Nintendo guru wants more happy games. See, that pretty much encapsulates my whole issue with the video games industry. There are just too many “dark” games based on violence and horror. I want to play fun stuff that challenges while still making me smile.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I hear ya sister. Wiii seemed like a pretty strange name for a console when I first heard it, but it’s impossible to say without smiling. Fancy a game of online doubles? I am pretty crap – so you have a good chance of winning….
I don’t think you can play versus each other online yet… but send me your Wii friend code so I can add you and see your little guys!
I kinda liked the alternating dark/light (or happy/eerie) chapters of Zelda: TP. It kept either atmosphere from getting too stale. (I would elaborate, but I don’t want to give anything away. It seems way too nerdy to call “spoilers” on a video game comment.)
Super Mario 2 is still my favorite gave of all time. I may get a DS just so I can play it whenever I want.
Appreciated, patrick, seeing as how we’re, like, less than a quarter of the way through it… 🙂
My favourite games are:
Harvest Moon – farming sim
Mario Kart – silly racing
I’m not really into any wii games, as of yet. 🙁
