PAC-MAN: ars gratia artis

Animazement 2010 Report

The 2010 Animazement Hell went over like gangbusters, with a packed house of roughly a thousand folks digging on everything we showed...except "The Mashin' of the Christ". Ah well. You can find a complete playlist at the Animazement forums. Kudos to this year's Hell crew: David Smith and new Hellions Cameron Blashka and Chris Cullpepper.
