The Guild - Do You Wanna Date My Avatar
Extremely geeky, full of MMO references and probably old... but it's the first time I'd seen it and its surprisingly catchy. It connects with a web series "the guild" which is even geekier. To the extent that I can't actually watch it... oh well.

Champions online... How to make a mediocre MMO
The champions NDA has just come down a week before the game is released. I quite liked
City of Heroes, an older superhero MMO, so I applied and got into beta and have been
playing it for a while. Sadly

Wow, impressive.
This may be old stuff, but I thought it was really impressive. I've loved music made from cutting up old samples for ages. From the Jamm's to early DJ shadow, rjd2, cut chemist but doing the same thing by cutting up youtube music video's is pretty damn impressive. Even more so because the video is actually interesting to watch while you're enjoying ( Read more... ) -
Guilds
I've been in a gaming guild for a long time. I didn't really think about how long until it looked like the guild was about to fade away to nothing. The charismatic and well liked guild leader picked Vanguard (doesn't matter if you don't know it) as the game with the brightest future and we packed up shop in WoW and moved (having done the same when ( Read more... ) -
Crazy times....
Well, it has been interesting. Motorola has made its inglorious exit from Perth leaving me unemployed. The biggest shame is that the talent they had here in Perth was top class. If they'd simply said "go out, get work, generate some revenue" the center could have so easily been profitable even without doing any Motorola work. But then ultimately ( Read more... ) -

Dante Valentine
A mind-wrenching series of books about a walking basket case and her tedious internal conflicts. There are occasional interludes of story in which a variety of people much cooler than she is "give her space" while protecting her from anything that would distract from her internal bitching and self loathing. She's meant to be the worlds greatest ( Read more... ) -
Sailor Moon (Season 1)
There are probably a bunch of anime which have just had waaaay too much influence amongst western anime fans. So much influence that one begins to wonder, despite the apparent failings of the material itself, just what managed to grab peoples minds. Three that stand out would have to be dragonball, sailor moon and probably pokemon. Titles that were ( Read more... ) -
Vanguard.... not.
I'm currently playing Vanguard, the little MMORPG that couldn't. Well, playing is actually a little bit generous. Instead after the regular patch through the middle of every WA evening I still had enough time to fit in four opportunities for the game to crash. A little freeze and then you're back at the desk top. The game isn't even capable enough ( Read more... ) -
The Outsider...
My web page has vanished. It'll be back soon. The web hosting has always been a little bit odd. Friend of a friend of a friend with no direct communication. So things like the current example, where the page just vanishes without warning, tend to happen. Going to be getting some new hosting somewhat closer to home and a little bit more featured.
