You didn’t think I would pan this out into two articles, did you? Well, I did, so deal with it. ^_^ No seriously, I’ve said some semi-nifty things on Twitter, eh? Give me some cred. You subscribed yet? No?! Herm, maybe we can pad this out into 3 articles…<\/p>\n

\n

Can’t think of anything to write about Wipeout Fury for the blog. It definetly sports a madder, more aggressive vibe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Eliminator mode= awesome, detonator = entrancing, Zone Battle= kinda lame, awesome package, piles of content<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I reckon I probably will enjoy Metroid Prime 2 more than MP1&3. MP2 brings the tough bosses and nails the macabre, alt design<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Will try to substantiate into an article soon.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Quadraxis was certainly a highlight, loved the multi-tiered design and ingenuity of the spider and boostball techniques. Killer music too.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There’s something very 1997 which I’ve always admired about the Turok (N64) boxart http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/mrz8ue<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Battle of the Bionosaurs, that’s such an awesome name. I’d really like to suss out the 2D Turok games.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Momiji (Ninja Gaiden) and Shigure (Ninja Scroll Animated series) have a more than strong design and personality resemblance<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Band Hero gets “Paralyzer” (Finger Eleven), oh, that sucks >_<<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Three of my favourite songs (If You Could Only See, Impression That I Get, Paralyzer) are in that game, god.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Why is Rock Band so full of shitey Southern American rock? I’d kill for some Powderfinger, Silverchair, Thirsty Merc or anything Australian<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So pleased I have no affiliation with the alt. gamer\/Asian-wannabe crowd at UniSA…sure I’m partial, but those people make me wanna barf.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

I try to avoid mentioning games much in my social life (unless it’s of mutual interest) and keep things pretty segregated between here and there. I dunno, most of the gamer people I’ve met in my life tend to conform to sad stereotypes and can’t seem to separate their hobby from social etiquette.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Perhaps I’m too purist and objective to be a rabid enthusiast of childish things<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Surprising discussion on the Good Game presenter switch @ Mediawatch forums: http:\/\/bit.ly\/sRNWW<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

9:48 PM Nov 9th, 2009 via web<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Good Game is an Australia TV show about games. One of the shows long-time presenters was suddenly axed without warning. The threads here are interesting.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Might buy myself Rune Factory 2 for Christmas. I’ve avoided a decades worth of bad Harvest Moon iterations, and RF looks like the exception<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2:04 PM Nov 17th, 2009 via web<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\n

BTW, fans of said, bad Harvest Moon iterations deserve our pity. Damn, anti-purists.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2:08 PM Nov 17th, 2009 via web<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

I’m uber purist when it comes to the Harvest Moon<\/em> franchise. The original is the only \u201ctrue\u201d game in the series, IMO. The spin off Rune Factory<\/em>, on the other hand, seems slick. I will hopefully get to write about it this year.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Kinda funny that Aus. gets the original US CrossworDS and the recent EU release and rebranding, they’re pretty much identical.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When the identity of a nation state is challenged by mass migration it seeks to consolidate itself by promotion of nationalistic values<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

10:21 PM Jan 26th via web<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The next few tweets are just criticising nationalistic tendencies. I dislike belief structures (religion, cults, nationalist, patriotism, enthusiast followings).<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Of course, attempting to define the traits and values that apply to an entire population fails, but we aggressively fail anyways.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

It’s for this reason that we have a better understanding of what isn’t Australian rather than what is<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

10:28 PM Jan 26th via web<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Because the reality is that ‘Australian’ is a marker, an excuse to separate them from us.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

10:36 PM Jan 26th via web<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s also a trigger to connote that “what we do is normal and civilised…whereas what they<\/em>, the other<\/em> do is not”. Symbols of patriotism, even though we don’t truly understand them,\u00a0 make us feel secure in our belonging to a membership group.<\/p>\n

\n

BTW, did I mention that we’re all friendly bunch of larrikins who are great at sport and eat lamb? Aren’t you?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

10:39 PM Jan 26th via web<\/em><\/p>\n

And, yes, it doesn’t always make sense.<\/p>\n

\n

Endless Ocean 2, Excitebike: World Rally, No More Heroes 2 and Tatsunoko vs Capcom – all seem like interesting games for the Wii<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

11:33 PM Jan 28th via web<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

It’s a pity that Nintendo fans\/industry alike will continue to decry the Wii for the obvious lack of quality software\/3rd party support<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure if they all had guns and were set in first person\/over the shoulder people would care…somewhat<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Basically good games with strong marketing sell, Nintendo’s presence seems to be an excuse to pass blame for under performing in these areas<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Even Nintendo have weak sellers like Battalion Wars 2, Walk with me, Excitebots, Chibi Robo and Custom Robo – same reasons.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wonders why Nintendo didn’t\/won’t extend their ‘New Play Control’ branding to 3rd parties, including Okami, RE0, Remake and 4, Rygar, etc<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s kinda sad how Capcom sexualised Jill Valentine with RE3’s boobtube\/miniskirt combo and RE5’s catsuit, she was just fine before.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In RE; Umbrella Chronicles her original body figure is dressed in her RE3 get up which is quite interesting<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They also made her more slender which doesn’t fit with her RE1 body image<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, I’m still sour on the Half-life<\/em> series. Half-life 2<\/em>‘s legacy was mostly overrated (it’s just gimmicks!!) and, as I tweet later, the cast are trying too hard to be ordinary. I also look forward to making fun of Alyx falling in love with a soulless avatar.<\/p>\n
