Next Review! (Oh, and I’m going to MAGFest.)

Posted on 01/04/2012

[Update: Here's my MAGFest vlog! There's also a clue at the end about my next review. ^^]

Hi, everyone! Due to some technical issues, I wasn’t able to do a Christmas review, but happily, I got things sorted out and will use the game I would’ve covered for my first review of 2012. The original script was basically a sentimental look back on a game that meant a lot to me when I was a kid — sort of like what I did with Metroid. But now, I’m reworking it into something a bit… flashier. I’ll clue you in on what it is after I get back from MAGFest and hopefully have the review itself up within a week after that.

Oh, yeah: unless something weird happens, I’m going to MAGFest this year. ^^ If I’m offline for the next several days, now you know why. I’ll be back on Monday.

Until then,

More Than A “Review”

Posted on 11/29/2011

I know some people were confused or disappointed by my video for Silent Hill 2. I kind of expected that. It isn’t cute. It isn’t fluff. And it isn’t campy. Neither is it a standard review: hence the “Gaiden” (“side story”) label and a description stating that it’s closer to a fan film. Heck, despite the fictional setting, I’m not even playing a character. There’s more “me” in this video than there probably is my vlogs. But it IS exactly what I wanted it to be, and maybe I should reveal a little of just what that means.

The main thing is I want people to watch this and reach their own conclusions. If you see symbolism or parallels (especially which draw upon the themes of Silent Hill 2, the game the video is based on), it’s probably intentional, but it’s up to you to decide what means what. I also hope someone somewhere finds something of value in it that they might’ve needed to see.

From my perspective, though, this was an exercise in a lot of things and asking lots of questions without using the words. For example, can I be more than just a dress-up doll who always wears a smiling mask to make other people comfortable? Will I still be acceptable if there’s more to me than that? Sometimes, the scariest thing in the world is just being yourself, and the most terrifying monsters are often the ones inside our heads.

I hope that clears things up a bit. But hopefully not too much.

Until next time,

More Fan Art! And my next review….

Posted on 11/16/2011

First off, the fan art! My gallery is actually starting to look like a gallery now! Two new pieces by artist Dicky Moe have been added today. Check the gallery to see them. They’re the last two on the right.

Second, the review. I’m sorry it’s taking so long, but it’s turning into something… kind of unexpected. Hopefully, the end result (which should be up by next Tuesday sometime during Thanksgiving weekend… sorry about that) will be worth the wait.

Until then….
