It was made in 2003 but was never officially translated into English. However earlier this year Zentendo released a fansub of the documentary, which took over a dozen volunteers nearly four years to complete. The documentary takes us from the series' roots on the 8bit Famicom / Nes console up to the 'The Wind Waker' on the Gamecube. A really interesting piece of videogame history and a great insight into Zelda as a cultural phenomenon in Japan and worldwide.

How to draw Manga, Macromedia Flash Techniques
Exactly what it says on the tin, really needed this because my colouring in technique could be a lot better... this book shows how to get beyond flat fills in flash (thats a lot of FL's) and make real professionally coloured, fleshed out flash based illustrations. link

Specialten DVD - Issue 11
A bunch of music videos and some documentaries, packaged in a nicely designed folder/magazine package. A load of different stuff in there. link

Everything Bad Is Good For You
Have just started reading this, basically it's about how instead of dumbing us down, consumer/media culture is making us smarter... link

Uzi Magazine (DVD) - Issue 1 'Tokyo Brainstorm'
Really good, a documentary where some Swedish design heads went to Tokyo and connected with innovators in Japan's graphic / fashion / product / game / film / everything design. Made through still photographs against a great soundtrack and interspersed with lo-rez still cam/mobile phone mpegs, no voiceover is used... the images speak for themselves. link
