PHIL FISH GOES APE SHIT ON TWITTER; ‘FEZ II’ is now CANCELLED.
Thought you could live a relatively quiet Saturday on the Interwebs, friends? Wrong-o, brolo. Especially if you’re Phil Fish. The aforementioned lad is the divisive creator of Fez, and he had a good round of the Going Ape Shit Status today on Twitter. Not much later after going atomic, it was announced that Fez II had been cancelled.
Hit the jump to behold the madness.
BLANKA BOYZ EPISODE 3: Phil Fish ain’t a dick, he made FEZ!
Ohhhhh, shit. The Faux Bot has fluttered down from his feces-covered throne (a fair sign of cultural supremacy in a local Dimension) and gifted us with the third episode of Blanka Boyz. Easily my favorite one yet, we get a gleaming look into the internal monologue of Phil Fish. I laughed. I cried. Then I laughed again at Phil Fish’s sideburns. Not only that, but there’s a review for The Swapper, what I think is the Taliban, and of course Mike Haggar.
Monday Morning Commute: Beyond the Grave
Jambo!
After being dead for ten months, it feels amazing to walk the Earth again. To feel the carpet beneath my toes, to bear hug loved ones, to booze in the fellowship of my ka-tet. These are the moments that the universe is pushing us towards, the acknowledgment of those simple pleasures that can only be appreciated when our spirits and minds are where they’re supposed to be.
`Cause let me tell ya, there’s nothing worse than being a poltergeist. I’ve been there. Roaming about, looking for a place to say, nothing more than a broken spirit relegated to brief appearances and disruptive dispositions. I’ve been that figure that people’re surprised to see, and not always pleasantly so.
It might be a perfect way to be dead, but it’s no way to live.

Welcome to the Monday Morning Commute! I’m going to show you some of the various ways I’ll be entertainin’ myself during the week. After scoping out my wares, it’s your task to make your presence known in the rumble pit known as the comments section. What movies, comics, beverages, albums, and activities are you lookin’ forward to rockin’?
Let’s do this!
FEZ: Perspective-shift yourself back to childhood
Being a game steeped in perspective puzzles, hidden codes, Escher-like architecture and a distinct lack of anything resembling sign-posting: Fez is not short on a challenge or two. However, after exploring its shifting dimensions and succumbing to its intoxicating charms I have found that the most difficult challenge it poses is in asking you to define your experience. It’s difficult to be concise about a game that is so sprawling and labyrinthine. Watch me as I fail.
