Podcast Episode #10: Rampant Localization!
by B coma
Thu Jan 28, 2010 1:24 am
They said we would never make to episode ten, and BY GOD!
They were very nearly right!
The selectbutton.net podcast celebrates its wave of continued 2010 $UCCESS in an expansive episode about the localization of video games. Listen as this episode becomes even more CAN'T MISS: we discuss the challenges of localizing (and naturalizing!) games across cultural, technical, and even nationally imposed barriers. Also, a special segment on the translation of SEGAGAGA by our very own Adeligian!
I am the true face of exclamation points!!! Forum member Botagel also crashes the party mere seconds beforehand! Hurry up and listen before I run out of empty bomba
Select Button Podcast 10 ft. Adeligian, B coma, Botagel, Deets, Schwere Viper, and Takashi

Podcast Episode #9: Galaxies vs. WoW
by B coma
Thu Jan 21, 2010 10:22 pm
Right off the hamster wheel and into the treadmill,
this week the show launches into an EPIC JOURNEY (of running time) to talk about MMORPG's, and it's a laser focused discussion in a genre that is itself becoming increasingly narrow in design. Listen to find out why the leviathan that is World of Warcraft has not been toppled, and why game developers and publishers are wrongheaded in their swipes for marketshare, as they detract from the true promise of the genre in their attempts. Who the fuck am I kidding, just listen for the Lost Vikings tangent.

~moe~
In a brave new world of Select Button Podcasts, our panel reaches around the world to discuss expandable skillsets in games. Or rather, are they discussing the preposterous explosion of characters and collectibles in N64 Rare platformers? Or recent recruitment opportunities in Sonic's lame ass crew? POWER armor? Donkey Kong 64 Forever?
Check it.

The Penitent Man Will Pass

Via my shitty scanner and blunt-force Paint trauma, here is my notebook covering the span of time during which I played all five Myst games more or less in a row. Personal data unredacted for maximum New Games Journalism insight.

The New Entertainment Manifesto
by Dracko
Sun Jan 03, 2010 12:45 pm
You gamers
Independent developers
Creators of the same.
Your adolescent and childeyed notions of maturity
Your lustful eye that covets damned archaic media
Dreaming of acceptance from nobody and no-one of worth.
Repeat yourselves
Repeat yourselves
Repeat yourselves.
The discussion
The argument
The same
The games.
Worth is not judged in awards.
Worth is not judged in tears.
Your backslapping self fellating self perpetuating orgy of empty words.
Empty games, empty sentiments and empty arts, all meaningless.
Forever destined to say nothing, to progress nothing.
Incestuous to the end.
You are not different.
You are not auteurs.
You are not revolutionaries.
You are not special.
Go, talk to your monsters but do not touch us.
Your flesh is putrid, your attitude repugnant.
You will die, forgotten.
You are rejected.
We are the New Entertainers.
This is the New Entertainment.
We are the bringers of games and we wash our hands of your stench.
We reject the tired and tiresome debates.
We do not seek acceptance. We are the accepted and accepting.
We do not desire what other media has.
We do . . . Read more |
SBGC: Super Mario RPG
by Texican Rude
Sat Jan 02, 2010 11:25 pm
 Starting from our recent discussion of Dumb Bullshit in Super Mario World, and an even earlier thread about games you mean to play, let's go ahead and have another RPG Selectbutton Game Club for Super Mario RPG.
I grew up a Genesis kid, but moved to Nintendo 64 after too many bad things on Sega's part. There after much ranting and raving from just about everyone I played Paper Mario, and felt dead inside because I played all 40 hours of it and felt literally nothing for it or about it. I guess the battle system was kind of neat.
Video game journalists (ha) loved to mention that it proved Nintendo could make an RPG without Square. What I'm noticing in the opening hours of SMRPG is how free this game is of RPG bullshit. If you die in a . . . Read more |
