Sinopsis

Gaming on any system is a mysterious world to me and I stand on the edge and look into it like Alice at the entrance to wonderland.Recently I jumped into that black hole and found myself lost in a place I don't understand. It is a place full of spectacle and phenomena which feeds my imagination. In many ways I represent all the people who know nothing about games, who are uninspired and uninterested in games. As such, I'm not sure whether I'm particularly welcome here. The way I look at computer games is nothing like an ordinary gamer would look at them. My 'reviews' are naive, ridiculous observations that only someone totally inexperienced could make.I am inspired by that edge where two distant and separate things meet. What I am interested in is the collision of my own creative world with the creativity of the gaming world. There is something about the gaming wonderland which challenges my understanding of what constitutes beautiful art. It's tempting to be something of a purist when it comes to art, and particularly my own art of creating music, but recently notions of possibility and process have been more important to me than clear-cut, polished beauty.What I have created here I created at home in my spare room, with whatever I could find lying around the house. These songs come from a place of immediacy - like the first word that comes into your head.

    The Infuriating and Alluring Case of Mr Kyle Hyde If I wanted to read a book I'd read a book with slightly better dialogue and plot.

  • 1.7 This Poem - Flower PlayStation 3

    25/08/2010 Duración: 04min

    This Poem Oh I know now what it's like to dream as a flower would Oh I know now what it's like to write a symphony with my fingertips Who said, who said I couldn't touch the depths of emotion with this, through this? It's seamless movement, breathtaking, filmic, it's your own interpretation So take your time, can you bear the weight of this poem? Won't you take your time, can you stay long enough to breathe it? Don't you know it makes its way into your veins Oh I know now how a valley comes to life, how a city dies Oh I know now how fragile it feels on the wind Who said, who said I couldn't touch the depths of emotion with this, through this? It pushes the boundaries, communicates in mysteries, it's your own experience So take your time, can you bear the weight of this poem? Won't you take your time, can you stay long enough to breathe it? Don't you know it makes its way unlike any other game into your veins

  • 1.5 I'm a Wolf - Okami Wii

    25/06/2010 Duración: 03min

    Lyrics for I'm a Wolf I'm a wolf and everyone loves me coz I saved the world from a terrible beast If you'll listen I'll tell you my story tho it's actually quite boring and goes on and on And on and on and bears no relevance to my game I'm a wolf and my best friend's a little bug who frankly rubs me up the wrong way It's so embarrassing I wish he'd stop speaking and let me get on with running around Coz I run around, I just run around this empty island and it's not much fun I can't draw with your little brush I don't know what it's for I can't draw with your little brush all I have are my animal paws I'm a wolf and I don't like humans sometimes I consume them especially the small ones I'm not sure why I'm on this mission I'm not totally committed to getting to the end of my game and it's mainly because I can't draw with your little brush I don't know what it's for I can't draw with your little brush all I have are my animal paws

  • 1.4 Here At Last - Madworld Wii

    25/05/2010 Duración: 01min

    Madworld Lyrics Here at last a hardcore game on the wii that's nasty, stylized violence that we call comedy, like itchy and scratchy, like tom and jerry. I just stabbed a guy through the eye with a road sign, pulled out his heart with my bare hands, do i feel alright? No I feel dirty, there's really something quite unnerving about all the latent perving in the disturbing commentary. You're trying way too hard, like a disillusioned nerd, who thinks chainsaws and swear words will make you the coolest kid in school It's far too short and the weapons are far too few and I have to redo the whole level so i give you a headbutt with the nunchuk I feel giddy, visually it gets really busy and my heart feels dizzy in this sadistic comic book You're trying way too hard, like a disillusioned nerd, who thinks chainsaws and swear words will make you the coolest kid in school

  • 1.3 Layers - Peggle Dual Shot DS

    Lyrics for Layers I'm feeling casual, I play my casual game I can play it while I'm eating my toast, press a button and I'm set to explode It's my dark sin, when no one's looking I play Peggle I've got extreme fever for Bjorn the Unicorn and his friends I can play it while I'm waiting in line, press a button and I'm barely alive It's my dark sin, when no one's looking I play Peggle

  • 1.2 Ever Have a Dream? - Hello Kitty DS Review

    25/03/2010 Duración: 03min

    Lyrics for Ever Have a Dream? Hello Kitty, hello kitty, won't you take me to your pretty little world She goes to the city, she goes to the city, "goodbye mum and dad don't look so sad" She says "did you ever have a dream when you were young like I am? Did you ever want to see all that, all that you could be?" Hello Kitty, hello kitty, you're rather nifty, I'm quite addicted to you She loves the city, she loves the city, though I wish I could control her without giving her a seizure She says "did you ever have a dream when you were young like I am? Did you ever want to see all that, all that you could be? Did you ever have a dream when you were young, young like I am now? Did you ever want to see the world and if you could hold it and if you could hold it?" I go dancing with Dear Daniel, I jump rope with the Little Twin Stars, I play baseball with Pochacco and play in the arcade with Kerrobi, I take Kurrinin's boat out on the lake and serve dinner at Tuxedo Sam's And then I go home, then I go home, then I

  • 1.1 Press A - Wii-Sports Wii Review

    25/02/2010 Duración: 02min

    Lyrics for Press A My boyfriend wanted a Nintendo Wii for christmas, he said, "Girl don't you love me?" We can play together, bowling tennis and golf and there's a new game coming out for you to do your yoga." So we queued up for hours, we hunted for a second controller, we created our mini me's and mine was very sweet. "Press A, press A, press A" he said "why can't you remember to Press A? You're holding us all up with something as simple as that." He said, "Don't forget now to wear your safety strap at all times, you're gonna send it straight through the TV." He said, "No need to punch me, the boxing's on the screen, you're getting way too excited, why don't you take it easy." And it was one thing or another and I said, "Darling this ain't such fun, I think I'm gonna leave your games to you and your chums." "Press A, press A, press A" he said "why can't you remember to Press A? You're holding us all up with something as simple as that."
