Wake the kids, phone the neighbors, the new loonygames is off and running. Here's the schedule for the coming week:

Oy, my back. Hey, is that issue twenty six? Go figure. Whining this week:

• - Two Programs, Two Dimensions: Rick Grossenbacher, a professional 2D game artist, and graphic designer teaches this tutorial on using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create seamless 2D game artwork. [Monday]
• - From the Mouth of Madness: Jason "loonyboi" Bergman gives his list of the most overrated games of all time. From Zelda 64 to Myst, to Rampage? [Monday]
• - Guest Editorial: Russian developer Sergei Klimov gives his account of the ups and downs of the Russian game industry, and the development of his still in production RTS/RPG title. [Thursday]
• PLUS: Whole bags of User Friendly [DAILY], Penny Arcade does FFVIII...or at least tries to [Wednesday], a look at Fallout 2 in Pixel Obscura [Tuesday], a dual review of Fallout 1 *and* 2 in The Top Shelf plus lots more! And then some more, because we just kick it that way, dammit.
• Note: This issue of loonygames is dedicated to the living memory of Gene Siskel (1946 - 1999).
