READ THIS CAREFULLY!

Here in CDT we are working with Sony Entertainment on their upcoming
release of a very funky game called "LittleBigPlanet". The way this game
works is that players build the world they play in-environment, shelter,
style, clothing. When Sony releases the game, players will be able to
access different pre-built places online. We are going to build a "City
of Parsons" on "LittleBigPlanet", and Sony will feature it on their
online site. THIS IS A BIG DEAL!

To do this we will hold what we call a "24 Hour Jam". Teams of students
(and some faculty) will work 24 hours straight between noon Saturday
Sept 20th and noon Sunday September 21st. Each team will each build
their own "level" on "LittleBigPlanet", and then we will combine them
all to create the "City of Parsons". The team projects created during
the Jam will be judged, and their will be prizes. But mainly, we want
the "City of Parsons" to be a cool place.

We want your help. Form a team. Join in. Can you hack it? This project
is not about whether you play games (most CDT students don't). It's
about making the "City of Parsons" on "LittleBigPlanet" a rocking place,
and truly representative of the crazy stuff coming out of Parsons. You
don't have to commit to much more time than the weekend Jam. We will
hold training sessions soon. THIS IS NOT ABOUT PLAYING GAMES. THIS IS
ABOUT MAKING A WORLD. COME JOIN IN!

This is a very wonderful and strange project, and everyone who
participates will achieve enlightenment!

If you want to form a team for the Jam stop in at the CDT office, or
send team members names to:

"lbp.parsons.jam@gmail.com"

Yo Brian,
I was playing with kids at a language-school called Grayhound today, and there was his kid called Josh who had a father from the US. He was shy about his great english (for a japanese kid)and didnt want to use it at all becouse of that.

Anyway! He looked ALOT like Mini-Bash, about 4 years old and I thought id just check with you if it was actually your son.

Twas a great kid, althou very "lively". (:

Just checking out stuff while at work i love the way your profile say "Brain Ashcraft has no friends" mine says it too maybe we could be buddies (although i can be a bit much sometimes) lmao

you're very welcome! by the way looking forward to checking out your book! already got it bookmarked. will make a nice holiday gift for myself. :D

Hello Mr. Ashcraft!

Just thought I'd stop by to let you know that a poster on 1up completely copied your post on the girl with the 360 drawing that you posted. It's even on the front page at the moment under "Popular Blogs".

[www.1up.com]

Dunno if you would care or not, but yeah.

Keep up the good work!

No worries! Let me know how it is. I'm catching up with the rest of the world on things like Muse right now.

The Verve's new album! How is it? I haven't gotten it yet.

Hey Brian,

Has there been any thought to posting an article/looking into the extreme censorship of the music in Madden 09? I can understand censoring swear-words, but what they have censored is unbelieveable.

It's pretty bad, for example:
- the following words were removed from The Offspring's "Hammerhead" track:

* "guns" from "Camouflage and guns"
* "in arms" from "with my brothers in arms"
* "loaded" from "locked and loaded"
* "shadow of death" from "shadow of death, i fear no evil"
* "my aim" from "my aim is true" - the entire outro!

- the following is censored from the Disturbed track on there. From the chorus:

* "life" from "release your life..."

Apparently, there are quite a few instances of this occurring with non-offensive lyrics throughout many of the tracks.

Doesn't anyone else find this very strange? Or is it just me?? ha.

I am a huge Hayao Myzaki fan (Ghibli in general), and if and when you see Ponyo on a Cliff, i would be greatful to have your oppinion on the film.
Thanks!
