Wii U - 1. My initial thoughts as shit unfolded

Written by Random J •
Muffin cat is not impressed | Wii U @ E3 2011

1. Zelda HD!?
Oh look. Nintendo's back to their GameCube Spaceworld tricking again. Show off a technical demo using none other than the Legend of Zelda franchise, and prick tease with the look of a Zelda game which will never materialize into a full length adventure.

2. THAT's the controller!?
Nintendo really must have liked the iPad.

3. Where is the console?
I've seen the controller. But no console. I is confused.

4. Zelda HD!
My heart piece goes out to Skyward sword, which now looks like a 3DS game compared to this.

5. The controller...
It looks big.

6. *sigh* Mii's again...
Fuck Mii's please. Just show me some legitimate games which are not Party games. This casual crap is why I turned my back on Wii in the first place.

7. That controller reminds me somewhat of...
I'm sure a member of the Dreamcast team is watching this unfold, and is talking out the side of their mouth about how they tried to do something like this 13 years ago with the VMU.

8. Hmmm... This 'Zelda HD'...
Okay. Rose coloured Majora's mask off and Lens of truth out for a second. It looks good. But it doesn't look amazing. And to be fair, this is how a Zelda game should have been looking around 3 years ago.

9. The actual console
What happened to the reveal? Why did I have to search Google images to find a picture of it!? Nintendo, you is slippin'.

    I'm still not sure what to think about all of this. Hmmm...

    I really like the WiiPad. I think it could really have a cool impact on games in both the most grandiose and subtlest of forms. My only concern is the graphical capabilities of the system. If it's not at the very least on a level with the PS3, Nintendo can go to hell.

Black refiners. We’ve gotta talk about that Milchick and Drummond moment in the Severance episode, “The After Hours”.

Written by Random J •
So, I’m watching season 2 of Severance. And as I post this, the ninth episode of the season “The After Hours” has just aired. And I really wanna talk about it. Well, I wanna talk about one moment in particular — Milchick and Drummond’s lil’ chat. Probably one of my favourite moments of the episode, which felt like the culmination of lots of Milchick moments diverging — adding a new wrinkle to a story and a world which already has more wrinkles than a newborn Shar Pei. Severance has made a commentary on a lot of things. Corporate shenanigans. Abuse of power dynamics. Sexisism. Homophobia. Religion. Consent. Control. And now I guess we can add race to the mix. Full disclaimer. To fully pre-empt and prevent being branded a liar and being misleading — the images in this post with subtitles are not official subtitles from Severance. They are subtitles I slapped on the images for extra effect and humour’s sake, in the vein of ‘What would these characters want to actually say’. I am including...

Nintendo and the Switch 2 pricing shenanigans

Written by Random J •
I am one of the few people in existence who does not own a Nintendo Switch. Y’all. Even my mum owns a Nintendo Switch. It’s crazy, because I have been with Nintendo through thick and thin and owned near-enough all of their systems. Nintendo has been a constant presence in my life. But the Wii and the Wii U left a sour taste in my mouth which made me apprehensive about buying a Switch. And because I had Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild on Wii U, I had no real incentive to buy a Switch early on. And then there was the Joy-Con drift issue which was a thing from the very beginning. But by the time the Switch had blossomed into this great system with a fantastic library of games, I figured ‘I’ll just get the rumoured Switch Pro when it drops’. Of course I knew this probably wouldn’t be the name, but I was adamant that a revised version of the Switch would release at some point and hopefully Nintendo woulda fixed them damn Joy-Cons. System redesigns mid-way through a console life cycle ha...

Game Review: Kingdom Hearts III | A mess

Written by Random J •
I typed this post after the first couple hours of playing Kingdom Hearts III, with the intent of posting it the next morning. But then I kept playing it more and more, and this post just became a near diary of my thoughts of Kingdom Hearts III. So, what was supposed to be my First impressions, became more like my first, second, third, forth, fifteenth impressions. Basically a su-   Fuck it. It’s a damn review. As if anybody gives a damn. This post isn’t that spoilerific. But there are definitely spoilers. So if you’ve not played through Kingdom Hearts III yet, then go stream “Don’t Think Twice” by Hikaru Utada on Spotify.
