Right...

New Year is coming up, and I don't believe in 'resolutions' because they never work. BUT, I'm going to start posting regularly again for SGF, but with a couple of changes.

The first being that my technique of having what is essentially a random number generator choose what games I'm playing...isn't the best way to do things. From now on, I'm in full control of what I play. I've already decided what game I'm going to "re-start" with. This doesn't mean I'm going to abandon Rayman, I will make them bonus content, but first I've gotta work on regular content.

Second of all I want to introduce a few 'one-offs' and side-projects eventually, I've got a few ideas but I'm still working on them. In addition, I'm definitely going to try and work more with video.

This is more for me to remind myself to get my ass in gear. Bring it on, 2013!

Since I finished Crash Bandicoot rather quickly, I decided I may as well try something special for the next game. So, I'm currently editing together a little 'preview' video.

It was just meant to be a silly, funny little thing. I've definitely got the silly...don't know about 'funny' or 'well-edited' or even 'competently-edited'.

But in a way...it perfectly sums up how I'm going to play the next game...pretty badly.

Video Game Songs I Like #12 - Building Mode 1 - The Sims

The Sims is, and always has been, awesome. I'm not the most creatively talented guys, but any game that gives you the amount of freedom that The Sims does will lead to some amazing things. While I still think The Sims 2 is the best one, the original still has a charm that cannot be beat and I think a large amount of that comes from the music.

The music in the series these days is all very lively, which is fitting for the (good kind of) silliness that The Sims is famous for, but the genuinely fantastic pieces of music that plays whenever your buying or building in the first game just cannot be beat. I chose this one to represent the game purely because the music brings me back ten years ago, half of my life ago, when I got this game. Music has the ability to pick at the locks of memories, and this song is the Jill Valentine, the master of unlocking, of video game music.

Parable Games

A friend of mine recently did a piece on a gaming website he writes for about Super Game Fighter. You can view this here: http://www.parablegames.net/site/2012/10/blogspace-super-game-fighter/

The site itself has some quality content, as well as a weekly podcast you can catch on their YouTube channel. Seriously check them out if you're a gamer.

An Intro to Super Game Fighter!

Super Game Fighter is a little hobby of mine, that is designed to support another hobby of mine. Basically, the whole point of SGF is that I have too many damn games that I've never finished, or not even looked at. It's time to change that. For the past five months (though largely neglected in the summer due to work commitments), I've been blogging about what I've been playing here:  http://supergamefighter.blogspot.co.uk/

Basically, what I do is pick a game at random (using the "Fortune Cookie" feature of Backloggery) and I play it 'til the finish. That's all. I generally just type about my experiences playing the game and provide some pretty pictures to go along with it. I'm hoping to get videos up as well, but I've hit a stumbling block due to the fact I seemingly have a phobia of hearing my own voice. Which isn't handy.

As I said, I was working full-time up until I re-started college, so I've not completed a lot of games. I'm currently playing through Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3&Knuckles. Just about finished Sonic 2 as I type this.

I'll probably use Tumblr to cross-post as well as some extra stuff if I'm feeling especially frisky that day.
