Mass and I had some good lunch game design conversation today. Made a stop by gamestop and bought ‘Trauma Center: Under the Knife’ for Nintendo DS. It’s one of those titles you don’t see that often although the counter guy said they got a restock of 2 copies so that may indicate that Atlus is responding to the demand. Speaking of hard to find (at least for me) DS titles that I got recently:
Bomberman DS Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney
The general lesson seems to be: if you hear a DS game is good and you see it, swoop it yo.
Oh back to the topic, so we’re talking about beatbox which is my music based puzzle game I sent out to a few people and the tracks so far which are named:
I Was a Teenage Mecha (MkII) Luxury Carpet Comparison (bitwise) Siding is Exciting
I’m going for a bit of an abstract techno feel with these tracks but the names are inspired by local Seattle band Minus the Bear who have great song names such as:
Hey! Is that a Ninja up There? Monkey!!!Knife!!!Fight!!! Thanks for the Killer Game of Crisco® Twister I Lost All My Money at the Cock Fights -
I mistakenly said one of their songs was ‘Monkey Monkey!!!Knife!!!Knife!!!Knife!!!’ and for that I’m sorry because I really think that is a much funnier title anyways 
And while I’m at it I might as well thank Ryan Blinsky for introducing Minus the Bear to me.. As well as tons of other awesome music.
