Art Attack Friday: I Am 8-Bit 2008
August 15, 2008
Last night I was lucky enough to be invited to the opening of this year’s I Am 8-Bit art show in good ol’ Hollywood, California. For anyone not familiar with the show, I Am 8-Bit is a compilation of videogame themed art by a variety of artists. What’s most impressive about the show is that a lot of the artists aren’t even gamers. Once you see how detailed and meaningful some of the pieces are, it is hard to believe they were created by people that have never touched a videogame before.
But don’t take my word for it, check out the below gallery to check everything out. But be prepared: I took a lot of pictures. In fact, I think I got a picture of nearly every single piece on display. This may be the biggest gallery Destructoid has ever seen!
In all honesty, though, I couldn’t help myself. The art is absolutely incredible. As I walked around the large gallery, I was endlessly impressed by how creative and varied everything was. From a modern, nude Princess Peach with a P-wing tattoo to an Elevator Action movie poster, all the artwork was just as beautiful as it was wonderfully random.
Luckily I didn’t spend any money, but I was this close to buying a 0 Chrono Trigger painting. I’m not kidding. Hit the jump to see which painting I am talking about and also for a list of my top 5 favorite pieces.
If you live in the L.A. area you have to check out this free (!) show. It runs until September 7. Click here to find out more about it. And if you happen to purchase something really cool, hey, my birthday is coincidentally next month!
Guitar Hero On Tour Decades screenshots for uh, decades
August 15, 2008

Without much fanfare, Nintendo went ahead and announced Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades at their E3 2008 press conference. Later Activision confirmed it, simply saying — more or less — "Yup, it’s a follow up to Guitar Hero: On Tour for the DS." 
Now we have some new screens, and from what we can tell, it’s going to be Guitar Hero: On Tour with some new songs. Tracks confirmed so far: 
- Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Can’t Stop"
- Paramore - "crushcrushcrush"
- All-American Rejects - "Dirty Little Secret"
- The Darkness - "I Believe in a Thing Called Love"
- Jimmy Eat World - "The Middle"
- Linkin Park - "One Step Closer"
- Foo Fighters - "The Pretender"
- Seether - "Remedy"
- Smashing Pumpkins - "Tarantula"
- Fall Out Boy - "The Take Over, The Break’s Over"
Users of the original On Tour will be able to share songs with those that have the Decades cart as well, though we’re not entirely sure how that’ll work. Our first guess is usually black magic, but that was wrong when we guessed it would be used to facilitate Xbox/Xbox 360 backwards compatibility.
Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades will be available this fall and your fingers will fall off trying to play it.
