums up what an everyday person's rap video might look like. No magnum of champagne pouring over a girl's chest, no grinding in front of the mansion, no million dollar bling -- just straight up life. Great stuff.

Apparently Robin Williams is a big gamer. He's been playing as the sniper class in the ultra-addictive Battlefield 2. Oh, what a joy it would be to plunge a virtual knife into Mork's back.

Robots can officially replace me at work. Those sons of bitches at Honda continue to improve that little rascal Asimo and they've got the video to prove it.  Asimo can now run at 6 km/h, push carts around, receive/carry/drop a tray and his spiffy little "turn on the spot" move is the envy of robots everywhere.
