About Me
I will do this properly soon...

The short of it is: I started on an Atari ST back in the 80's as a little kid playing Fun School 4 (which I will still stand by as the best educational video game EVAR!) and James Pond with my little brother. Eventually I moved on to PC, specifically Lucas Arts point and click games, The Incredible Machine and Prince of Persia...cd\games\prince :D yay!

However I was converted to Nintendo upon winning a NES shortly after they had just come out. I will forever be in the debt of Golden Grahams for making me the kid who owned Super Mario Bros.

I then stood by Nintendo religiously, especially during the dark ages of N64 and Gamecube , idolizing Shigeru Miomoto as my Jesus and creator of everything fantastic. It was only when Rare were bought by Microsoft, I gave in and submitted my Gamecube to EXT3 on the back of my telly to make space for my new, shiny, bought-on-my-credit-card-and-probably-still-haven't-paid-off-credit-card Xbox.

Oh I also owned a PS2 in brief amounts to play the GTAs, and would sell it as soon as I had raped them. Seriously, I felt like I was sitting in the house with someone who had murdered my family so I just couldn't bring myself to keep the thing. Fucking aids ridden monstrosity of a chav console...

I say that, but then Little Big Planet came out and stole my heart and I now own a PS3 as well. Madness. However, even LBP has taken a backseat to Fat Princess (the only game I play on PS3, and what a game!)

This is just getting stupid: POSTER for Burnout Dominator CENSORED!

Quick post today as I am at work...

London authorities have banned a poster for the new Burnout for promoting violence and vandalism! Fucking rediculous! The ruling on Manhunt 2 seems to genuinely have opened the floodgates to this kind of shit. Gamers for Gaming FTW!

i. am. livid. does no one do their homework? does everyone just go around now saying "i find that offensive, therefore it should be taken down." granted, i haven't seen the poster in question, maybe it was a wrecked car around a telephone poll... anyway, here's the Burnout Dominator website:

see? if anything i could see someone being upset that maybe the ad campaign isn't "culturally sensitive," but otherwise... wow, just wow.

i guess we should be lucky Manhunt 2 didn't take the "inner peace through outer violence" line... though i do like the ring of it.

wow! what an awesome website! I wonder how long it will be before someone complains that it shows the asian culture in a negative light and it gets banned?
