Listening to industrial music on a Mr. Saturn WinAmp... *very* odd combo.

If I knew how to make a WinAmp skin, I'd make one waaaaay Saturn-y-er than this one.

Of course, I could never improve on this guy's idea for the equalizer window. That is the coolest equalizer EVER.

Ding!

Yeah, but I have actual PICTURES... sprites are all fine and good, and I LOVED EarthBound... but the graphics weren't all that great.

I loved the graphics! that was part of the charm.

[napoleonherself.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Adorably pixeltastic. Although it does make them a bit difficult to resize past a certain point, but eh.

For the game--the EarthBound graphics were excellent. They were simple, they were goofy and quirky, and they fit the mood perfectly. But for anything outside of EarthBound, they're not that good at all. Take them outside of the game, they're not part of the silly atmosphere anymore--they're just bad graphics.

And besides... Winamps don't look as pretty if they're just plastered with sprites.

I dunno. Something.

[napoleonherself.livejournal.com]

Something indeed.

Pfffftt. The graphics just look... bad, by themselves. NES-bad. I'd much rather see the clay models of Mr. Saturn (or better yet, screenshots from Super Smash Brothers Melee :D) than their SNES sprites. Not as the whole winamp; anyway... the sprites would make excellent buttons and the equalizer IS sweet on the old one. But I think actual pictures like I just mentioned would be better for the main image on the Winamp.

Geez, I'm as alone here as when I say that "The Mummy Returns" was a terrible, terrible movie.

[napoleonherself.livejournal.com]

I never saw that movie, and I intend to keep it that way.

And I just have a love for the bizarre, which might be why I insist on liking the SNES graphics so much. Although I'd still really really really really like a STUFFED Mr. Saturn...

*owns one*

Er, well, sort of. It was made as a home-ec project by my ex a long time ago. Looks good enough, though; he just sits on my TV.

I've been thinking of making one, but every time I start to ponder it I remember that I need to sew up about a billion snails first. Blech.

[bobcfed08.livejournal.com]

Snails = instant humor.

[napoleonherself.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[bobcfed08.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah! Just like black hats do!

[napoleonherself.livejournal.com]

Er... could you give me an example, perchance?

[chrisxk.livejournal.com]

Cat meows = not funny.
Snail meows = funny.

Ondine gets excited about lettuce = not funny.
Snail in human form gets excited about lettuce = funny.

Need any more? ;P

[napoleonherself.livejournal.com]

That still doesn't explain the black hats, though!

[chrisxk.livejournal.com]

Mr. Saturn kills another Mr. Saturn = not funny.
Mr. Saturn in a black hat = extremely cute.
And the first one actually is pretty funny, come to think of it.

I'm sure I had a point, but it couldn't have been important.

Ahh... I see. Black hat. Gotcha.

*feeds the black hat to a passing zombie*
