When Lucasarts "stole" my games
Recent news of Ubisoft being sued for allegedly stealing the plot of Assassin's Creed from a 2002 book brought back memories of a weird episode of my life.
Back in 1997 I was in high school and I designed two Star Wars games (I just designed them, I didn't program anything, mind), one would have been a N64 game, a space combat simulator, I called it "Star Wars - Rogue Squadron", I even drew the control layout and I still have the project in a drawer. One year later Lucasarts came out with "Star Wars - Rogue Squadron", a N64 space combat simulator.
The other was a strategy game called "Star Wars - Supremacy", and sure enough, one year later Lucasarts published Star Wars Supremacy (SW Rebellion in the US).You can imagine my disbelief as I saw my ideas, which I kept to myself, being brought to life by the same company... twice in a year.
Of course they're just coincidences and nothing more, though it is pretty crazy if you think about it.
I just wish Lucasarts had kept stealing more of my boyhood ideas instead of doing... whatever they're doing now

New reviews: Alice Madness Returns and Vampire Rain
I take a look at the criminally overlooked Alice sequel and discover that the oh so hated Vampire Rain is far from the worst stealth game of this generation.

Website defines me as 'more friendly and concise than Nintendo's support'
Wow, first blog post in over 2 years
I was just browsing the web when I found a page talking about Wii technical issues, and they talk about me too. The writer quotes an answer I gave on these very boards back in 2008:
A lot of helpful ideas can be found at GameSpot's Nintendo Wii forum. For example, GameSpot member Black_Knight_00's Gamespot post is more friendly and concise than Nintendo's own support tends to be. explains, "Happened to me too, twice in a day, after two blackouts. Apparently the Wii has an internal safety system that disconnects the power supply to avoid damage in case of power shortage. It turns back on by itself after a few minutes." is his advice from his October 24, 2008 forum entry
It's a small thing, but it's nice to see someone appreciates when one tries to be helpful to another gamer.
