High Dynamic Range Lying. Gaming for Smart People. Heads Up: Carmack Speaks Out on Wolf3D Classic. Impressions: Final Fantasy XIII Demo. Cultural Assassination: Is Globalization Just Westernization? April 10, 2009. Why hasn’t Japan widely adopted the “global” shooting controls in its various games, with the exception of a few? The problem is in its colloquialism. If these controls, among a number of North American gaming conventions, are indeed commonplace and required, why do Japanese gamers not sta...

High Dynamic Range Lying: September 2006
http://hdr-lying.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 28, 2006. I intended to wait until sunday to sit down and write something thoughtful about Rocket Slime (Slime Mori Mori 2, here in japan), but having plowed through the game in under 2 days, I was worried the impression the game left with me would be lost by then. Friends had raved about the game's tank battles, so despite some initial ambivalence towards the initial level of the game, I plodded on.

Hanjuku Hero vs. 3D is a particularly interesting Hidden Gems subject for a number of reasons: I bought the special edition by chance, I’ve always wanted to play a Hanjuku Hero game, and I’ve been delaying playing this particular game more times than I can count. Sit back and relax. This is Hidden Gems. 12:08 – ...
