Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma.


Monkeys and other assorted nonsense
April 30, 2006

Hey look, I'm not dead! So much for my streak of actually writing stuff... Oh well. I guess that's what happens when your entire PhD project nearly disintegrates around you, and right before it's supposed to be presented at a conference too. But such is life, and that catastrophe has passed with only minor damage. So now back to writing. Or so I hope. Metroid Zero Mission review, here I come!

The Megamanization of Zelda continues
March 27, 2006

1986-1990: Two new Zelda games
1991-1995: Two new Zelda games
1996-2000: Two new Zelda games, one remake
2001-2005: Five new Zelda games, three ports, one port with remixed dungeons, and one collector's edition
2006: Already two new Zelda games

Remember when a new Zelda release was special? Remember when new Zelda releases were brand new games and not rehashes of the old ones? Yeah, those were the days...

The Revmote
March 21, 2006

Well, since we're less than two days away from at least the possibility of a tidbit or two regarding the Revolution, I thought I'd say a few words about the last tidbit. Or, more accurately, the last major announcement - the controller. Hey, I'm only half a year late...

First of all, to all of you people talking excitedly about swinging Link's sword around or lightsabres or baseball bats or golf clubs or whatever: shut up and think about that for a second. Yes, it may seem cool when you don't think about it, but when you do, you notice why it's so stupid.

New review
March 13, 2006

Look, I wrote a review! F-Zero GX, for those that care. Probably not my best review, but whatever. I'm just glad it's done. Who knows when I'll write another one...

Memories of Zelda
March 05, 2006

I'm sure you all have wonderful memories of playing games. I'm sure you've all got a few special moments that really stand out, and make all the hours wasted playing these games worth it. We all do. For me, the majority of them come from one series. And so I thought I'd share just a few of them, if only to hide the fact that I meant to have a review done weeks ago and it's still not finished. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but I tried to pick some not-so-obvious moments that really connected with me.

Zelda and Revolution
February 19, 2006

Am I the only one upset about these ever increasing rumors of Twilight Princess being adapted to have bonus features on the Revolution?

Editorial Listing
February 06, 2006

I better do this before I forget. Since editorials are no longer a part of this site, I have to keep track of them myself. So this post will periodically be updated whenever I add a new editorial. This post will be permanently linked on the side bar here, so you can easily find a list of all my rantings. So, without further ado...

The Anti-RPG Manifesto - Why do you play RPGs? Are they really worth your time? In fact, are the stories and gameplay any good at all?
