About Me

My real name is Mark. But my name is also Mooks. It's short for Mookie. I want to be a writer, a director, a musician, a game designer, an actor, and a constantly awesome person. Most days I forget I'm a senior in college.

I have been gaming since I was a newborn, when my uncle put an unplugged NES controller in my hands. In some ways, I've never let go. From there I took the Nintendo/PC path down gaming lane. I had a Genesis, but the only games I had were Sonic games. My favorite game growing up was Earthbound.

I am obsessed with story in video games and am always looking for the next game that makes me laugh, cry, or think. Although I also love a good mindless shooter or puzzle game here and there.
On the topic of best stories in games, I believe these titles, in no particular order, showcase what I believe to be indicative of our medium moving forward as respectable artworks.

Mother (1 2 and 3)
Metal Gear Solid (particularly 2 and 3)
Anything touched by Tim Schafer
Killer7
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
Silent Hill
Eternal Darkness
Half-Life series

More to come as I think of them.

But yeah, that's it for now. See ya around D-Toid.

Super Excellent Donkey Kong Country 2 OCRemix Album! Mooks | 6:17 PM on 03.16.2010 8 comments

Any old school fans of the Donkey Kong Country games out there? Don't listen to the naysayers if you aren't! (yes Miyamoto included) Because, not only are the games excellently designed and fun as hell, they have some of the best music on the SNES. Some great and excellent folks over at OCRemix agree with this last statement, and, due to that, we now have "Serious Monkey Business" which is a remix album of the music from Donkey Kong Country 2. The album is truly stellar. "This album is truly stellar!" - Mooks So, get on this shit and get some jollies out by entering sound candy into your earholes! Here is a great sample of the album.
