About Me


Yo. I just graduated from Syracuse University, with a major in Television/Film at the Newhouse School.

I love video games, gaming/nerd culture, examining games critically as an art form, and all the useless trivia and data surrounding games. I am a consumer whore. Gaming is obviously one of my primary hobbies, though not the only one. I'm a regular on Failcast.

I also watch anime and read manga when I get the chance. It's mostly just mainstream and shonen stuff as a result of the ease of accessibility, though I try to see some more obscure series when I get the chance.

I have epic hair.

I play bass guitar and have been in a band. It's broken up. I lived the dream.

I love rock. I tend to gravitate towards various types of punk, alternative, or indie, though I'll listen to anything. Bob Dylan rocks. Also, random weird underground stuff. The NES sound chip was amazing.

Former XBLA game moves to Wii, looks cool

I'm wondering if the Wii is going to become a frequent home to enhanced Xbox Live Arcade ports. First they announced Geometry Wars Galaxies for the system. Now comes news from Kotaku of Eternity's Child moving to the Wii because of size constraints. You play the game as Angel, who had his wings cut off to prevent his possible murder. To quote the press release:

"The story of Eternitys Child and the orphan 'Angel' - the planet on which Eternity's Child is set on. The planet was once filled with many living creatures and vast forests, however due to the pollution created by the habitants the icebergs melted and the whole planet was flooded and most of the creatures became extinct. The creatures without wings that were left became jealous of the ones with wings (that allowed them to survive the flooding), so the land creatures started murdering all the winged creatures until there was none left. To repopulate the world, many mechanical robots were created so that the world would not seem as empty as before, but most of those creatures got out of control and started attacking and destroying what was left."

What's interesting is that the entire game will be hand-drawn and the animation will also be drawn frame by frame like the traditional animation of yesteryear. It will also have fully orchestrated music.

The game does look charming and might be the type of indie release the Wii should be receiving more of these days - at a reduced price, of course. Strangely enough, there will also be a DS version, but it will be a 3D platformer. Not sure how that's going to pan out.

Yeah, reduced price is going to have a lot to do with how interested I am in this title.

@ Mxyzptlk

I didn't notice right away, but the game is fully hand-drawn like a cartoon, so unless it's a completely full-price game, it might be worth it just to support that kind of outdated art design.

Don't think the background is 3D either, from looking at pictures. I'm pretty sure it's all 2D animation, since the press release made a point of emphasizing that.
