Tech War Mode! Go Software!

or Gears of War Two Tech Demo.


The GoW2/unreal engine tech demo thingy was really cool. This hidden message highlights the arms race between Epic and... everyone else who makes 'for sale' game engines or middleware.


Similar to the Cold War, Epic (lets represent them with a randomly assigned country.... The USA) are building up their atomic arsenal in a bid to bully everyone else into doing what they want. There is some resistance however, from the likes of id software (Russia) with their Tech5 engine.


There are a few smaller players. Havok (represented by the UK) Have some form of nuclear detterent but as with most UK based stuff it's not a complete package and its a pain in the arse. NaturalMotion (erm, who can they be? Lets say Japan) with their Euphoria stuff are the new kids on the block, but they have much awesomeness going on.


But the USA, sorry, Epic will probably go on to become the big superpower in game engines.
Personally I'm looking forward to the new game using the Unreal Engine:


Blocks of Meat XTreme: The Dystrophy Chronicles

Racist Electron

or Electronic Arts.

Yes, those racists electrons over at EA heap hate and loathing upon those innocent nuetrons and protons. The simple and obvious analogy here is to think of the games industry as an atom. You can choose any atom you want. I find Berylium quite attractive.

Basically, EA are the electrons, everyone else is either a proton or a neutron. Some people really hate EA, so they are clearly protons. Others aren't really to bothered, but they still harbour some sort of resentment for EA. These are the Nuetrons.

In short, nobody likes EA, but EA HATES everybody. Except Rockstar and 2K sports.

Two Die in Inn

or Nintendo Wii.

This cryptic oddity seems to imply that since the Nintendo Wii is the cause* of many injuries and damage to expensive property (insert link to TV broken by Wii remote) the situation will come to a head in the future and at some point there will be multiple fatalities.

*or so they say, in actual fact it's all down to people LETTING GO OF THE REMOTE LIKE A LEPER WHOS THUMB HAS FALLEN OFF because they are stupid.

Or Eat Shit Aplenty

or Playstation Three.

This is an obvious dig by the universe at Sony's contemptable handling of the whole Playstation 3 debacle. They lied through their front teeth so many times that you wonder just how far up their own arseholes they actually are. Let me give a few examples. (These are just the ones I can remember in my half drunk, curry laden state)

No wait, I forgot I'm too lazy. Sorry to dissapoint you all. It wouldn't have been any good anyway.

Preface

Hello there, and welcome to my blog, which is more like an archived record of my boredom, and a good example of why corporate entities shouldn't allow their employees to freely access the internet.

Below is a series of letters, with a smattering of punctuation. I have carefully arranged them to form some kind of semi-coherent message. Heed these brave characters and salute their..... bravery.

The basic premise of this blog is to get famous companys/games/people who are in some way related to the game industry and then piss about with all the letters in their name until (hopefully) something funny/topical/disgusting comes out the other side.

Since I have a back log of anagrams to post, I will be posting thick and fast at the start, then things will slow down to a sporadic dribble, and eventually everything will come to a grinding halt, nothing will ever be posted on here again, and it will end up floating around on some server taking up space that could be used for something better. This is the life cycle of a blog, and I for one am not about to go messing with the unwritten laws of the interweb by making this one any different.

Bate your breath and await the first of a few anagrams of goodness.
