About the old me
Hey. My old blog, Waves, is gone. Here are the old “About Me” pages.
They are no longer relevant to me, my mission or my desires.
Devil May Cry 3 Review
This Devil May Cry 3 review was written for Poopgang back in 2005 (or thereabouts). Unfortunately I've lost the original images I made for it (I liked to use thin vertical slices of image back then, to break the chunks of text up), but I'll pop a few relevant ones in, just so it's not a fucking massive block of…
Devil May Cry 2 review
I remember how bad this game was. I remember how hurt I was. It still hurts. Format: Playstation 2 Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Release: March 2003 A good sequel will add new aspects to the original. New techniques, new weapons, new characters… Devil May Cry adds all these things in the form of Lucia, an alternate playable character with new…
Devil May Cry review
Today I'll reproduce the Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2 reviews, then tomorrow, as some kind of finale, will be the Devil May Cry 3 review, where I gush for hours and hours. Format: Playstation 2 Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Release: December 2001 They say that the greatest trick the Devil ever played was to convince the World…
.hack review
This review was written for Poopgang in 2005. The original screenshots were mostly lost, these new ones are from Neoseeker. Format: Playstation 2 Developer: CyberConnect2 Publisher: Atari Release: 26th March 2004 .hack//infection, .hack//mutation, .hack//outbreak, .hack//quarantine. A series of four “online”, yet most definitely offline, role playing games where you play a character that plays an online game. Sound confusing? To…
Final Fantasy X-2 review
Again, written for Poopgang. I found the "slices" (as I liked to call them) for this one. For some reason I didn't mind the dithering caused by saving them as gifs. Format: Playstation 2 Developer: Square Enix Publisher: Electronic Arts Release: February 2004 Final Fantasy. One of the oldest videogame franchises that still has that special something. The series began…
Bujingai Swordmaster review
Blah, blah, review, blah, blah, Poopgang, blah, blah, 2005. You know the drill. Format – PS2 Developer – Taito/Red Entertainment Publisher – 505 Gamestreet Release – February 2005 What is it with Japanese rock stars and videogames? First Takeshi Kaneshiro provided the image and voice for Samanosuke in Onimusha, and now the effeminate heart-throb Gackt has provided his likeness for…
Going back in time
With reference to the title, later this week it's actually my 5th year anniversary of blogging. I know I missed a fair old chunk in the middle there, but still, five years ago I had the idea for the Bloggers section on Poopgang and started putting my thoughts onto the internet. To celebrate this I thought I'd trawl back through…
Darwinia+
My God I used to love this game. Years ago it was one of the only games I ever bothered to play on the PC, mainly because our PC was rubbish and this had low required specifications. But my God, I never thought I'd see an Xbox 360 version. Shame I can't afford it right now, I spent my last…
Poopgang no more
Sillysprout has decided to close Poopgang. The exact reasons are complex, but the basic jist is that some members weren't happy at the level of administration being done by the man in green, so Aneurin demanded that Sprout handed control of the forum over to him or he'd take half the community elsewhere. Sprouty declined, citing that they were not…
