FX Magazine

I love art. I love Star Wars. I really love free stuff. There’s a good chance you do as well. Here’s how to get your very own Star Wars-themed copy of ImagineFX, the magazine for fantasy and sci-fi digital art.

If you’ve upgraded your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to the latest iOS 5, you have access to Apple’s Newsstand app which gives you instant access to thousands of periodicals. Launch the app on your device and head to the store section. Search for “ImagineFX” and get their free magazine app. (Alternatively, you can go to the iTunes Store and do the same thing.) After you’ve installed the ImagineFX app, you can go to their store of back issues to download a bunch of recent magazines for $6.99 each.

To celebrate the launch of Newstand, you can also grab their October 2011 issue free for a limited time. This is the impressive, Star Wars-themed issue filled with great visuals from the legendary franchise. There’s even a tutorial that teaches you how to draw a very menacing Darth Maul.

There’s no telling how long this offer will last so download it today.

Instagram Roundup: The Muppets

Instagram Roundup

It’s Muppet Week here on Top Hat Sasquatch and I thought it would be a great time to publish the second installation in our series of Instagram Roundups since everyone around the world is getting excited about The Muppets again.

I’m sure there will be plenty more images of The Muppets showing up after this week when the new movie comes out. I know my followers will probably be tired of seeing my Muppet-related images in their feed, but that’s the risk you take when you follow me.

Have any ideas for the next Instagram Roundup? Tag your photo #TopHatSasquatch and we’ll see it!

Today’s Instagram Roundup featured photos by junelims, secretlyloud, real_robnice, atgera, npyskater, leocke, kelan18, _wizlosophy, and me, tommyday.

Top Hat Sasquatch Buttons!

Buttons!

This week I got a mystery package in the mail from SpaceMonkeyX himself, Rob Lammle. I wasn’t sure what was inside, but I was pleasantly surprised to find some awesome buttons featuring our mascot! It turns out that Rob’s crafty wife Andrea made them herself, and they turned out great. I’ll be ordering more from her soon, so if you’d like your very own Top Hat Sasquatch button, stay tuned!

Site Update: There will be some exciting changes to the site next week, as well as a very cool interview coming up on Bubble Pipe Theater, so stay tuned for that too!

Welcome to Top Hat Sasquatch, formerly called Saturday Morning Central. Things have been pretty quiet around here lately, but as of today, we’re ready to kick the site into high gear. You’ll notice we now have an amazing illustration in our header by the awesome Alex Deligiannis. Besides the new design, we’re excited to start posting fun and geeky content again as well as getting the podcast started, which is called Bubble Pipe Theater.

Now would be a good time to follow us on Twitter, subscribe to our RSS feed, and keep an eye out. Things are going to get interesting around here!

The Evolution of Controllers Poster

Pop Chart Lab's The Evolution of Controllers

Video games have changed quite a bit over the years. Graphics have gotten from blocky to photo-realistic. The device used to control the on-screen action has changed quite a bit as well. Pop Chart Lab chronicles the game controller advances from 1972 to 2010 in poster form.

The sticks-and-buttons controllers introduced in the ’70s have given way to motion-based devices like the Wii remote and PlayStation Move. Pop Chart Lab’s design is tremendous but I’d like to see at least a nod to the latest evolution—the controller-less Xbox Kinect.

Slide on over to PCL to see the full poster and buy your own 24 x 36″ copy.
