For some time now I’ve meant to split out a new category for video/motion graphics pieces that aren’t necessarily at all games-related, but are either games-inspired, or should inspire games. The problem: I can’t think of a hamball obscure-music-referencing metaphorically-stretched name for them. If you’ve got one: leave it in the comments below for consideration!

Anyway: here’s one anyway, which apparently I am wickedly late on — two years later and some 1.3 million YouTube views in — Love Sports pixel animations, from Studio AKA designer Grant Orchard. Above is the YouTube hit Paintballing, but MTV’s Qoob site (the same that hosts LittleBigPlanet artist Rex Crowle’s Grip Wrench series) has nine more, including High Diving below.

All found thanks to Puit Wars creator Florian Hufsky, which should come as no shock if you’ve been keeping an eye on what he’s creating himself.
