How to Stop Whining About Any Game.

We all gamers by nature have reasons to whine, some reasons make sense, others are horseshit, but still most of the times it is all horseshit. There has been raving about every single kind of game I have ever seen now, but will there be ...

There Are No Sequels, Just Expansions.

Remember when you were young in the '80s or '90s when you played your first games? Wasn't it something incredible to see such a complex invention were you were doing something for the TV instead of it doing the show for you? Remember how ...

 
 
 
 

Make Peace With Venus

[Note: This is a resubmission of an old entry for the Untapped Potential musing we had months ago. I am resending this because I feel this is an issue I want more people to talk about.] For over 30 years, the videogame industry has been ...

 
 
 
 

Nothing is Sacred: Daltonism

You might remember E3 2005, we were introduced to all that was coming for next generation and we could barely contain it because it was emulating a lot of realistic details like the palette in real life. There is something we cannot deny,...

 
 
 
 
 

Video Game Tropes that get me sold

Hello, I am a Medic.

For a decent time, I have been into the role of burning things when I was first recruited into the job of working for nastily rich companies, but just recently I decided to try something more demanded and way interesting. Due to it is tha...

My games, my passion, the right way?

What the Sega Dreamcast means for a Nintendo fanboy.

I'll be simple. I fucking love Nintendo, but I think there is nothing to be embarrassed with it because almost everybody does. But back then that was a stronger thing to say. For many, the Sega Dreamcast meant the ultimate system and the...

 
 
 
 

Introducing "Maestro! Jump in Music"

So... ummm the PS3Slim is real after all! [failblog]

Amazing! That means two things, for once, it must be cheaper and way more accesible to everyone (like me, OMG) On the other side... That also means we need a new reason to hate it. People still hate the Wii for the capacity and graphic...

 
 

About Monodione of us since 10:46 PM on 10.15.2008



About time I updated this freaking thing!

For those who already know me, I am Monodi. Those who doesn't, well, I am Monodi.

I got such a growing passion of gaming through the years and now I am currently in college starting my courses of Game Design as well!

I consider myself a Nintendo fanboy from all my life, but I have been much more in contact with titles for PC recently. Not that I am abandoning one, but I think it pretty much could cover the best the industry has to offer.

I am up for the philosophy that gameplay is more important than graphics, but I think graphics and technology are also a crucial part of the industry and experience even.
