James ‘Harvey James‘ Harvey catalogs the women of Leisure Suit Larry in a baaasically kind of SFW gallery, to prove that the games “embody the worst excesses of late 80s / early 90s design.”
He adds: “There is a seriously ugly and amazing coffee table art book dying to be made out of this.”

I will be straight up damned if Michelle Rheaume’s crocheted Mushroom Kingdom-onians aren’t the cutest Mario home-crafted toys I’ve ever seen. Patterns and completed custom figures are available via her Etsy account (the Tanooki Mario has since been sold), and you can see more sold-out items on her Flickr, which I’ll bet you she’d be happy to craft on request.

Currently making the rounds is Technology Review’s look at “five futuristic interfaces” on display at SIGGRAPH 2009 (including a few previously featured on Offworld), but more immediately commercialized is the one above: Sony’s EyePet, due out this holiday for PS3 and recently captured live by Engadget.
Though its Monchichi-esque design has never quite struck a chord with me, the interface to X-ray peer directly into his little body suddenly did, and now I’m officially sold. [via Augmentify]

Dean Dodrill’s Dust: An Elysian Tail — in development for Microsoft’s Dream Build Play XNA Game Studio contest (which closes submissions today) — has learned its 2D brawler lessons well, and is easily one of the most techno/visually stunning showings to come out of a single-man studio (Dodrill’s done “programming, writing, artwork, and sound effects/voices”, and left only the music to friends).
See his site for updates on the game, and on the related film version he’s working on as well. [via Christian Nutt]

Not to be outdone by Alex Wiltshire’s recent chroma-smeared set of Wipeout HD shots, Duncan Harris ups the photo-pugilism by again taking to Fallout 3‘s Wasteland — this time its newly released Mothership Zeta DLC — and returning with this abstracted “vulgar display of firepower“.

As you may have spotted via his American Elf site, Offworld’s Monster Mii and Superf*ckers Review creator James Kochalka has just released his latest Superstar album, Digital Elf, this time with a twist: all 15 songs were composed and performed on his Game Boy Advance in Nanoloop.
This isn’t quite your usual chiptune affair, though: if you recall his Offworld-original sexy holiday song for Monster Mii Zex, or his Superf*ckers theme song, you’ll know exactly what to expect.
The Digital Elf album’s just gone up for sale exclusively at Burlington, VT’s Pure Pop, and Kochalka’s sent over one track — the brilliantly self-mythologizing Robot Shark — for your preview perusal below.

Follow all of Kochalka’s exploits and find links to his comics and anthologies at AmericanElf.com, hear more 8-bit Kochalka with this sloopygoop remix, The Golden Booger (!), and see more live music performances from Giant Robot’s recent exhibition.
