Learning To Design With Baha : Let's Talk About Tiles (Part1)

Learning To Design With Baha : Let’s Talk About Tiles (Part1)

Hi I’m Baha, a slowly developing artist…?  wait my field’s music.  Hi I’m Baha, a slowly developing musician…? hold on does it count if I can’t play an instrument?  Hi I’m Baha, a slowly developing general designer.  I want to make a kickass game one day and a guy needs his assets.

The title might be confusing so just to be clear, this is about me learning to design stuff not teach it. I’d like…

The Outrun Test : An Exercise In Self-Evaluation

The Outrun Test : An Exercise In Self-Evaluation

It only took a week, but I finally achieved a single clear in Outrun, perhaps my favorite of the ‘classic’ SEGA library.

This wasn’t my first rodeo, I own and finished ports for both Nintendo 3DS and SEGA CD.  What changed things up this time around was that the arcade machine in Yakuza 0 has fixed difficulty settings and it’s pretty brutal.

And when I say it took a week, these were pretty big…

Hachi's Games of 2016 (For Both Measures of that Phrase)

Hachi’s Games of 2016 (For Both Measures of that Phrase)

I’m too lazy to make a proper opening pic, here’s what Google Images gave me. Just imagine more guns and Italians. So, 2016. What a fucking thing THAT was, huh? Famous folks dying by the dozens, politics becoming more cartoonish than ever before and people finding new and creative ways to hate each other while inuring themselves against criticism or mind-expanding influences. The cesspool of the…

Berserk 2016: To Love in a Time of CG

Berserk 2016: To Love in a Time of CG

Hello kids, and welcome to Kentarou Miura’s wild ride. First impressions are a bitch, aren’t they? You can spend forever and a day planning out every detail of how you present a product, an idea or shit, even yourself, only for it to blow up in your face because of that one patch of dirt you missed on your lapel, or that one glitch in the machine you didn’t iron out, or maybe the chef working at…

E3 2016: New Berserk Dynasty Warriors Game Announced, Hachi Runs out of Synonyms for Disbelief

E3 2016: New Berserk Dynasty Warriors Game Announced, Hachi Runs out of Synonyms for Disbelief

Well, fancy seeing you here. It is merely E3 eve and yet we’re already getting announcement bombed. In a move that I could not have conceived in even my deepest inebriation (and trust me, that is some DEEP shit), Omega Force, which is the team in Koei Tecmo that works on the Sangoku Musou aka Dynasty Warriors series and most of it’s spinoffs, announced that the newest anime-fused branch of the…

Square Enix Announces Final Fantasy XII Remaster, Hachi Tries to Remember Who The Hell Vaan is

In a genuinely surprising move, Squeenix announced a PS4 remaster of Final Fantasy XII coming in 2017. Final Fantasy XII, of course, some of you may remember better as “That One Kid in the FF Family Who is Totally as Cool as his Siblings, But Wears Weird Clothes…

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Announced, Hachi Begins Formulating Testicle Puns

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Announced, Hachi Begins Formulating Testicle Puns

When the hype hits you right in the fucking face. It’s been a pretty good past few years to be a Dragon Ball fan. The remastered version of the original series, Dragon Ball Kai, brought the series back into focus for modern anime fans who may have been too young to watch it upon its original release, or who had some moral opposition to men screaming and flexing for three episodes at a time. We…

Let’s Watch And Analyze The First Gameplay Trailer of Persona 5

So far news pertaining to Persona 5 has been pretty scant. The first trailer used chairs with ball & chains attached to them, with only the tagline “You are a slave. Want emancipation?” to go along with them. The second trailer showed a lot more, this time showing the main protagonist in a train heading towards the main city. Still, there wasn’t much we could go on except that whatever enemy was there showed up in the real world. So now we come to this, the first trailer to show gameplay as well as a lot more info than what the previous trailers were willing to let out. The quick cuts might be too much to take in or outright miss. So let’s break this down bit by bit.

A Post Valentines Day Look At Soul Blazer

A Post Valentines Day Look At Soul Blazer

Originally I planned to write this piece earlier, in time for everyone’s favorite romantic holiday.  Shit happens though, and here I am a few days late.  You’re probably wondering why I’m writing about love in a 22 year old game, one that goes out of its way to deliver the happiest ending possible.  You see, I thought about it a little after finishing my recent stream/playthrough and realized…

The Cozy Nostalgia of Senran Kagura Burst’s Music

Written by Steven T.

Among the staff here at The Wired Fish, there’s no mistaking that I like me some old-school games from my youth. Much of what I bought this past Christmas was old PS1 games off the Playstation Store, chief among them being Wild ARMs 2. When talking it up on Retro Weekends, I reminisce about simpler times when all I had to worry about was going to school, doing my homework, and get further in that new game I got. Times have changed, with life moving at a faster pace now that I’m older, and info being fed to me faster than any magazine ever could back then. So when I happened upon Senran Kagura Burst, I came in expecting pretty much what I expected (and being all the more happy for it). But the bodacious package came with a neat little treat that I didn’t expect.

View Post

Also, I'm sad to announce that I'll no longer be posting my own articles to Tumblr anymore. This will be my last one. Others on the staff are free to post, but I personally won't. I won't fully explain why, but just that the honeymoon has long since been over.

However I won't be fully gone. I've met some cool people here, so I'll still be around making images and liking/reblogging cool stuff. Only my articles will stay put where they are.

HP Presents - People I Would Like to See in the WWE Hall of Fame
