The blog

I have had another article published by Gamecentral, the link for which is on the left. As a summary - Phil Fish has created and released a beautiful game called "Fez". During GDC (or something of that ilk) a Japanese gentleman asked the panel, which Phil Fish was a member of, what they thought of modern Japanese games. Phil Fish responded with "your games just suck". Due to this, some people are deciding to not buy the game, regardless of how good it is. I decided to try to analyse this viewpoint, to try and see exactly what rational basis there is for having such an extreme reaction. Enjoy.

So, Michael Bay is doing weird things with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film he is producing. The strangest thing, the thing that immediately had fans in an uproar, was that he said that the turtles were aliens. Now, considering his defence (linked above), lets assume that he genuinely is changing the origin of the characters. Some responses I have seen are along the lines of "Hey, relax, aliens make just as much sense as mutants." But do they? Really? First of all, consider the name of the franchise - they are ninjas, mutants, and turtles. If they are aliens, they would have to be alien mutants, alien ninjas, alien turtles.

It also mutated a human ninjustsu master into an anthropomorphic rat. The rat then taught the turtles ninjutsu, hence why they are ninjas. Let's call that 3 on the r

I haven't written an entry for a long time (business as usual, then) so I felt it was time for an update. First of all, I'm still trying to figure out a sensible way to do the side-bar. I've also got a contact page set up, as some people have tried to contact me and ended up contacting other people on my host. People that are not me. I'm also working on a page specifically for the videos I make, with a clear layout so that you will be able to select the exact video that you want (i.e. mp4, flv, html5? Long or multiple parts?) and see what other videos are planned. This is still slightly confused by the fact that Blip will no longer let me upload different file formats for the same video. Speaking of videos, why don't I do another one? I haven't finished writing the Death Note review, but why not Blood the Last Vampire in 5 seconds? Or maybe even commentary? Perhaps merely splitting the Dragonball review and joining the Blood one so that I have multi-part and lon
