I still had more to say about Klonoa than I was able to say on my Rambley Bits posts. The subtitle-less (at least in America) Klonoa game for the Wii is a remake of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for the Playstation. I have never played the original version, but from what I understand, the only substantial change is the significant graphical upgrade. Instead of 2D sprites on a 3D background, the graphics are now much improved full 3D, though the gameplay remains mostly 2D. It is a slower paced, more thoughtful New Super Mario Bros. and Klonoa makes better use of 3D space.

A Miserable Pile of Secrets
Rambley Bits 1-29-11
This is supposed to go up on Friday, but I keep getting later and later with it.
I didn’t realize Soccer was so Violent
More Football and A Betrayal
Rambley Bits 1-22-11
Three weeks into the year and I’m doing a pretty good job blogging. Not necessarily the writing, though I hope that it is good, but on just updating frequently. I’ll need more to talk about after the NFL playoffs end.
Moons and Dragons and Adventure!
I gushed a week or so ago about the early parts of Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. I’m glad to say the level of quality holds up through nearly the entire game. And those parts that falter are only minimally disappointing. Lunar delivers on everything it aspires to: a mechanically unambitious but fundamentally sound old school JRPG with a cinematic flair. It combines 16-bit goodness with just the right amount of modern influence to keep it from feeling archaic.
A TKO from Tokyo
Rambley Bits 1-14-10: Football and Zelda
I’m looking for a different title for this running feature. Rambley Bits is alright, but it fit better with the old blog title. Maybe it doesn’t matter.
Cleaning up the Backlog
While I have no big blog projects this year, I do have a big project that is not necessarily related to my blog. And I will be using my blog to update my progress occasionally.
Why a gif of Terry Bogard? Why not?
Quibbling about Austen
I purchased a Collins Classics edition, a bargain line of classic novels from HarperCollins, of Sense and Sensibility expecting something as enjoyable as Pride and Prejudice or Northanger Abbey, my two favorite Austen novels. Though I am currently only about halfway through, so far I have found it to be a mild disappointment.
