Deeper audio design, eye-controlled Guitar Hero, more accessible games links

Kes: And speaking of games with amazing audio design, when do I get to try Papa Sangre? Yes, I know, game design is hard, so while I'm waiting around here are some links that are kind of keeping me amused. As with the previous post, this was sent to the IGDA list, and I've reordered them according to my interest, because I think men who talk about audio design are hot. I know Foley artists used to call it "sweetening" the sound, but using the adjective "deeper" sounds so much more ...immersive.
