Of course <\/em>we couldn\u2019t resist but that gives you no reason to look away, dearest readers, as Images of the Week<\/strong> delves right back into the maze of intrigue woven by Dark Maze Studios<\/strong><\/a> of Champaign<\/strong>! This post is primarily an opportunity to let you know the release date for their upcoming sequel, PRESS START 2 CONTINUE<\/strong>, has been pushed back to Friday, March 11<\/strong>, and we still have no word as to whether there will be a public happening in commemoration. Until then, we must make do with the steady flow of modest goodies Ed Glaser<\/strong> and his usual suspects create for us, including a new-ish episode of DEJA VIEW<\/strong> investigating the old-ish Korea <\/strong>produced, Japan <\/strong>styled sci-fi adventure NAMYANG PLANNING\/SAVIOR OF THE EARTH<\/strong>. Surely, any similarities between this 1983 mishmash and the original TRON <\/strong>from 1982 are coincidental:<\/p>\n

The videogame culture parallels sprinkled throughout the PRESS START<\/strong> movies and cartoons are wholeheartedly intentional, of course, although Dark Maze pulls it all together in funny and exciting ways. We\u2019ve admitted before that many allusions rocket right over the Secret MICRO-FILM Headquarters<\/strong> since we\u2019re not even close to being hardcore gamers. (Don\u2019t ask MICRO-FILM<\/strong> Web master Eric Pankoke<\/strong> how many late-night e-mails he\u2019s received asking for his professional opinion on what the Glaser gang is trying to slip by us.) So, will it be insulting if we think more about SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD<\/strong> when we look at the new teaser image of PRESS START ADVENTURES<\/strong> villainess Morgan Le Slay, played in CONTINUE <\/strong>by her voice actress Jane Cox<\/strong>? Observe:<\/p>\n

It must be the electric lavender hair and the leather. Hm<\/em>. Anyway, you can also see recent portraits of the great Peter Davis<\/strong> as returning nogoodnik <\/em>Count Nefarious Vile<\/a> as well as super ninja Lin-Ku (Al Morrison<\/strong>) standing next to a cutie-pie fantasy princess<\/a>. We will guess (correctly) that your humble editor\u2019s digits are not <\/em>on her speed dial.<\/p>\n
