The Dragon's Non Generic Blog

So it's Sunday again which means it's TNA wrestling time...well I'll have to wait until 9 tonight but yes the point still stands. I started watching TNA when it first started to broadcast on Challenge TV, a free TV channel in the UK for those that have freeview. However I had actually been watching TNA many years before in my college years seeing classic bouts between stars like AJ, Chris Daniels, Samoa Joe etc. Many interesting story lines are going on at the moment and yes before you tell me I know it's a soap opera for men.  Saying that women also watch TNA and no sport/TV show should be created purely for one sex over the other. I do personally love the fact that at the end of my Sunday I can relax and watch some TNA before the going to bed and the working week begins again. Also Challenge TV show the TNA PPV shows for free! You need pay nothing not even a banana peel to watch these great shows. However I don't recommend sending banana peels to Challenge TV ...

 It's official I have returned to youtube in style, you can view my controversial escapades here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnfOfO7j6x8 In the video I discuss my thoughts and feelings towards DRM  and always online next gen consoles.

As some of you may be aware there is a new version/remake/re imagining of the beloved Double Dragon 2 sitting snugly on your new arcade titles list. Being a huge DD fan (my favorite was always Return on the SNES) I decided to download and play the demo and hope that it erased the horror that was Double Dragon Neon from my mind.....oh how wrong I was. A truly awful combat system coupled with nasty visuals not to mention a below average frame rate (I'm sure it was doing no more than 30fps) made me go back to the dash and check that I had downloaded the right game. Turns out I had downloaded the right game and this piece of clunky clumsy excuse for a videogame was a new version of DD. All I can say is COME BACK RISE OF THE ROBOTS ALL IS FORGIVEN!!!

When people ask me "what is your ideal job" a few pop into my head. Games designer, astronaut, games designer but the one that stands out for me the most is community manager. I would love that job so much interacting with the gaming community, playing games before they get released, meeting all the hot gaming chicks and telling them of my stories as a level 59 berserk master on some RPG It's the kind of job that you dream of but seldom ever get the chance to apply for, and when an opportunity does arise you would grab it with both hands feet and anything else that comes to mind. Is anyone looking for a community manager at the moment? I have my own hair I don't take up too much space I'm compact I'm flexible (well I can get my left leg over my head) Signed The Dragon with the ps

Well it came out yesterday and I've seen the "new" endings and....well....I really didnt see the point of them changing it in the first place. I mean why did they change it due to fan pressure? Sigh.....fans dictating what should and shouldn't be in a game, there is a point where fans need to back down I feel and let the game designers do what they are paid to do. Now in some cases games designers need a good kick up the bum and need to be reminded how great games really are. Remember the 90's when devs really did love games and that love shined through in games like Mario Sonic Earthworm Jim to name but a few. And then something happened devs lost that love and the generic videogame was born. Fans had their input and it was welcome but there has to be a line drawn. A story is just that its told its retold but ultimately it never deviates to far from the original vision. In the case of bioware we MUST understand that it is THEIR story not ours. They create...

You know I never really know what to write in these blogs half the time, I find myself more often than not just typing random things. So what's been happening well I started to film a little of my horror movie today, it went really well and even managed to edit it into a short scene. What's that you wanna see it? Well I might upload it to youtube depends ;) Oh yeah someone pinched one of my business cards! Well maybe they will visit the channel in the future :P Yep that's all I can think of for the time being but stay tuned as I will keep you up to date with my film and the general goings on. Until next time...
