Spiromatic!

Many of you likely remember the Spirograph from your childhood. I certainly do, and despite its simple premise, I spent quite a lot of time doodling on paper using a variety of different gears, colors, and pinholes to create “masterful” works of art.

Well, now you can do it all over again with Spiromatic for iPhone! Unfortunately, you can’t overlay one graph on the other (yet? *fingers crossed*), but that doesn’t stop you from making some pretty sweet images that have more than a little nostalgia attached. Check out my gallery below.

Minimalist videogame characters

Infinite Continues recently posted a set of images of video game characters reduced to a handful of shapes and colors. They are rather remarkable and would make excellent iPhone wallpapers, so I will probably be converting several for my iPhone soon.

Infinite Continues is a blog that started similarly to my Classic Gaming Sporadically series, though with (admittedly) more journalistic integrity and less humor. I definitely suggest checking it out, however, as the author makes interesting points about a number of games that I know I missed (due to financial obligations or platform exclusivity) and perhaps you have, as well.
