see you on the other side

Well its time to put the blog down for a day and wish you a merry Christmas or Xmas or your cherished celebration of choice. Its less a white Christmas than an apocalyptic one outside around these here parts with torrential sub-doomsday levels of rain. Truly its that special time of year again.

A time for shiny wrapping paper, nauseating levels of consumption and a time where families get together seemingly for the purpose of talking over each other because who needs to hear the TV anyway. Maybe that last one is just mine. As you can no doubt tell I'm filled with a warm merry glow right now. Might just be the liqueur I've imbibed this evening though.

Oh well whatever the last 12 months have thrown in your general direction here's conveying to you good vibes for 2014 in a blog sized serving of good will. Hope you get a measure of what you're seeking. Heck here's hoping for a good dose of perspective for us all on a day that won't be merry for all.

Sure we only get an approximation of the marketing delusion that is Christmas Day but I'm thankful for the something rather than the nothing some will get tomorrow. Merry Xmas peeps, see you the other side of Boxing Day

Once upon a time in the dark ages, in the long ago, in the age before the iPhone and reliable high speed broadband there was the humble video game. You would play it, it would last for a finite length of time and then it would end. You'd move on and play another game, maybe read a book, watch a film, join a ukulele band. You'd cast that game into the realm of memories past, enriched by the experience in some way but no longer actively partaking of it. Now that time never ended as such, those games are still very much around but in the here and now they have been eclipsed somewhat by something else altogether.

anime hair and the end of days

I've just completed a game that, in normal circumstances at least, wouldn't generally be my cup of tea. A game remastered and released in 2021 but which originally arrived in 2010 in a somewhat 'adjusted' manner shall we say?. A game I meant to get around to back then but never did and now that I have finally gotten around to both playing and completing it, I'm not entirely sure if I liked it or not. That game is Nier Replicant or to give it it's full re-released title:  Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... because clearly the game alone wasn't baffling enough....

the refreshing taste of cosmic justice

As alluded to in my last post I have some thoughts about the game I have spent most of the last week playing, that game being Paradise Killer , those thoughts being well... these ones.  First up it seems like a minor miracle that I am playing a game like this in 2023 on my PS5 and not on my PS2 in the hallowed year of our lord 2001. it's a game that's quite simple and straightforward in some ways and in others it has a lot going on just beneath the surface. It feels about as removed from the generic high budget videogame as it gets these days without going into the realm of indie low-budget. There's some weird throwback energy going on here is what I am saying and over the next few hundred words I will attempt to put said thoughts in some kind of coherent order. To the commentary...
