High Dynamic Range Lying. Gaming for Smart People. Heads Up: Carmack Speaks Out on Wolf3D Classic. Impressions: Final Fantasy XIII Demo. Cultural Assassination: Is Globalization Just Westernization? April 10, 2009. Why hasn’t Japan widely adopted the “global” shooting controls in its various games, with the exception of a few? The problem is in its colloquialism. If these controls, among a number of North American gaming conventions, are indeed commonplace and required, why do Japanese gamers not sta...

Cleaning Up Our Act: The Power of a Single Word | High Dynamic Range Lying
https://trin746.wordpress.com/2012/06/16/cleaning-up-our-act-the-power-of-a-single-word
High Dynamic Range Lying. Gaming for Smart People. Why is the iPhone failing in Japan? Cleaning Up Our Act: The Power of a Single Word. June 16, 2012. Language can be a powerful thing. Language has toppled governments, made grown men cry, and helped two people fall in love. Language has a strong control over the human mind, and a single word has the power to change one’s perception of the world forever. The use of gay as a pejorative was simply shocking. It’s important to note that most unofficial video ...

High Dynamic Range Lying. Gaming for Smart People. Heads Up: Metal Gear Solid Touch is out! Cultural Assassination: Is Globalization Just Westernization? Heads Up: Carmack Speaks Out on Wolf3D Classic. March 29, 2009. That said, the most interesting aspect of the game’s release is creator and id Software programming guru John Carmack’s post mortem designer’s notes on the conception, birth and creation of the tiny project. It even has its fair share of absolute hilarity:. And I had fun doing it. You are c...

Games and Life: November 2007
http://gamesandlife.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
About gaming, novels, and entertainment in general! Plus life in Japan! Sunday, November 25, 2007. Alright, it has been awhile since I last updated here on Games and Life. But, I have a very good reason. I got addicted to WoW! So, instead of turning this into my WoW’s characters’ blog I just took some time off. But a slew of 360 games have entered the area to battle for my free time and now I am juggling them and one DS game, working on my comic book and WoW. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Dribble of Ink.

Games and Life: A Shot of Tequila
http://gamesandlife.blogspot.com/2007/09/shot-of-tequila.html
About gaming, novels, and entertainment in general! Plus life in Japan! Monday, September 24, 2007. A Shot of Tequila. Here I was getting all set to make a Zelda review and then my copy of Stranglehold came to my house. Between Stranglehold, WoW, creating a comic to publish, and reading the wonderful novel “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell” by Susanna Clarke; Zelda has sadly been neglected quite a bit. But this will give me a chance to talk about John Woo’s Stranglehold! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

High Dynamic Range Lying. Gaming for Smart People. Heads Up: Japanese Wii Launch Cometh. Sneak Peek: Persona 3 Design Works. Review: ファミコン探偵倶楽部2 (Famicom Detective Club 2). December 5, 2006. While much of the game’s investigations tend to center around Ushimitsu High school, the player will travel all over the city, from the main drag downtown, to the homes of high school alums. Players have their wits at their disposal, asking questions to squeeze more information out of each character, as well as t...

High Dynamic Range Lying. Gaming for Smart People. Den Den Clean Up Part VI: Ys Edition. Waypoints and Quest Logs: Moving the JRPG Forward. Hidden Gems: Hanjuku Hero vs. 3D. March 13, 2009. Hanjuku Hero vs. 3D is a particularly interesting Hidden Gems subject for a number of reasons: I bought the special edition by chance, I’ve always wanted to play a Hanjuku Hero game, and I’ve been delaying playing this particular game more times than I can count. Sit back and relax. This is Hidden Gems. 12:08 – ...
