So yeah, remember that post about the triumphant return of DoFuss? It not far back, maybe four posts… and two months ago. Not so successful I am sure you will agree. It isn’t that I have stopped gaming, in fact I have been playing more, its just the little time I have had in my last months in Japan are being directed at enjoying my time rather than maintaining the site. My editors on other sites however have still been requesting content so out of a desire to keep them happy I have some writing has been dabbled in (and because if I did nothing there it the possibility I would either drink myself to death or fall in to a pit of self pity at my inability to fulfil even my own mediocre goals) so here are links to a few of them.

With that said there is a podcast here waiting to be edited, and a string of articles planned that I may find time to write as soon as I ship all my consoles back to the UK later this month leaving me with little else to do. So if you are interested in DoFuss content keep an eye on here. If, however, you are interested in any of my digital scribblings cast your eyes over the links bellow to catch up with some of the games I have been playing and my opinions of them. Also you may notice among the below links a portal to the Independent’s website, funny story there, my work on Gamepeople was quoted but I don’t honestly know if the quote makes any sense or if I simply was drunk/having a dyslexic moment when I wrote it, I mean, ‘convincingly scary’?

Yakuza 3, Death Spank, Blur, Contra 4, Limbo, Otomedius Excellent, Split Second, Sonic 4 – Episode 1, Vanquish.

Alan Wake – The Signal, Demon’s Souls, Death Spank, Limbo, Halo Reach, Castlevania – Harmony of Despair, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Ni No Kuni, Castlevania – Lord of Shadows.

Deadly Premonition

Recently the show has been in a state of flux. Regulars will no doubt have noticed, and any newer listeners who have heard more than two episodes will probably have been confused, by the total shifts in tone between shows. So to try and inject some stability to proceedings Darren and I have made a commitment to get back to the usual fortnightly format with just the two of us. Our theory is if we can’t provide quality we should at least aim for consistency.

With such a long break since Darren’s last outing we spend a little time getting reacquainted then it’s down to the game discussion. Having played plenty of games we handout some off the cuff opinions and then hit up the last months big news stories giving our own views, suggestions and fabrications (well factual errors to be more accurate). After that it is on to a quick featurette in which we discus the trails of localising with regards to Sega’s Western release of Yakuza 3. Finally we round it off with the long awaited return of Darren’s Old Games, which this time is Street Fighter The Movie (The Game).

Enjoy the show, and be sure to check back in two weeks to see if Darren and I can make good on our new commitment.

Dan is taking over. Really there is very little I can do. He swept in here with his fast-talking, smooth segueing ways, and now he is calling the shots. I will continue as a figurehead of the site only. All hail our new master.

Here hit discuss our recent visit to ‘Game Japan Festa’, plenty of news, and of course the games we have been playing.

Hopefully the coup will be unsuccessful and Darren will be back for a ‘normal’ show in time for Christmas. In the meantime keep your self entertained with this hour and a half of edited highlights. Enjoy.

Okay, I have finally taken over the reigns of editing, which is why the latest podcast is a tad late. Think I have it all down though, so here’s hoping you won’t notice much of a difference.

During the course of this show we manage to talk about institutionalization… and drugs… and sandwiches, all without diverging from the usual format of news and features. Frakesy, Darren’s old games and the song challenge are back as always and are joined this week by discussion of game prices.

A few extra notes. Every time I say Acclaim I mean Activision. It is a mistake I used to make when I was thirteen, I do not know why its rematerializing now. Also there is no such thing as morphium, thing my brain created a lovely mix of morphine and opium.

I really want a sandwich.

Enjoy the show.
