So I recently decided to try making music on my computer, and this is the first result. It's a remake of a battle theme from a GBC JRPG called Lufia: The Legend Returns.

So big news, at least for me anyway, Thanks to Kay (one of our bloggers here and all around awesome gal) I got a sweet deal on a 60 gig PS3 with full compatibility with PS2 and PS1 games. I have a pretty good PS1 collection as that's maybe my favorite console ever, but I owned a Xbox last gen, so I missed out on a ton of amazing games. I'd like to change that.

So I run this podcast on Pixlbit called Backloggers Anomyous, maybe you've heard of it? Our mission is to encourage gamers to dig into their backlog and play games they may have missed. The problem is, up until recently, the only gamers who really were interested in the podcast were fellow staff members. Now that we've got regular visitors, I'm very interested in finding out what you want to play from your backlog, and we'd love to play through those games with you on Backloggers.

This is actually my 3rd attempt to write about my trip, which apparently is so cursed I can't even blog about it without running into trouble. Hopefully I don't sound too much like a miserable human being. Trust me, I'm very aware of the humor in all of this, and I hope you're actually laughing a little bit at just how bad this went. I know I am.

I just got back from a pretty wretched vacation. I'll blog about that at another time, but let me just say this: When the first thing that happens is someone commits suicide by jumping in front of the train you're riding in (yes seriously) it's a pretty good indicator that your vacation is cursed.

Tuesday started off pretty normally. I made it downstairs in time to say goodbye to the kids before they got on the bus, start the coffee, and put my lunch together. I chatted with my wife, got in my car, and drove off. Somewhere along the line I checked my twitter feed, and that’s when the insanity began.

OK, first, everybody expecting and uninformed rant, go somewhere else. This isn’t a twitter account or a facebook blasting, this is a legitimate beef I have with how IGN conducts business, and why I strongly feel their continued popularity is extremely bad for gamers and other games journalists. I’m not going to close this thing by calling for a boycott, or slam people for going to that website, I just want you to consider the reasons I have for no longer supporting IGN like I used to.

First, a disclaimer; there are many, many examples of art framed in gameplay, but I can only speak to things I have personally appreciated. This is true to the nature of art itself. One can only speak to pieces that have “moved” them in some way, but that does not disqualify other works of skill, beauty, imagination, and creativity, it simply speaks to their limitations as a single human being. There are games that may deserve to be mentioned that I simply have not played, and art that I have experienced that went unappreciated because of my own personal tastes. Please keep this in mind.

First things first, I have a Twitter account now! PixlAJ. I’m warning all of you now though that I do NOT know how to use this thing, so take some pity on the old man trying to run with the hip teen funsters.
