Another Example of Why I’m the Worst Gamer Ever

August 20, 2009

Via an instant messenger conversation today… Charm:have you played Gunpey? Me: no.. Charm: its on ds. Charm: so addictive! Me: Ahhh. I don’t have a DS anymore :-) Me: How does it work? Charm: its lines and triangles that need to be lined up to make a line across the screen. Me: SOLD

Five Reasons Why I Won’t be Renewing my Xbox Live Subscription

August 18, 2009

My taste in videogames is possibly the worst you’ve ever come across. My enthusiasm wanes if a game doesn’t involve matching three coloured gems, desk-gnawingly pointless trivia contests or repetitive actions set to music (let me tell you about my embarrassingly laser-precise Dance Dance Revolution skills some time). Console games are something I’ve only ever [...]

Media Watch: The Video Game

April 14, 2009

My love of Media Watch seems to border on the sexual. The vitriol, the hypocrisy, the ongoing battles against familiar targets… it seems to be the stuff of video games. In fact, I’d gladly buy a Media Watch Fighter II video game! Just think about the possible characters in the game… Playable Characters: Jonathan Holmes [...]

UNO as Inspiration for Government Legislation: Another Reason I Should Never Persue Politics

March 29, 2009

Do you need proof that I’m a incredibly lame gamer? Here’s two quick facts: 1. I was counting down the days until the Australian version of Buzz was finally released last week, and belted to the closest JB HiFi to buy it, ike a German Shepherd suddenly spotting the ocean. 2. After pondering the possibility [...]

Missing in A*ction

February 10, 2009

Writing about Ian Turpie yesterday got me reminiscing about other game shows… specifically, older childrens’ game shows. It cannot be denied that James Sherry of A*mazing fame was ahead of his time. In 1994, there was a sense of inevitability that the future would involve fucking gigantic keyboards we’d need to navigate around at high [...]

Back in the Day, When You Could Take Out Someone’s Shin With a Gigantic 1980s Game Boy

October 25, 2008

As someone who used to almost sexualise video game systems as a kid (hey, when you think expressing some dude-on-dude bromance in high school will cause you insta-beatings, Sonic the Hedgehog doesn’t seem like such a bad alternative), it’s rather surprising that my interest in video games has waned as an adult. For all my [...]

If You Thought Nickelback Couldn’t Get Any Worse…

March 27, 2006

It’s two weeks ago now, but we had a great send-off from our Woolloomooloo crew the night before we flew down to Melbourne. Our mate Julian hosted the do – he used to be a barrister. Fortunately, for the sake of the entire postcode region’s safety, Adam managed to find Julian’s old barrister gear, and [...]

Mario Kartquarium

February 26, 2006

It appears that I have reverted back to the don’t-post-for-weeks phase of this blog. I’ll have much more time on my hands once we move to Melbourne in two weeks, so expect more substantial posting then. Don’t abandon me or I’ll commence relentless, heartless Jessica Rowe-style cackling! There really will be a lot more spare [...]

Blind In One Eye, Stung In The Other

January 10, 2006

First, I was busy having an unexplained anxiety attack. Then a arrogantly career-climbing mosquito just stung me ON THE EYLID. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not my evening. I’m off to continue playing The Movies until I can work out how to turn my studio into a polygon-tastic gay pr0n mecca. I’m sure there’s a [...]

Dickhead the Dog

October 23, 2005

I’ve been trying to post here more often, but my new role at work has seen me pounding away furiously at a PC seven days a week. So I’m not being lame, I do have intentions to post here… I just hardly feel like getting home after a long day of blinking in front of [...]
