joy

Now, I realise this is a little late, but hey.

People, do you like joy? I mean do you enjoy erm... joy?

Well - if you do, have a look at these youtube videos of crowds reacting to the same CNN footage of the Obama win.

Stay scared London

This is weak. The whole city is full of people taking photos.

NiGHTS for Wii

Dear SEGA, stop raping your back catalogue. You got NiGHTS right the first time. All you had to do was write new levels, tidy up the graphics and port to your platform of choice. I'm a huge Nights (I've had enough of the weird capitals) fan, and I was really looking forward to playing it again after all these years. But srsly wtf?

Now, I've only got as far as the BOAT Nights level but :

Nights does not speak, in fact no-one should.
Walking levels? Are you fucking kidding me?
Rotary controls on a platform with 8way analogue sticks? Really?
Sonic Team needs new camera code, urgently.
An owl helper/sidekick, who addresses you as "visitor" in spite of there being only two characters.
Nights is all about maintaining flow, the frame rate needs to be constant.
A fucking BOAT LEVEL? Nights turns into a BOAT? The fuck?
If I fail a level, you need to give me a clue as to why - "You ran out of time."

About the only thing I can see you got right so far is the soundtrack.

How much of a nights fan am/was I? I'll let the pick guard on my bass guitar anwser that :


Seriously SEGA, buying your games is like being in an abusive relationship. I love you baby, but you hurt me all the time.

be afraid people

Be very afraid.

Unhappy

...in which I go off on one.

Ok, my long standing belief that musicals are evil and not to be trusted have yet again been proven correct. For a while now, everytime I see the clean, tidy, generic stars of Disney's High School Musical, I die a little inside. I noticed a few days ago, the BBC were showing it, so I Tivo'd it for the lulz.

Turns out, that was the worst thing I could have done. (I bet you're all so shocked)

I hate this bland, "Hey, everything's great, you can succeed at anything, hooray for everything" attitude I keep seeing from places like Disney.

Here's a sample lyric chosen from HSM's soundtrack :

We're all in this together / Once we know / That we are / We're all stars / And we see that

We're all in this together / And it shows / When we stand / Hand in hand / Make our dreams come

Eurgh, I hate even cutting and pasting that.



Hey kids, sometimes you're going to fail, you can't be anything you want to be. Just dreaming it, and realising that you're all individuals and strong and determined and ever so ever so ever so perky will not do.

This head-shrinker crap has got to stop. HSM is so clean and perfect, I can't even look at the posters without feeling rage. And you know something's wrong when you feel like punching a poster. The mousecorp has really done it this time. Everyone in the film ticks a box on a checklist. You just know that somewhere, there's been a meeting and someone has mentioned that it needs more minorities.

I should really stop being annoyed at things that clearly aren't meant for me. But I would hate to think any kid of mine would turn out to be the sort that would watch HSM and enjoy it. Christ, I'd even put up with him being emo if it meant HSM never entered my house.

Anyway, welcome back to my blog, I only have hate left now.

Greetings friends

We're back.

This had better not be a joke...

If this turns out to be some elaborate April fools joke, bowdie is going to have to choke a bitch. For reals.

More Japanese TV

As with so many things in life, this is much improved with the addition of Ninjas.
