Bowser Rogozhin-Houellebecq

Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while. What was the last Darius game? My memory is hazy and I'm not beside my collection right now, but I'd guess it's Gaiden on the Playstation 2? I think even that was some port from the 90s.

Why?

To a mere mortal such as myself, it sounds like this game has flown widely off budget and the only way the publishers hope to see any return on their investment is through fracturing the game and hawking it off to consumers in packaged chunks. This process is ghastly, but it’s becoming more and more ever-present; the process is becoming normalised, and gamers are pleasantly accepting it.

Not having an interest in this game means I have no stake in this announcement, but one does wonder for the future of our hobby. I mean, is this it? Have the demands on resources got so much that the only way to recoup extraordinary costs is to ‘lego-ize’ our games? Or is this another case of big three avarice? Next generation is going to be even worse than this, I fear.

Just Dance is an okay game if you have friends that like to enjoy themselves, primarily through the use of alcohol and, or, any other substances, illicit not excluded; Just Dance is popular with people who have friends.

Should I worry for the people who condemn innocent players of Just Dance?

"Screw you, I'm poor"

That's my answer to anything and everything. You can't imagine the amount of shenanigans I’ve been able to get away with through using those four golden words. Poverty has its advantages; yes, it’s weak and shallow social constructivism, but I cling to it like a poor man to…

On topic: I wish Ghostfire Games all the best with this venture. Hopefully it turns out to be a reasonable success.

Those arms.

You can't go wrong with Yatterman-1 and Megaman or Cashern and Roll; sometimes I mix up a combination of those four. Usually, at least. And sometimes I bring out big ol' Gold Lightan; his battle cries are simply the best I've heard in any fighting game. They're simply so over the top they're to die for.

Where I work, we use a letter drafted specially for script rejections. The filename is called 'boilerplate_reject', but the receiver wouldn't be all the wiser given that it's printed and sent off by mail, or copy-pasted for email. From the looks of it Mark Cerny is well respected by the body that awarded him this prestigious award; those many minutes it took to amend 'Cerny' from 'yesterday's hero' was obviously a course well plotted.

Assuming that the majority of these electronics are made in China or Taiwan, I’d imagine that environment standards of all these companies are pretty poor. That’s how a Company A is able to manufacture, for example, a phone from anywhere from £500 to £20 while still using the same, or similar enough, natural resources. To plunder these resources from the ground while still maintaining a reasonable cost to the consumer, though, appeasing shareholders is the main element of this great game, requires cuts to be made, corners to be folded; this is ecological imperialism.

It’s very easy and lazy to target large, faceless multinationals, but these reports, rather, the interpretation of said reports help nobody, and the environment comes off the worse for it.. Multinationals are stuck in a prisoner’s dilemma, of sorts, to constantly deliver innovation at the lowest cost to the consumer, and for the highest dividend for the shareholder; failure to deliver these base fundamentals means rivals steal a march. This is all for the consumer; the consumer, both as consumer of product and consumer as shareholder, constantly demands more; the consumer is ravenous, and the multinational genuflects to this need - this greed.

The new strategy, after the Chinese selfishly hijacked Copenhagen, is to target the consumer: consumer culture needs to die. If not die, then it needs to be sustainable and educated. We cannot go on living expecting, for example, to pay £20 for a phone or £30 for a media on a disc. It’s not just clever. Not only is the planet slowly being poisoned, but slave conditions are the only way to maintain this ‘forever growth’. Look at the story of the Rockstar emplyees below; that’s slave conditions. Read up on miners in China; that’s slave conditions. Once consumers start to become people, once people become educated, and they fully understand the consequences of their actions, then real steps can be made. This Greenpeace PDF is nothing more than the scurf of the wind, publicity for an incredibly bureaucratic, devilish institution. We must remember: multinationals are beholden to the consumer.

Another relaunch? I have a hunch that Sonic is merely sustained by people in my country; it’s like they won’t let go. Emotions amongst the natives seem to fluctuate between stages one and three, sometimes, though, rarely, four, of the Kubler Ross model; incidences of missing the obvious; seeing a tree when everyone else sees a vast forest of mediocrity. And lo, a corporate opportunity has begat itself; where there was once wealth there is now sand. But no matter, reskinning a ride at another failing institution can only strengthen links, if only until the next relaunch.

Yes, the guy who almost always posts on the weekends (who just decided to post today because of London ‘no go to work day as there’s snow’ day) are the various sockpuppets; characters who possess no ideology, no interest in bettering the site; characters who are inherently devoid of character. Nice try at distraction, Jack. You smell of selfishness, masochism and death, and your spoling the site. Go away.
