But What If You Want To Shoot A Prostitute In The Face With A Bazooka?

This is a "tech demo" for a videogame that's still in development called The Unfinished Swan. You "shoot paint" in order to navigate your way through the game's labyrinthian monochromatic levels. It is one of the coolest, prettiest thing I have seen in a long time, and I will be so sad when this technology is reappropriated for a bluejeans commercial.

Very niiiice. Right? It's like Sin City, but without all that being the worst!

This was a hit at home, but I was asked to turn down the sound and we just made the cool paint ball noises ourselves.

There was this cool bonus stage in Mario Galaxy where the level only existed when it was wet. Like there were drops of water bouncing around and when they hit the 'ground' it would exist, then when it dried up it wouldn't. Let me find the video...

Oops, I meant to delete 'also'. BUT ALSO, keep watching, later in the video there are search lights that make the world exist. It's neat.

Oh man! I neeeed this game, and I don't even have any sort of gaming system. This game would probably creep me out if it weren't for the incredibly unfrightening popping noises your gun makes. I agree with everyone's sentiments that this is cute as balls. Please file it accordingly.

That wasn't a question! Shit, but now how do I counter your answer? Do you win?
Whatever Gabe, I can still like Sin City, and you can still be the best...barely.

This final statement rules! The Sin City is really looking like a big overdose without a sense where to stop, but this very podcast is quite well-balanced. Thanks for having make it widespread and public.
