Sorry about that. Still getting my stuff sorted. The blogs not a giant wall of text anymore.

Good news. My internship is done, which means I can focus on this blog again. Expect a new Essays on Iji dealing with the three major charcters of the game followed by a new DB Analysis between a match up of Donkey and Diddy Kong versus Banjo and Kazooie.

In unrelated news, my canon interpretation of Chrono Trigger's story is that Frog takes Chrono's place as leader after you-know-what happened and the team had a touching buruial for thier late leader before setting out to finish the job. No random deus-ex machinas here.

I was going to make a blog defending modern Pokemon games against constant complaints I hear, but then I discovered PokemonShowdown! and have been addicted since.

I take a look at the strengths and flaws that the third and fourth entries in the Shin Megami Tensei Persona series have in an attempt to find which of the two games are superior.

LurchenGamer: This is a great series of games. I just put 81 hrs into P4G on the Vita and I am seriously considering a second playthrough right now. I'm gonna check out P3P though, looks interesting. Good blog, by the way :)

ultraguy: I got to agree.I love persona 4 just a bit more than 3(mostly because the characters are much more relatable).Both are still great games though, and i can't wait for all the characters to come back in persona 4 arena next month.
7/15/12 5:42pm
The Self Procla...: That is fine. I personally like 4 better, but I attempted to be much more objective when writing this blog. I do note that one might find themselves liking the other based on subjective tastes.

Thank you for your comment.
7/15/12 2:50pm
LousyTactician: Interesting little blog, but I rank Persona 4 MUCH MUCH MUCH higher than 3. I don't hate 3, but there are many issue I have with it that irk me. I have a blog about it in the works.

I take at look at the two alien factions in Iji, the Tasen and the Komato, and compare them in an attempt to find the the hidden significance of their portrayal.

dou12not: Very interesting idea. Thanks for sharing. I just read this.

It looks like a certain race of white fuzzballs will be joining Bowser and Q-Bert in the upcoming Disney flick.
6/18/12 2:49pm
Pikachutwo2: I would agree if there weren't multiple in the pic.

A good question. Even though I'm not of the opinion that Capcom has had it in for the Blue Bomber recently, I am curious of this change. Then again, it seems more like a design choice from those working on the film (i.e. Wily's scrawny stature compared to the hulking frames of Ralph, Bowser and Zangief.) rather than any intervention from Capcom, unless copyright issues sprung forth.
6/16/12 5:35pm
Kaibaman41: I wonder where's Dr.Wily he was originally sitting next to Bowser and Zangief in one screen shot before it's trailer but was replaced by what ever the red demon was.
6/16/12 4:34pm
The Self Procla...: I understand. Still, I believe that if I am right then we'll see the moogles a bit closer. These cameos will at the very least be background shout-outs. I doubt any will play a pivotal role in the film.
6/16/12 4:22pm
Darkseid2: Don't expect these cameos to be for the majority of the film, they're just little shout outs before the film focuses on original worlds based around game genres for the sake of loving parody.

I examine the different characterizations of Murray in the first two Sly Cooper games and theorize how the Murray from the first game became "The Murray" from the second.
6/14/12 9:40pm
GameJudge: If you just look back at the games a bit more and clarify a few more details, this analysis would be golden. Still, it's a good look at the character.
6/14/12 9:36pm
Darkseid2: "The Murray" is the greatest Persona ever. :P
6/14/12 1:00pm
LousyTactician: This is a good look at one of the Sly Cooper characters, but I feel it needs a just a bit more detail. These analyses have a massive amount of potential though.
 
6/12/12 8:26pm

In the first proper entry in my analysis of Iji, I look at a pivotal point in the game where the player's unwitting actions affect the protagonists of the game.
6/12/12 9:59pm
bigjoe91: Good read indeed.
6/12/12 9:58pm
The Self Procla...: Thank you. I don't usually try for comedy as, quite frankly, I'm terrible at making jokes.
6/12/12 9:56pm
GameJudge: This is a very well done blog. It's short, which allows people to read it without being scared, it's thought-provoking which is always a plus. And although this sounds ego-stroking, your style reminds me a lot of mine, except you take yourself more seriously and don't try to make for tiny bits of comedy relief.

I look forward to any future works you have in store.
6/12/12 9:47pm
The Self Procla...: Thank you very much. I strive for quality in my writing style. You can expect more on the subject of Iji later, but I'll be touching on other subjects first. This series will be on and off.
6/12/12 9:38pm
Darkseid2: I really enjoyed this. I don't see many thoughtful writings like this anymore, but I'd like it if you went a bit further into detail on the subject. Still, this is a nice change of pace from the usually "HILARIOUS XD" writings I normally see. Keep it up, you got yourself a subscriber.
