Okay, so the first post of the year isn’t exactly a classic, but it’ll just clear a few things up and then we can dive into the content proper as soon as I write it!
- Lots of people come here searching for a poem called “The Game“, by somebody who shares my name (that’s James Newton, by the way). Obviously this isn’t the right site, but it certainly matches all the key words. Anyway, if you’re here looking for the poem “The Game” by James Newton, and it’s about football, you actually want the tenth poem down on this page (link)
- I’ll do my best to come up with some Wii Play tips, and there’ll be a short Wii Sports video soon!
- I am the number one games expert in Malaysia according to MSN Live Search!
- Thanks to my soundtrack work on Tanner, I’m now up on IMDB. Check it out!
- This month’s issue of GamesTM has an excellent four-page feature on NiGHTS into Dreams, including an interview with the usually-reclusive Yuji Naka. He doesn’t say anything about Wii NiGHTS (the article does mention Air/Aero NiGHTS though), but there is an interesting revelation about the original Saturn analogue pad: the first person to hold the prototype was none other than Steven Spielberg.
That’s about all I can come up with at the moment. I can’t tell you my posting schedule over the next few weeks – I won’t be at work, but I’m going to my parents’ house for a week, so it could be quiet.
Oh yes, last thing – it’s my 23rd birthday next Wednesday, the 10th of January, hence the cool banner.
My name is James Newton, and this is my website - a collection of my writings about
videogames, music and all my other thoughts.
