Nintendo Fears Change

Nintendo still hasn’t gotten their online shit together. Sega did it best with their multi-lingual PSO, Microsoft has the best reliable experience, Sony sucks with online, and Nintendo doesn’t even try.

Tron Revisited

When I was a kid I used to daydream about being able to turn the world into vectors like in the Tron movie. I never developed this mutant skill, tho it’s probably for the best.

Rain in Japan

You’ll notice in this one I experimented with a different face angle. It didn’t turn out well, and I never tried it again. Fear Change! Fear it!

Humming Birds

I thought this one was hilarious. No one else agreed.

The Intro

Dig that Retro Style! In the beginning I wasn’t sure how I was going to do this comic, and this ugly mess is what I tinkered with. It was a case of “just do SOMETHING, or you’ll never do ANYTHING”. Some people prefer it, but they’re stupid.

GDC News

InsertCredit has some of the best writeups of the conferences at the recently held Game Developers Conference I’ve seen. Go check them out. Don’t forget to hate them just a little for having such good content all the damned time.

Anatomy of a Joystick

I’ve put together a page on the Anatomy of a Joystick, the first in a series of articles about controls (I hope!). Enjoy, and let me know if there’s anything that might need to be changed.

Strange Saturn Internals

Of interest only to the techy geeks, I found a strange new Saturn. It’s not especially rare, but it uses a Sanyo CD mechanism, which is sort of weird (the majority are JVC).

Interesting SNES Demo Cart

I bought a few EPROM boards from someone recently and some had chips on them. Turns out it’s a 1996 Tokyo Toy Show version of Nazo Puyo 2, with new special screens, but missing about one third of the content in the released game. It’s kind of neat.
