    These paintings of contemporary Moscow are stunning in their realism, but what do they have to do with the apocalypse or science fiction? O_o #metro2033

    @ParryLost: The game is based on the Russian science fiction novel "Metro 2033", a rather dystopian post-apocalyptic underground adventure in the depths of the Moscow metro. Don't know if the book will come out in English as well #metro2033

    There's a trailer for this on Xbox Live. It tells you next to nothing about the gameplay, but does a great job of setting up the mood. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

    Also, notice how it's post-apocalyptic but doesn't limit the pallet to brown and gray? That's all I want, some grace notes of color, some contrast. Usually when I mention this, the reply is something like, "It's the apocalypse! I guess you want it to be all rainbows and kittens?" (no offense temporal sword). Granted that's only concept art, and it's hard to tell how the actual game's going to look.

    Oh hey, Peaches, good to see that your music is still around...

    You guys think that's a stupid song, try listening to "Two Guys for Every Girl" or "Rock the Shocker". Yes, I actually know her songs. No, I don't know why.
