Elmo 3000's blog

Elmo's Rants: 55: 4.0

So, ScrewAttack 4.0 is almost upon us, and I was privileged enough to be able to check out the new website. Now, I want to get right into this rant, since there are lots of things on the site to talk about.

Just a few quick notices first:

  • I am aware that anything I like/dislike may well be changed.

Elmo's Room 101 with: Wandering Swordsman!

Today on Room 101, a very special guest... when I was still a Wii-hating, 'hardcore', garbage-writing newbie on the site, this guy was busy being the pioneer of good blogging. One of the most experienced, intelligent and respected bloggers on the site, one of my major role models on here, and the kind of blogger whose work I would suggest for ANYONE to read... Wandering Swordsman!

Elmo's Famous Five: Zelda Games

IT'S ZELDA TIME!

Elmo's Rants: 54: Super Mario Bros 2 Syndrome

Today, I'll be talking about a certain symptom that can be detected in several games. It has happened previously, it's happening now, and I'm sure it will happen again.

I refer of course, to Super Mario Bros 2 Syndrome.

Elmo's Rants: 53: I Wanna Be The Guy (Who Moderates Stuff)

That's right people, I am announcing to the world that I volunteer to become a moderator on this site. To be honest, I don't know whether I should send this to a mod, or a member of the Screw Crew, so I'm just going to post it here and keep my fingers crossed that somebody sees it.

Elmo's Room 101 with: DJGrandPa!

Today's guest on Room 101 is a rising young blogger on Screwattack. He's established himself as a writer, reviewer, artist, and even interviewer, recently providing an insight into Keith Apicary himself. I also think he likes a Mario game, but I forgot which... if only he talked about it more...

Ladies and gentlemen, DJGrandPa!

Let's jump straight in. What's your first choice?

Podcast 7.9: Elmo Hates Editting

Gah.

Anyway, this is the... 9th episode (If you include the crappy 'Resident Evil 4' special I did with Oldschool Master, and the episode with me, OSM, and Thunderbird) of Podcast 7.9, and it's just as terrible as the other 8.

Elmo's Famous Five: Donkey Kong Games

He's the leader of the bunch!
You know him well!
He's finally back!
To kick some tail!

His coconut gun can fire in spurts!
If he shoots ya... It's gonna hurt!

Elmo's Rants: 52: Think of the Children!

Quick Edit: I should point out, this blog is fairly useless. I started it when 2 blogging issues were going on, but then I got bored... and was very busy played Golden Sun 2. I kept it, half-finished, until I decided to finish it today and post it, just for the hell of it. I wouldn't say the 2 blogging issues I talk about were resolved, but they did die down after a while.

Elmo's Ideas for Lazy Bloggers 2: Gaming Implications

Sometimes when you're blogging, you don't want to go into depth about things that don't matter. You don't want to over-analyse things that don't make a difference to anything in the game. You don't want to spend hours writing about something that nobody even cares about that much, and only a tenth of the people who read it will understand it anyway.

Elmo's Ideas for Lazy Bloggers 1: A Non-ScrewAttack Top 10

Howdy g1s, and welcome to a new mini-series. My Famous Five Donkey Kong games are still on their way, and I'm still interviewing DJGrandpa for Room 101 soon, but I've had several small ideas. You know, ideas that would be good for a blog or two, but then I'd just lose enthusiasm.

Elmo's Top Ten Books!

Being a writer myself, I love reading. Being an online writer myself, I get lots of things to read, most of them being unique and interesting. And, being a moderately successful online writer myself, you can be sure there are some large influences behind me.

Elmo's Rants: 51: A Clockwork Console

"What's it going to be then?"

Elmo's Room 101 with: Tren!

Hello everybody. I'll start today's blog with a little sidenote; Today is my 18th birthday!

So... hurrah, I can now buy alcohol (Which I wouldn't) smoke cigarettes (Which I wouldn't) go to clubs (Which I wouldn't)... basically, this just means it will be less of a hassle when I eventually put aside my hatred for Kratos and try out the God of War series.

Elmo's Famous Five: Mario Spin-Offs

It's been a while, bloggers, but I've eventually decided to revisit this old series of mine. Last time, we looked at the core games in the Mario series, the main games that stayed true to either 2D Sidescrolling or 3D Platforming. Today however, we look towards the spin-offs.

Elmo's Musical Rocky Horror Gaming Show!

SING-A-LONG WITH ELMO!!!

That's right everyone, I've devised another song. I did this once in a blog many months ago with the infamous Rick Astley song 'Never Gonna Give You Up', and I never thought I'd make another musical blog again. Then, I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show...

Elmo and the Moderators (Peace Mission!)

Guys, this is getting way out of hand. I offer up this blog as the official debating ground of the issue, since I don't want it erupting into other blogs.

Elmo's 50th Rant: Memories

The wind was starting to make him shiver.

When he'd eventually spotted the building after hours of searching, he hadn't really known how to react. At first he'd just walked towards it, as if he couldn't believe he'd really found it, and then he just... stood there. Basking in the glory of what once was.

Elmo's Room 101 with: Jet Fire!

Ladies and gentlemen, my guest today is one of the finest bloggers on Screwattack to date, and definitely one of the most thorough. You probably already know him for his amazing 'Top 100 games' list, so let's give a warm welcome to... Jet Fire!

Well, let's jump straight into your picks. What do you want to go into Room 101?

Elmo's Rants: 49: Cruel Britannia!

Britain sucks.

Just thought I'd open with that...
