Got to worry about my diet too...

DoFuss has moved, or more accurately I have moved, back to the UK. After nearly seven years in Japan the time came to head home and start looking for work in the game industry seriously. It is going to be an uphill struggle. There will be thousands of people younger than me, fresh out of university with applicable skills, and thousands more with experience that I am lacking. Still should be fun, right?

As part of being back, it being a new year and being unemployed, I am attempting to become more active here and on Game People in the coming months. There is already one article here for later this week as well as two previews from TGS that I never got around to publishing previously (both fittingly of games that are about to release) and of course the final DoFuss Show coming later this month.

With many more articles in mind this site should get back to its old schedule soon, but with a few changes in content. Firstly there will be less about Japan, except by comparison. Instead expect my focus to shift towards the surprises of adapting back to life in the UK and the shocks this brings, such as game prices, the state of second-hand gaming and the general culture of our collective hobby. There may also occasionally be some slightly self-indulgent posts about my problems getting reacclimatised to (supposedly) my own society.

Keep an eye on DoFuss here for more posts later this week, and every week going forward. Sorry for the hiatus, but living back with my parents I promise I will have lots of time to make up for my previous inactivity. As has become something of a theme for post recently if you have been missing my writing and can’t wait until later this week to read some below are some links to my recent articles on Play Devil and Game People to keep you going.

Halo – Reach, Valkyria Chronicles 3, Prinny Can I Really be the Hero, Vanquish, Enslaved – Odyssey to the West, Marvel Vs Capcom 3, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron.

Alan Wake – The Writer, Sonic the Hedgehog  – Episode 1, Vanquish, King of Fighters – Sky Stage, Game of the Year Awards 2010.

Once again the Tokyo Game Show has been and gone, and for the third, and possibly final time, DoFuss visited Tokyo to bring you our impressions of the games on the floor.

Admittedly this show was originally a pre-TGS show, but all that changed when I failed to put post it in time. So after a quick chop and extra bit of extra recording we have our time travelling episode as during a single jingle we jump two weeks. Starting with the usual news and games talk we suddenly quantum leap in to TGS. With hands on (among others) Marvel vs. Capcom 3, El Shaddai, Vanquish, Valkyria Chronicles 3, Castlevania and Third Birthday, we end up with a longer show than usual, but it is packed end to end with gaming fun and discussion.

Sit back and enjoy.

We did it, two shows in one month. Darren and I are back in the saddle and ready to take you on an hour of gaming and sandwich exploration.

Kicking it off with heaven and hell, we visit the KFC Double Down (pictured above) and the problems with Japanese sandwiches. Darren reveals his new found love of Robot Unicorn Attack in what we have been playing, while I do some quick hits on a number of my recent distractions. News features a few choice topics from the last two weeks, which I hoped would enable Darren to engage in conversation about contemporary games. I wasn’t very successful. Games as art is the subject of our main discussion. Inspired by Robert Ebert recent post that declared they could never be, we talk at length about the merits of games and where we think they sit within the spectrum of art and design. And, as always, we wrap up with Darren’s Old Games.

Enjoy the show, please leave comments if you have any and feel free to get in touch if you have any suggestions or questions for us here at DoFuss. Remember to check back for the next show in two weeks.
