Mirror’s Edge is a video game. It is for the next generation video games machines. Except Wii because it can’t handle the awesome cutscene graphics from Mirror’s Edge.

Mirror’s Edge is made by Electronic Arts, my favourite video game maker because they make the video game Madden, which Mirror’s Edge is almost like as cool as. I bought Mirror’s Edge because I found a PS3...at a store. Also, Samit told me to. It was $18 dollars... plus tax.

Mirror’s Edge is about a girl who runs. Her name is Faith. She is cool because she has tattoos and jumps on things. I like girls who have tattoos because they are hawt.



Faith has a job as a mailman. As everyone knows, mailmen and cops don’t get along. So wherever Faith goes, she fights cops and sometimes ninjas. Mirror’s Edge has a good story, because it is written by Rhianna Pratchett. Mirror’s Edge really makes me think and feel for the characters, just like my favourite video game character Tidus from Final Fantasy Ten.It has cool cutscenes that do look like the cartoons, like as does my favourite movie film Titan AE.



Mirror's Edge is a platformer like old Mario games where you run and jump and stuff, except totally better because it is in three dee. The game also reminds me of one of my other favourite video games: Halo, because I can shoot people. I also like it because it is as if a puzzle game where you have to figure out where to go and this is challenging. I like this. Sometimes, when jumping from platform to platform it is also sometimes unclear if you will make it. So sometimes you just have to take a...leap...of...Faith.

Adjectives. I got them: Oh, hey guys! Look what I found. It's hard. It's black. It's heavy. It's amazing. It's new and above all else: SLIM.



Here it is, in it's new environment.



Oh look it fully integrated and made itself a friend.


Anyways, so if you'd like to add me, my PSN account name is cadtalfryn. Who the hell else would want a name like that?

I currently sit in a lounge in Houston International Airport, delayed and laid over awaiting for the rain to stop drowning the tarmac, eagerly awaiting my aeroplane headed for bright and sunny Ontario California. The flight from London to Houston was surprisingly short, mostly because I got my game on.

The plane came equipped with cheesy knock offs of classic Atari games that entertained me for brief spells, before my rage set in. These "Arcade" titles, while they resembled the originals, were god awful attempts to blatantly copy something. I suffered through Space Invasion, Millipede, Table Tennis, and Meteors! I suppose the simpler a game is, the harder it is to emulate effectively. The Space Invaders and Asteroids knock offs were the worst offenders of the lot. It makes me wish I knew someone with a 2600...or a shower, so I could cleanse myself of this sick filth. Apparently, neither are in supply in this hell hole.

After I was finished with that, I used my newly acquired DS Lite for the first time. I found a copy of Bangai-O Spirits for 5 pounds a few days before and thought it was a good deal. But it's worth about 5 pounds from what I can tell. It looks like a flash game and is brutally difficult as well.

Luckily, before I left the London terminal I found a store that I had a giftcard for that had DS games. Score! This meant I picked up New Super Mario Bros for free and still have money left over. If there is a silver cloud to this day, NSMB is it. The game is fantastic...if a little floaty. Damn it. I wanted to be positive about something and I screwed that up too. I blame Texas for my mood. I need to get back to Califooooooorrrrrnia.

I drew this last week for the art contest that Ignition is holding that's right about to finish and figured I would share it with you guys. Hopefully this piece will land me a spot in the Ignition judge's top 6. If not, it was a lot of fun to draw.

Again, the pixel limit of c-blogs forced me to show a downsized version that looks a bit off so there's a link to a full sized image. Anyways, I hope you like it.

Apparently there was at least one finisher the guys at Platinum Games had to remove from Madworld because it was too violent for the game. The video is featured below.

Too violent for Madworld? That's an impressive feat indeed. Let's take a look.

Removed Finisher:


All I can say after seeing that is: That's the nastiest suppository I've ever seen. Personally I prefer Jude the Dude's finishing move that was included in the game. I might even go so far to say it is my personal favorite.

Final Finisher:


On a rather uninteresting side note I just started a new file on Madworld this morning. My dogs woke me up early and I couldn't get back to sleep. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the A.M. than impaling goons at my leisure.

Earlier in the week I made a post on how Capcom and Nintendo are trying to forge a better relationship between the two companies. Currently, that means coordinating with one another during events for Monster Hunter 3. I jokingly added that the best outcome from this relationship would be Nintendo vs. Capcom, having never really thought of the prospect before. Apparently fans, as seen above, have created their own versions of what NvC would look like, and the idea has occurred to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom's producer Ryota Niitsuma as well.



Perhaps, the idea is not so far fetched after all. You can be sure a mash up between Super Smash Bros and Street Fighter would sell unbelievably well. So Nintendo, Capcom...what's stopping you?
