    Your Fave Voice Actor

    I don't know if I really have a favourite voice actor, but one voice I always enjoy recognising is Quinton Flynn's. "Got it memorised?"

    Gene Simmons Declares War on Anonymous

    Ha! That's hilarious! I really don't think Gene Simmons understands the internet. And to make matters funnier, he's going all "cyber police" and "backtraced it" about it. This is hilarious and (almost) unbelievable and I don't think anything's going to come of it. I'm no fan of Anonymous, but...

    Sun Declares 3DS is "Game For a Barf"

    I expect it's probably just the crazy people trying to find a new way to say "oh games are bad and wrong and should not exist". This happens so often in this sort of newspaper. Some papers reach a point where only a small percentage of what they print is actually news, and even that's rarely...

    Sequels ruin gaming.

    What about independent games developers? That's what happened with music; a lot of popular bands these days run their own record labels, and they're all making the music they want to make. So what if EA or whoever wants their developers to practically just rehash the last game in the series...

    Movies everyone hates.

    The most recent M. Night Shyamalan film I've seen is The Village (which I really liked, by the way), so I'm not really qualified to say that all of his films are good, but I do get the impression that most people don't give them a fair chance. It seems like people see his name and think "twist...

    On Difficulty Levels

    Actually, Mario Golf on the N64 did do something like that. You could use two of the C buttons to either compliment or insult the other player(s), and that would make them easier or harder to play against respectively. It would be good to see it used in a proper game though.

    Nintendo Boss Blames Boring Games For Industry Slump

    As usual, Nintendo are one step ahead. Microsoft and Sony move onto motion control, and Nintendo are all "yeah, we did that. What are we gonna do next?". Of course, there's still the problem that "new ideas" is something we've actually needed for a while, but I suppose it's better than if they...

    Test Your Mario Knowledge!

    17 out of 20. I found most of them easy (even, and especially, the movie one), but some of the questions slapped me round the face.

    Hardcore Will Adopt Kinect First, Says Microsoft

    I think there is potential with Kinect. Not with a series that already exists though. If they make Kinect mandatory for a new game in a series people have already started prior to Kinect, well, that would be a massive fail. However, I think the hardcore potential with Kinect is having cool games...

    Games that do NOT/did NOT deserve a sequel

    Army Men. Nuff said. But I'm still going to say more. Strictly speaking, I've only played one or two Army Men games, but the level of needless challenge is a frightening discovery. In one of them, there's a level where you're supposed to escort this guy past a minefield. Now, you have a mine...

    Random ramblings about Bullshit Art

    West. Triumph, I fill in my sack. Apples with. Here, I dream with an opened eye. I sleep can. Once there, it am filled with the falling water. Wake, and the embarrassment. Oh no, it is again. So basically, I reckon that if you combine poetry with Engrish, you get something resembling a...

    Four Chord Song

    As far as comedy is concerned, I prefered the Pachelbel rant, but it's good to know that more people have started noticing this.

    A Game you know everything about?

    I pretty much know every level from most Sonic games on the Mega Drive, starting from Sonic 1 (but probably not counting the last few levels of that) and ending at Sonic & Knuckles. I pretty much could imagine my way through Sonic & Knuckles.

    Question of the Day, June 8, 2010

    A few years ago, I'd have picked Final Fantasy, but I don't think a Final Fantasy anime from now would be good. Maybe back when it was Hironobu Sakaguchi in charge... A Katamari Damacy anime (Katamari Danime? Damacanime?) would be great, though. I think it would probably only work if it...

    FF7 Writer: Nintendo Era Is Over

    Masato Kato is a writer I very much look up to, but I do think he's wrong. Somewhat, at least. I do think that Apple will compete with Nintendo, but I'm pretty sure the only people who'd play iPad games more than DS games would be devoted Apple fans. Specifically; devoted Apple fans who aren't...
