December will see the last DoFuss Show with my return from Japan to the UK. As I won’t be in the ‘land of the rising sun’ any more, the opening lyrics claim that I am ‘the number one gaijin, the man in Japan who can’ will become hopelessly inaccurate so (as we can’t be bothered to rewrite the theme tune) we decided to cancel the show. podcast Alex and Darren yes no http://dofuss.net/2010/08/09/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-the-patchwork-quilt-of-podcasts/ http://dofuss.net/2010/08/09/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-the-patchwork-quilt-of-podcasts/#comments Mon, 09 Aug 2010 10:27:26 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=2399 http://dofuss.net/2010/08/09/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-the-patchwork-quilt-of-podcasts/feed/ 9 0:42:41 No sooner said than done, the site is back on track and so is the DoFuss Show as Darren and I return once again with our own inimitable brand of game coverage.

This is an idea put forward by Jane McGonigal, a designer at the Institute for the Future, during her talk at TED in February. While it may seem like a bizarre idea, much of what she said got me thinking that there maybe something to it, as did looking at her online games that have been designed to harness the power of the game playing public for good. news, podcast Alex and Darren yes no http://dofuss.net/2010/05/14/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-trying-to-bridge-cultural-divides/ http://dofuss.net/2010/05/14/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-trying-to-bridge-cultural-divides/#comments Thu, 13 May 2010 18:13:07 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=2239 http://dofuss.net/2010/05/14/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-trying-to-bridge-cultural-divides/feed/ 2 1:14:40 This show’s unintentional theme is cultural divides.

With me returning to the UK later this year Darren decided to prepare me for re-entry with terrifying snippets from the British tabloid ‘The Sun’. While this is an apt reintroduction to the state of my home nation, I cannot help but feel there is a veiled message from Darren to stay in the land of sushi and fun that is Japan.

We spend most of our time catching up on the last few months events and our respective holiday breaks but in the process we do touch on lots of games in-between our stories. As I said last show do not expect Dans wonderfully detailed show notes every week, and this week serves only to reaffirm that declaration. I can tell you that you can expect us to talk about all the games we played recently, Red Dwarf, bad commercials, me pissing myself, me being taunted by hordes of nerds, the upcoming 2010 releases and our vacations. Unfortunately even with Darren back there is no Frakkers this show, but we do have some music and the return of Darrens Old Games. Hopefully 2010 will mark a more regular schedule for The DoFuss Show as we stream line the formula, but we make no promises. Enjoy the show and keep an eye on the site this month for some gaming memories of the last ten years. I am trying to get back in to oil painting, Darren insists on Twitpic updates so keep an eye on that if you care. podcast Alex and Darren no no http://dofuss.net/2009/10/27/tokyo-game-show-2009-wrap-up/ http://dofuss.net/2009/10/27/tokyo-game-show-2009-wrap-up/#comments Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:49:20 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=1755 http://dofuss.net/2009/10/27/tokyo-game-show-2009-wrap-up/feed/ 1 http://dofuss.net/2009/04/12/jumping-on-the-bandwagon/ http://dofuss.net/2009/04/12/jumping-on-the-bandwagon/#comments Sun, 12 Apr 2009 10:34:40 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=967 http://dofuss.net/2009/04/12/jumping-on-the-bandwagon/feed/ 7 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/27/fashion/ http://dofuss.net/2009/03/27/fashion/#comments Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:37:05 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=890 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/27/fashion/feed/ 1 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/25/tatsunoko-%e3%82%bf%e3%83%84%e3%83%8e%e3%82%b3-vs-capcom-wii/ http://dofuss.net/2009/03/25/tatsunoko-%e3%82%bf%e3%83%84%e3%83%8e%e3%82%b3-vs-capcom-wii/#comments Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:29:17 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=875 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/25/tatsunoko-%e3%82%bf%e3%83%84%e3%83%8e%e3%82%b3-vs-capcom-wii/feed/ 3 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/15/resident-evil-5biohazard-5-ps3-360/ http://dofuss.net/2009/03/15/resident-evil-5biohazard-5-ps3-360/#comments Sat, 14 Mar 2009 20:21:41 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=786 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/15/resident-evil-5biohazard-5-ps3-360/feed/ 4 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/11/street-fighter-4-%e2%80%93-home-version-update-update/ http://dofuss.net/2009/03/11/street-fighter-4-%e2%80%93-home-version-update-update/#comments Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:59:50 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=772 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/11/street-fighter-4-%e2%80%93-home-version-update-update/feed/ 1 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/01/street-fighter-iv-%e2%80%93-home-version-update/ http://dofuss.net/2009/03/01/street-fighter-iv-%e2%80%93-home-version-update/#comments Sat, 28 Feb 2009 18:38:21 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=674 http://dofuss.net/2009/03/01/street-fighter-iv-%e2%80%93-home-version-update/feed/ 5
