“Chapter Two: A Vignette Exploring Foreboding, Featuring a Description of the Author’s Misguided Fashion Choices“

“I just lost the game.
As a side effect, so did you.”
It’s entirely unfortunate that whenever I, you, or anybody else reads this article they lose “The Game” (and now, of course, anyone who reads this blog.) Still, if it works to spread this little viral bit of magic even further, then it makes me happy. [...]

“And so it was I found myself in the Waterstones on Princes Street trying to read The Birthday Party in half an hour. Which I managed. But considering that a great deal of the atmosphere of the play is (apparently) in Pinter’s use of silence, my ultra fast version kind of lost a bit of [...]

“If you ignore the gradings and play through the game from beginning to end, Viewtiful Joe is a short, fast paced, no brain summer blockbuster type of game. Maybe that’s all Atsushi Inaba wanted to create. I, sadly, wanted more.”

“To truly love games, you must hate the games industry.
If the unreached potential of a game is what can make you hate it, the games industry is the peak of unreached potential. It continues to give birth to one of the most exciting form of entertainment possible. An entertainment that everyone could enjoy, but very [...]

“I might be wrong, but just about the most uncool thing to do at a game expo is for everyone in your crew to wear T-shirts emblazoned with the name of your website. Real videogame journalists don’t do that. They don’t sit in the press office media room posting “OMG I AM AT ECTS LOLLERS!” [...]

As soon as I heard Kojima was going to be at ECTS I knew I had to find him and give him my card. Tim tried and… Didn’t quite succeed. Was this my Insert Credit proving ground? Could I GET KOJIMA?
