Paperback City: December 2010
http://paperbackcity.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Book Reviews and Other Musings. End of Year Round Up 2010. Here we are at the end of another year, and once more Paperback City has been neglected in favour of the endless frivolities of the Christmas season. I've been more focused on eating and drinking and family time than reading of late, but I'm pretty pleased overall that I've managed a few good reviews and read a pile of excellent books this year. 2 I Am Legend. 3 The Witches of Eastwick. 5 The Full Cupboard of Life. 6 The Man Who Fell to Earth.

If someone came up to you and earnestly told you that the acting in a movie didn’t matter you’d probably laugh in their face. After all it’s not the cinematographers and editors who get payed the big bucks in Hollywood it’s the stars. Movies are made or broken by the ability of actors to bring us into the drama. And yet:. But What Kind of Art? This brings me to my point.

Videogames, Excess, and the Palace of Wisdom. Archive for December, 2010. When I Play Super Meat Boy. On December 30, 2010 1 Comment. I never let go of the run button. I sit 8 inches closer to the screen. I use a keyboard (because I am an idiot). I chew my bottom lip. I do trigonometry and calculus at the speed of light. I spend half the time on autopilot. I savor the squishy wet slap of my run. I get sick of ‘Princess in Another Castle’ jokes. I stay up till 4:00 AM. I get sick of all the retro-fetish.

Note to potential readers: If you don’t find the philosophy of language interesting then you can kindly fuck off. Wittgenstein once observed that it is impossible to define the term ‘game’. Oh sure we all think we know what the word means, however, when you really sit down and think about it it soon becomes a hopeless task. Are games fun? We don’t need one. Weirdly tha...

Videogames, Excess, and the Palace of Wisdom. Archive for December, 2009. On December 18, 2009. Now days when I catch the train I see more people playing videogames than reading books. There are yuppies tapping away at iPhones, young boys catching them all on their DSs and punk rock grrls with purple hair and PSPs. Certainly a lot of the games they’re playing are trashy time wasters but then most of the people I see reading are not exactly boning up on the classics either. That figure is an actually an.

I went back to university and it’s taken ages to get used to the routine, hence no posts. Anyway to fix that I figured I’d just post some quick thoughts on some games I played since last time we met.
