Scrubs-Trend Setter
For those of you who have been living in a bubble for the past 6 years, Scrubs is a non-traditional sitcom that airs on Thursday nights on NBC. If you are asking yourself, "What does he mean by non-traditional sitcom", well I will get to that in a minute. Over the past five years, a grip of dramas have been appearing that are using the "Scrubs formula", whether in its entirety like Grey's Anatomy, or bits and pieces of it. Let me further explain. The main reason why I am about to write a... Read Full Story
Touhou Project
Everyone loves scrolling shooters. If you don't stop reading. Remember stuff like Gradius and Galaga? Well those are horizontal scrolling shooters. Not what I'm here to talk about. Maybe you've played Raiden? That's a vertical scrolling shooter. Hopefully you know the difference between vertical and horizontal. Assuming you do, and that you like these types of games, I'm here to tell you about Touhou Project. Touhou Project falls under a genre aptly named "Bullethell". Originally Touhou... Read Full Story
MMORPG's:Mixing It Up Baby, Yeah!
In my last piece I wrote in general about social interaction through MMORPG’s and why they make me “Squee” or get really excited. I thought that social interaction through MMORPG’s was a pretty basic thing to analyse but apparently it’s not. There are so many levels on which people interact and so many studies into this that I had to explore it a bit more. The title of this piece is “Mixing it up baby yeah!” and basically I aim to focus on MMORPG’s and the bringing together of people from... Read Full Story
Fashionista … Fascista …
…so as I idly brush my hand through the latest rack of designs by J.Lindeburg, I get the painful nasal whine of anguish which I come to expect when I’m shopping with someone who isn’t Tom. “My god, who would pay £180 for a pair of jeans? What a rip-off”. Now, this is something that I’ve come to expect, but, nary a year ago, I’d of uttered the same sentiment without regard. I mean, paying 180 quid for a piece of denim? Jesus, that’s the shopping equivalent of getting... Read Full Story
What is it about MMORPG’s that makes me Squee?
I love MMORPG’s. For all of you out there who don’t know what they are here is a brief summary for you. MMORPG stands for Massively Multimedia Online Role Playing Game. It’s a genre of RPG Game where a large number of individuals interact with each other via the internet. You assume a fictional character (or more than one) and build it up through levelling and quests within the games World. I love MMORPG’s; they are by far my favourite platform when it comes to gaming. But what is it... Read Full Story
Sharing my addiction with the world
Look, I play some pretty bad games... I suppose it has something to do with the fact that I inflict pretty severe mental torture upon myself. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I am strangely drawn to shitty games. Of course, that's a discussion for another time. I'm just here to talk about Spider-Man 3 The Game. Now, starting off. The game is (gasp) better than the movie. Just swinging around the city and beating up on random thugs provides it own levels of entertainment... Read Full Story

Handling tedium, micromanagement and other skills I have picked up from RPG's that will come in handy during my future careers.
This is a gigantic middle finger pointed mainly at Square Enix, but in addition, any video game developer who has made an RPG is allowed to feel offended. Because let's face it, you all suck at making video games, obviously. Traditionally, there has been one main reason to play single player RPGs (I don't touch MMO fare with a 40 foot pole), and that, at least if you ask sane, rational people, is the story. As far as epic, larger-than-life stories go, you're going to have to work hard to... Read Full Story
Mellowdrone
I haven't actually had time to look into this band, but two fellows I know have been singing their praises for the past week, so I will do that when finals are over! In the meantime I told them I would put the links for their music on a blog so the internets could pick the link up and put it on Google, or something. :) Hey! You people! Give them a listen and tell me what you think. Here's a link: Mellowdrone - Glassblower http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P87QM4YW Mellowdrone - Box http://www... Read Full Story
