Random Art: Dream Theater, Open For Business…

from a nap...

While output in terms of posts have slowed here (temporarily!), my brain has been a bit jumpy with all sorts of ideas. Some of them come out as art, so you get to do less reading in this post and more “What the…” with your eyeballs. Well, at least with that piece above. That was from a weird nap earlier today.

Enjoy!

I liked what I played on the two occasions I got some hands on time, so I know I’ll enjoy the final version warts and all. I’m more of a story guy than a back of the box bullet point person, so I’m in this for the whole package, not just seeing if the game is as good as other games released this year or whenever.
