        04/30/07
        A vitamin D - infused Diversion. Isn't the sun great? Incidentally, Listen Again didn't cut off any songs! Enjoy the first full-length Diversion in a long time!

        That Guys have been kind enough to post a link to this site on their blog, and are keeping up the hunt for gimps in video games. It's a worthwhile hobby.

        If you're looking for dinosaurs in video games, you're at the wrong blog. You want to go here.

        Voldo (Soul Blade / Edge, Soul Calibur)



        Voldo is an excellent gimp - his story in the Soul Edge / Calibur series follows his devotion to protecting his long-dead master's treasure. His moveset in the games is suitably freaky, his victory quote simply a gagged hiss. He

      • A quick plug for the 5%...
        04/27/07
        My friend Sam and his friend Kat are launching an English-language magazine called the 5% in Berlin. The first edition has gone to press, but the magazine is always going to be looking for submissions either written or drawn. Check out what they're about through their Myspace page.

        04/25/07


        I've started to distribute some sampler CDs both locally and through friends in other parts of the country / world. If you've got one of these CDs, here's the tracklist for you, in order of song / artist / album. Follow the links for more info on the artists. Most importan

        It's official. Go here for the beautiful website. It's in Japanese, but easily navigated. Check out the King's new clothes! Dandy as ever.

        For once Subcity's Listen Again didn't do too badly - just a little bit got snipped off Senor Coconut, but you can still hear the best part of his Oxygene (Part II) cover in all its glory...

        Diversion Projects: the world's number one Ray McVay resource! Here's the latest additions to my Ray McVay collection. They're not nearly as good as the albums I used for the special, but it's worth logging them for the sake of completion, and to provide info for other collectors

        Doctor Kawashima - Doctor Kawashima's Brain Training

        If you play Brain Training solidly for about a month, you'll hear everything Doctor Kawashima has to say, and since this is a game that you're meant to play every day, Kawashima's limited conversation soon gets irrit

        04/16/07



        As promised, here's the video of the Eminence Orchestra, and their performance of "The Opened Way".



        For those who have played the game, here's a funky little site full of oddities and exploration:

      • Diversion: Show 16 - An Orchestral Game and Anime Concert - 16/04/2007
        04/16/07
        Another Orchestral special, this time with more of a focus on in-game music and anime background music. There's a lot more that I wanted to say about the music played in this show (especially since Listen Again cut off things I had to say about One Piece), but then, that's what this site i

      • Groovy album artwork!
        04/13/07
        Again, I just bought this album for the cover. To be fair, Enoch Light is pretty cool, but this isn't one of his best albums...



        One day I WILL print this on a T-shirt, for now, it's my desktop, and possibly the new site banner.

        04/13/07
        I bought this album a few years ago in a charity shop...



        The album itself isn't great - but how can you resist the cover?



        It's a perfect cover in so many ways; bold, eye-catching, and very, very wrong. Although, djinn is another word for genie.

        I was just glad to finally find a Jurassic 5 track without swearing in it, plus mixing it with Frank Sinatra was a lot of fun...

        This picture was taken in my local supermarket during the 2006 World Cup...



        ...well, it's eye-catching, at least. Points for effort and unintended surrealism.

        I was in Woolworths one day, and saw this sign:



        Funnily enough, it's the only thing I've ever stolen from there.

        04/03/07
        You should be...



        ...it's an anime/manga about a Japanese high school student who finds a notebook. Whoever has their name written in the notebook dies. If I say anything else, it would be against the rule of spoiler etiquette, especially for this show.

        I'm not sure if I'll ever get the timing right for the Listen Again cut-off. Ah well, all the more music to play in full in future shows. At least Sanji doesn't get cut off at the end. That wouldn't be right.
