Here’s a bit of surrealism (or an acid flashback) for your Monday evening: the fine folks over at Bitmobhave dug upa short making-of documentary for Shiny Entertainment’sEarthworm Jim. Depending on your ability to tolerate everything gnarly about the 90’s condensed into six minutes, it might be a little hard to watch. It’s like theChien andalouof our time.
If you can get past the quick cuts, the neon, and the bad clothes, the video (below the fold) is acutally kind of interesting. There are some tidbits about how Shiny used to pick its employees, howEWJwas animated, and the process of creating multi-platform games (which wasn’t really standard back then).
WithEWJon the PSPcancelled, andno new informationonEWJ 4, I don’t get enough chances to boast aboutEarthworm Jim, so I’ll take this chance to shout it from the rooftops:Earthworm Jimis one of my favorite franchises of all time, and if you disagree, you’ll die poor and lonely.
