re: pop and art?
I randomly started up my game of Prince of Persia on my 360 earlier today, a fact I blame on 
halcyonjazz and always making me remember how very much I love that game. And I played through the part where I think I absolutely fell in love with the game for the first time.
For those of you that have played it, I'm talking about when you finally face and defeat the Concubine for the last time. The illusions she conjures of Elika, and the way the Prince has to break the illlusions... Eee, is all I can say. There's so much I could say about that whole sequence (and the Concubine in general and her ultimate greatness for being such a fantastic bitch) but I could probably go on for days.
Incidentally, it made me realize I'd like to find some Prince of Persia artwork, as my new goal in life is to decorate the walls of my apartment with framed artwork dedicated to some of my favorite games... I already have BioShock covered (in two freaking awesome pieces) and a smaller Final Fantasy VII piece, and technically a Devil May Cry piece, though it's actually art by the artist of VG Cats that I got at a convention.
... but Prince of Persia art is so hard to find, and I'd feel bad stealing shit from DeviantArt.
not like I have that much wall space anyhow
I also really want to watch Avatar again. Thus, icon.
