Well, its been some time since I wrote, so I will post a bit of an update and hopefully I can resume blogging more frequently.

Recently its been very busy at work, finishing up work on PixelJunk Eden. It should be out really soon, I’m excited for people to start playing it.

Why is it so difficult to keep blogging?

It seems like the worth of rambling upon a given topic is too low at most times, and not worth the effort. However, I’m sure blogging provides and requires momentum, thus, it’s time for a new post.

So I’ll be heading to Japan early next year, that should be interesting. There will probably be lots of neat (crazy?) stuff to blog about… it seems like quite a unique place. I’m excited to see the level of tech around, it seems so high, and so much further ahead for mobile computing devices.

It’s interesting to think that Japan after WW2 was in the sort of position that China is in now, being a source of cheap labour for other countries. After seeing how Japan has progressed to now, I wonder where China will be in the next 50 years. A country the size of China, with a rate of advancement like that of modern Japan would be pretty enormous in the scale of things. Huge amounts of awesome research and technology progress, moving us humans towards redundancy much faster. Fun times!

So there was a nice link on slashdot today, where Trent Reznor was telling people to steal his music because the media corporation that owned it were charging excessively high prices in australia. It’s in the first few minutes of this video.

I’ve noticed that video games are also becoming excessively expensive in australia, it seems that although the value of the US dollar is plummeting faster than a bad analogy, the prices for products from there seem to stay the same here. Typically you can buy a video game for roughly 50USD (65AUD~) and yet it is 100AUD in EB stores around here. What a rip-off. It’s still cheaper for me to import Wii games from the UK (by about 10-15AUD, even after shipping) because of a similar excessive pricing — and all without having to even get up and go to the store. Yay internets.

The most awesomely named wii game is being developed: Ninjabread Man. So awesome. Seems like the game was out on PC in 2005, but the wii version will no doubt be more cool. There’s a lack of cool sword games on the Wii, and definitely a lack of light saber games. I’d still love to play Bleach, but thanks to region locking *shakes fist*, that won’t be happening for a while, until the mod community can free my console. If you buy a wii now, I recommend purchasing an NTSC region wii from the US or Japan, and modding that, because it will be able to play PAL games. Purchasing a PAL Wii and modding it will get approximately 70% compatibility with NTSC region games. Blech.

Ninja Gaiden DS looks extremely impressive, this gametrailer video on kotaku has some footage of the fighting.. it looks quite like the XBox1 version of Ninja Gaiden, which was awesome to the max.

Lots of EB and Harvey Norman stores seem to have fury stands, keep an eye out!
