Watford, England.
Interests:
As stated in the old personal statement, I'm a spriter and a writer, two hobbies which pretty much occupy my time outside of school. I make various comics, and fanfics and stuff. Trying to branch out into completely original fiction as well. I just find starting stories difficult.

I'm a pretty political person, as can be seen from my University studies. My focus on English, while not formal in my education, also comprises much of my attitude. Aside from my writing activities, you can often notice my rather grandiloquent speech. I also abhor text talk. It seems to serve much the same function as Orwell's newspeak. Double-plus ungood.

Musically, I'm into a lot of J-Pop. Dreams Come True in particular. They've captured my imagination and my auditory nerve since I first heard 'Sweet Sweet Sweet'. I'm also a fan of 80s ska and new-wave stuff. Madness and Oingo Boingo are particular faves.

I'm a big fan of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, to the point where I'd call myself a Haruhiist as a religious choice. If a book is enough to base a faith on, at least Nagaru Tanigawa appears to be a snappier writer than the apostles.

I also tend to find the good in most Sonic games. I still play Sonic 06 from time to time, avoiding levels with mach speed areas or buddy sections (with the exception of Blaze, who plays ok.) The only games I consider really not worth playing are the Nintendo handhelds after Advance 1, and Secret Rings.

  1. In Topic: Sonic 1 and 2 getting the Sonic CD treatment by Taxman and Stealth

    Rather late to the party, but just got an iPhone and the first thing I did was download Sonic 2.

    Loving it thus far, Hidden Palace is an absolute blast to play through, really fits seamlessly into the game. Done wonders with it. The rest of the game is spot on, too. The Special Stages look gorgeous. My only 'problem' thus far is that I'm absolutely useless with the touchpad controls, so it's like learning the game all over again. But even this is kind of thrilling because I'm making mistakes I haven't made since I was a kid and seeing paths I'd forgotten even existed. So yeah, I'm pretty damn happy with it, and have rated it accordingly on the app store!

    So by his logic, can Archie just have a character related to Knuckles called Lyra-Z'uu, and be done with it? :P

    Looking at more of the videos, I keep hoping to be impressed by the level design, but it all just seems to be attempts to wrap very linear paths round different surreal shapes so that it gives the illusion of looking complex and interesting.

    To be honest, whether the design ends up good or bad, this is the first time I've been interested in anything to do with Knuckles since Sonic Adventure 1. Maybe the redesign could actually be what it takes to make them think about what his strengths are, rather than just failing to integrate 3D versions of his S&K gameplay.
  5. In Topic: Why Sonic 2?

    I think a big part of my love of Sonic 2 boils right down to the music. It's some of Masato Nakamura's finest work, without the slowdown that the PAL version of Sonic 1 suffered from. There's also such a variety, each song helping to flesh out the zone that it's a part of, which wasn't so much the case with Sonic 3. Hydrocity's music, while catchy, never really screamed "underwater ancient city" and could have been stuck into plenty of other zones without anyone really noticing, and I still can't figure out what exactly Launch Base's music was trying to do.
