And
now, friends, the beginning of a new (hopefully) regular series
- the Monday Squirrel Blogging. Thankfully, Minnesota is overrun
with the lovable critters. Enjoy.
Has
GamesTM Been Paying
Me Visits?

In
the UK, there's an excellent videogames magazine called GamesTM.
Very similar in tone to Next Generation/Edge magazines: that rare
prozine that's actually aimed at adults. You know, that generation
that grew up playing games in the '80s. It's a great magazine that
is fortunately stocked at the downtown Shinder's.
Anyway,
in this month's review of Hudson's Bomberman game for the Nintendo
DS, I noticed something familiar. Each game reviewed is compared
to two similar games; one that's better, one that's worse. Bomberman
DS was listed as "worse than" Super Bomberman on the Super
NES.
Now
here's the point. Notice the picture they used for Super Bomberman?
Hmm. Isn't that from the Videogame Classics essay on Super
Bomberman 2? The very same. In the spirit of full disclosure,
I did find that picture online, but it was from an obscure site
(I can't remember where); I took it and touched it up a bit.
So
if anyone from GamesTM is visiting here, please, send a message.
Say hello. I'm available for freelancing...hellooo! Ahem.

Great
shot of Minneapolis, before the clouds rolled in and ruined everything,
and a picture from the front steps of my apartment. Again, sorry
about the bandwidth. The file size is horrible (430K).

A
lot of great pictures from downtown Minneapolis, and a great chance
to use the telephoto lens. Here's one.

Digital
has one strength over film, and that's nighttime. These shots are
taken with only natural lighting, as Michael Mann superbly demonstrated
in Collateral.

I
bought a digital camera recently, a Canon PowerShot A510, which
was released this year and is quite excellent. It's a great low-end
camera for anyone who wants to take easy shots. So I thought I'd
share a photo or two each day, and hopefully I won't destroy the
homepage file size - sorry for those of you still stuck with dial-up.
This is a really good time to switch to broadband. Anyway, enjoy.

Sorry
about my poor attendance this month; things have just been too hectic
for the last couple weeks. I'll try to get the writing together
and keep up a decent pace. |
