Blasts from the Past!

3DS users rejoice! It’s new release day, and what an exciting pair of games they are!

Granted, they’re not brand-new; Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are, of course, re-hashes of the old Advance games, updated to use the new 3D graphics engine that X and Y originated. But damn if it isn’t good to get back to nostalgia avenue!

I haven’t been this excited about a redux since… Well, SoulSilver, I suppose. Silver’s still my favourite, and I honestly don’t know why. Maybe I just have fond memories of playing it as a child? I remember going to buy SoulSilver back in uni. The guy tried to upsell me on the strategy guide. The girl to his side chuckled and said “Look at him. He’s probably played it a dozen times before.” She was not wrong, and I declined that strategy guide! read more

Stuff I like this week

Morning/afternoon/post-apocalypse, everyone!

Well, after Monday’s little outburst of non-positiveness (for which I apologise), I’d like to share with you some of the things that have cheered me up this week!

1: I got a lovely message from one of my childhood heroes this week, the wonderful Hunt Emerson, with words of praise for Elf Blood. Hunt has, predominantly, a brilliant slight surreal underground comix art style, and he worked on British comic The Beano when I was younger. I highly recommend finding copies and reading Little Plum, or even picking up a copy of the Fortean Times and checking out his Phenomenonmix page at the back! His kindness put a great big smile on my face, and I’ve felt damn good about the comic all week. Thanks again Mr. Emerson, you’re wonderful! read more

Let the disillusionment grow!

So I’ve started trying to find a date, again. This time, trying another dating site.

I’ve been told many times that dating is easy: You just need to go out, find somebody and ask them out. This advice, right enough, was given by people several shades more… Well adjusted, normal, than I. I can’t stand trying to find a date. It fills me with such dread and terror that I just drive myself into a state of complete shutdown. I’m not the world’s greatest dater, as  you may well have gleaned: I’ve only had four girlfriends, and two of them were in high school. read more

And so it begins!

Welcome to the first page of the Dreamland Arc, one and all! Hope you’re as psyched for this as I am, because I promise you an epic and troubling tale!

You may have to bear with a bit of roughness in the next few weeks, I’m afraid: Something went wrong and my machine BSOD on startup a few times before resolving itself. Unfortunately, something’s a bit hinky with the tablet, so I may need to rebuild the machine to eliminate these annoying glitches. I mean, they don’t appear to be particularly serious, and they’re certainly manageable, but I’d much rather have the device working the way it used to. read more
