Behold my somewhat offensive T-Shirt designs!
Are you a VAGETARIAN?
I'll be adding more tees with time, but for now, we have Transflamers t-shirts, Vageterian tops and I'll be attempting to adapt the Mandigo Tales to a t-shirt friendly format.

Xbox 360 mag article reprints: My snarky games industry column
Nov 06
EAxploitation. A piece on whether EA deserves the tidal waves of hatorade they get from fanboys.

You can't spell 'analyst' without 'anal. It's about analysts talking out of their arseholes.

Games that make you cry, AKA making games can make you cry. How making games can potentially deflate you to the point of tears.

The Oprah Effect. I really don't like her despite having never met her. I'm a judgmental prick and happy with it. In this piece, I try to figure out what kind of game she'd like. This is before the world knew of Wii Fit I think. She'd probably dig that. Also, here is the original, ruder, snarkier, funnier un-edited version of this piece. They really edited the hell out of it.
March 07
Not Very Super-heroes. A rant about shitty superhero movies and the disappearance of testosterone action flicks. Rambo 4 really made me happy when it eventually came out.
I'll put more up later in the week
The D.A.M articles
These are articles I wrote for Digital Artist Management's newsletter. Some of them are good, some could be better. I'll update this as new ones are done.
Indie Developer-focused pieces
An interview with Introversion: Indie devs who made it
An interview with Chris Bateman; designer, award winning writer, design theorist / philosopher and generally good bloke
GDC and the steady rise of Indie gaming
More support for the Garage Developer
Trying to go Homebrew Part 1
Trying to go Homebrew Part 2
A much earlier piece on Indie gaming and homebrew devs. Can you see a pattern yet?

Echochrome: Cool little puzzle game
This is the kind of thing that the Japanese excel at - mad experimental cool shit. This is coming for PSN (PS3) and PSP. In short, you navigate MC Esher style environments and solve puzzles by changing the perspective.
Rock Band gameplay video
Brought to you by Harmonix, the ninjas behind the mighty Guitar Hero. This will be the central piece of every party where alcohol is served for the next ten years. You can download FULL ALBUMS and there will be a new album released EVERY FUCKING WEEK.
This game is so full of win I could cry.

Bizarre 8-bit versions of 16-bit games
Russian NES pirates. Pretty exhaustive work from the looks of it. Even a version of Super Mario World. Haven't had a chance to play it, but I assume anyone with a NES emulator can give these a tinker:

MySpace is finally infiltrated by Rupert Murdoch's political bumchums
Observe the 'Cool New People' portion of MySpace's front page. Keep hitting refresh. Notice anything weird?
It would seem that if you log in fairly regularly, you'll see something a little off-key.
Firstly, there are politicians in the 'Cool New People' box. Secondly, they are posing as 'cool' and 'people'. Thirdly, they seem to breaking the rules somewhat as the same ones will reappear in that box a day or two after. Just like past elections, it seems this little box has been 'rigged'.
Surely this is a bug? There's no way the same person would pop up twice on what is supposed to be an area highlighting new people who've just signed up? Could it be a bunch of politicians calling in favours to Mr Murdoch? Quite possibly. He does "buy things to run things" and has been known to push political agendas in the past.
Here's a bunch of screengrabs from varied visits across last week. Notice how some of these creatures pop-up multiple times:

Free music from DJs EEvil and Johnny Hardcore
Might as well combine two sets of DJ sets in one story. Because I am lazy.
Here's Dr EEvil's stuff if you like things like Pendulum and other breaks. He does a pretty decent Roadhouse Blues mix too:
His new mix >>>
And a link to all his stuff >>>
Here's Johnny Hardcore's stuff if you like yourself some 'ardcore. Or just House:
Half an hour of Hardcore >>>

For the boys recently 'let go' at SCE, here is something to make the pain go away
This also has the double edged sword of making everyone else who likes looking at girls feel very, very nice and warm inside as well. Thank Saint 'Firesuite' for this most glorious of moving images.

Midgets. A great way to start any day:

Images of Transformers that almost make me want to see it now
I know I'll hate the dialogue (the leaked script is pages upon pages of shame), but the action scenes may be the reason to sell me in. And these pics stolen from various places across teh internets are may be the proof in the proverbial pudding. Click the still images to expand them.

Fold Protein on your Mac, PC and PS3
The following link provides only the PC and MAC version, but if you go to the PlayStation store, you can download the client I believe. It's free and helps finds cures for shit like Leprosy and your mum being a whore* , which means if you don't download and run it, you're probably a cunt.

God Of War II - Mini Review
Ok, so I love the original God Of War title, the size of the game, as well as its looks hooked me. This time around in GOW2 I wanted to be suitably impressed again, and I have been by the look of the game, and the additions to its gameplay, however...

Pretty cool short film
The ending was a nice surprise. Worth watching all the way through.
Videogame fanboys are stupid and annoying
Let it be testament to his stupidity that I took time out of being painfully overworked to post this Youtube of possibly the most idiotic twat I'v seen in a while.
Go and touch a fanny. It'll change your life mate.
Meanwhile, here are some more idiots. I'm *stunned* people like this actually exist:

OPRAH WINFREY CAN MAKE OR BREAK THINGS (especially through sitting on them)
Oprah Winfrey ruined one of the best pubs in my area, because she told everyone it has “the best burger in America”. The rotund harpy knows what she’s talking about too. I mean LOOK AT HER. I’d definitely trust her opinion on ingestibles as she’s clearly well-versed in ingesting them.

Bloody amazing French Beat boxer
Goes from Michael Jackson to all sorts. How he breathes is a mystery. Also, the site will start getting updated again by the end of the month. Shit's been crazy.

Richard Joseph Dies
Legendary Computer Game Musician has passed away aged 53. Richard had been ill for a short period of time with Lung Cancer...
The BAFTA-winning Joseph was one of the pioneers of sampling in games, with many Bitmap Brothers tunes featuring well-known artists of the era such as Betty Boo. But his own creations for Sensible were perhaps his best known work, such as the controversial "War Has Never Been So Much Fun" tune in Cannon Fodder and, of course, "Goal Scoring Superstar Hero" used in Sensible Soccer.
I only Met Richard the once, but that was enough, Richard you will be greatly missed.

Die Hard 4.0 - Live Free Die Hard
Here's the first teaser for the upcoming Die Hard 4.0. Which I totally despise as a name. It's a film, not a word processor...

General Transformers
General Motors have just unveiled their Transformers movie line-up of cars:
Jazz looks a bit 'mobile hairdresser', but Ratchet and Ironhide look more like it. Still stinks of a whole blockbuster film advert. I still harbour a dream of getting my soul eroded by the build up to this film, only to be blown away by the final product. But as I say, it is just a dream...
