The truth about Kirby

Originally designed as a weapon by the star warriors, Kirby was intended to be one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy. He was meant to be an unstoppable force that would destroy anything in his wake. However, he was awakened on dreamland millions of years before it was intended. He is merely a shadow of the weapon he intended to be. Yet, look at the power he has. The things he's done and the abilities he possesses. Imagine that power, multiplied by thousands, or millions. He has a power unlike anything else, the power to replicate and change DNA. So...still think Kirby is that adorable pink ball?

R18+

At long last Australia has the go ahead for an R18+ rating for video games. Without the constant opposition of ONE PARTICULAR POLITICIAN!! us aussie gamers can finally revel in the luxury of having an adult rating. This means the really serious gamers of legal age can enjoy games without having them censored or nerfed or even banned in Australia. This isn't really a problem for Nintendo as they don't really release games that are adult, but for the whole world of gaming as a collective, the leap forward is almost monumental. The rest of the world has had am R18+ rating for ages, so once again Australia has finally caught up.

Odd don't you think?

Most games go for an attempt at realism as we know. Some retain their focus on being crazy fun, but overall most games do this. After all, it's why we want graphics to be good right? That way we feel as though the world we've stepped into could be real. Metroid, Zelda, even Pokemon all maintain some sort of realism that we all imagine to be part of a living breathing universe. In a game, we want to feel as though we are performing the action done on screen to make us feel like we have a footprint in the world. So, as games strive to be realistic with smooth controls, appropriate worlds, believable characters and graphics, one game that consistently breaks this trend is Mario. There is almost nothing realistic about it! The graphics are cartoonish, the story is beyond simple, the level design looks like a game and not like an actual world, so why is it so fun? I have trouble answering this question myself. Mario is one of my favourite game series and yet it is so strange in how it is made. My only answer is that maybe for the Japanease the stuff that goes down in Mario's world is actually Hyper Realism. Maybe...

Pokemon and its weirdness 2

PaTROLLING the waters of Pokemon Emerald, I am challenged to a girl who says: "I'm wearing a bathing suit. Where do I keep the Pokeballs? Tee-hee, Woman's secret"


uh...


Has anyone noticed a few weird things about to supposedly kid-friendly game? Like, how this game teaches you about dating a girl. Pokemon rewards you with a girl's own phone number if you beat up her pet and take her money. Hardly suitable life lessons. 
Pokemon also teaches us that catching animals and locking them in PC's for the rest of their life is acceptable, when it is not so by any standards in a humane video game. BTW, how does storing an animal in a PC actually work? Twelve bucks to anyone who tells me.
In Gold, they introduced the day and night system. This was meant to make the world feel real and like your adventure was progressing a long time and not just over the course of one never ending day. But, most of these people in the world remain in the same place. Doesn't anyone sleep? Like, I'm pretty sure it's necessary for human survival...right?


Professor Oak: "Don't go into the grass, it's too dangerous!" However, Oak doesn't protest when you go and take on a criminal organisation like Team Rocket. These guys are anything but clever. They are supposed to be mean, lean fighting machines who can best any foe through their sheer power...using Rattata and Zubat. And speaking of Zubats (attacked by Zubat in cave) there sure are (attacked by Zubat in cave) a lot of them. It's (attacked by Zubat in cave) like they're everywhere. You can't (attacked by Zubat in cave) take (attacked by Zubat in cave) a (attacked by Zubat in cave) single (attacked by Zubat in cave) STEP WITHOUT MEETING ONE. (attacked by Zubat in cave)


When you really think about it, those Pokemon are darn cute. Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Mew, even Magby. But do you ever stop to think; of the only animals in the world are Pokemon...what are you really eating for dinner?
