    This video reminds me of the game Grim Fandango!

    @ Justin

    I was thinking the exact same thing! :) Man, that game was so much fun to play. I still own the game so I think I’ll try playing it later!

    I wish sometime in the future I can travel to Mexico just to experience the “Day of the Dead” festival and see the beautiful beaches.

    Delightful animation and Voltaire music to boot.

    I’ve been thinking about getting Dia De Los Muerto themed tattoos for a while. I’m still considering it. I love the art and the culture behind it, but I’m not Mexican at all, so I don’t know if it would be offensive or something to the actual culture.

    But I think the image on that video at :26 would look really cool on my back or forearm. :)
