Rants

  • One Punch to Rule Them All (Almost)

    ·

    I’ve shared my fanboyism for Japanese stationery before (among other things). When it comes to design, form, and function, Japanese stationery is light-years ahead of the rest of the world. One of the biggest advantages of using a dynamic system like Plotter is the ability to turn just about any piece of paper into an…

  • Nintendo Switch 2 – One Week Later

    ·

    I know it’s weird that the first post here about the Nintendo Switch 2 is already one week later after the console’s launch, but again, bear with me. This is going to be mainly rants. It’s not a review, it’s my opinion as a long life Nintendo fan. I’ve been with Nintendo since the beginning.…

  • Still Alive

    ·

    It has been almost 10 years since I stopped blogging. With the focus changing from blogging to social media, I lost the attention span, the time and motivation I usually dedicated to this… also, I found that my opinions and posts became mostly a drop in an ocean of echoes. When I and others started…

  • On PewDiePie’s $7m…

    ·

    The problem here isn’t the money this young man is making with his videos… the problem is that there are 37 million souls watching him playing games instead of spending that time playing games themselves, which to me makes no sense at all. It might be a sign that I’m getting old, but I rather play…

    ·

  • The Meaning of Life

    ·

    Perhaps the oldest question in the history of civilization… it’s the also the one question with the most number of answers. Their validity is another issue… I often say that life, and all its aspects are terribly subjective. Even death. It all depends on how you experience life itself and the end of it, either…

  • The Blog that sleeps…

    ·

    It’s more like the blogger who sleeps… I really have to reconnect with my blog. Twitter, Facebook and G+ are taking a heavy toll on blogs. Mine is no exception. In the social networks you have almost an instant audience, it’s like you are in the middle of the street shouting you rants at strangers,…

  • Farewell LucasArts

    ·

    It’s a sad day for us gamers in their 30’s and 40’s. Today Disney announced that it’s closing LucasArts. The famous game studio that was part of LucasFilm, and included in the package that George Lucas sold to Disney, is being closed down after 31 years. I’m 34. I grew up with LucasFilm Games (that…

  • Outrun

    ·

    I’m completely addicted to this album! A pure trip to the 80’s in all aspects! Great work from Kavinsky. A true homage to Sega’s arcade and console hit Outrun! Love the Testarossa!
