Wardrox's Collection of Thoughts
I'm John Kershaw, mostly known as being responsible for Nukezilla. Coffee, videogames, feminism, roller derby (I skate for Manchester Roller Derby, my derby name is Sausage Roller. Good, isn't it?), writing and other fairly nerd-related things all float my boat. This Tumblr blog is a collection of things of interest to me.

A spotted judgment pops up on the streets of Paris. And someone goes in stoned (we think) to the Hirst show in LA. READ MORE

“Be aware that the last time a picture of this scene with a similar context was posted, it was removed by scumbag moderator wardox, because he is butthurt and feels that the picture is too “rapey” (actual quote) thus conflicting with his “high morals” which he tries to force upon everybody else.”

reddit commenter Smarag complaining about me removing a post a month ago.
I don’t go on reddit much these days, mostly because the larger subreddits are filled with the kind of people who leave comments on YouTube, but was curious as to why I was suddenly receiving weird abuse.

I don't normally slag off press releases...
… but when I do, I order my complaints in a handy list-like format for easy reading.

“Can I do a weekly editorial pissing on the way modern pseudo-game journos do their job on the interwebs? Also, can I sandwich said editorial between two other posts by me that do the exact thing every other pseudo-game journo does?
Also, do I get a porkpie hat with a tiny sheet of paper that says PRESS poking out of the band?”

That depends; can you do it well, and in a way which doesn’t rehash the same useless, lazy, “I’m being ironic now, so that’s why this is a shit article. Ha look at me being self aware!” topics pseudo-pseudo-journos have been pretending are new for the past three years to get out of putting actual effort in?
And if you don’t have a Press hat you’re dong it wrong, and frankly, should fuck off.

SurplusGamer's Thought Limbo: The Surprised Man Anti-Charity Game Jamstravaganza!
Kieran and I were unable to take part in Ludum Dare #22, despite really wanting to. So we cooked up a plan to do our own Jam, at a later date. That later date is from midnight tonight, and since announcing it a couple of people have expressed an interest in joining us in our quest.
Great! But…
Genius.

“Downing Street has moved swiftly to torpedo a proposal from the education secretary, Michael Gove, that the public should donate a £60m royal yacht to the Queen as part of this year’s diamond jubilee celebrations.”

For every Roller Derby Otter, there is an Evil Roller Derby Otter… let the blocks to the head commence!
Not to be confused with Roller Derby Otter, Fresh Meat Otter, or Roller Derby Zebra

“For the uninitiated, booth babes are female models who are hired to lure men to take a look at products that are otherwise too dull to merit genuine interest.”

cyclicaltremors asked: What is your opinion on the Paul Christoforo/Penny Arcade story?
The same opinion as everyone else, I imagine.
Though … perhaps with more sympathy. That guy works in PR, a horrible industry. And he’s now being mauled by bloggers who are arguably just as terrible as people. And all because the guy was an asshole. How dare he be an asshole! Real people are sometimes assholes, not PR people! It’s all descended into a bit of a hypercritical love-in lynch mob, which is always sad to see. But hey, the reader’s love some drama. And if one guy has his life ruined, who cares, we had a fun time on twitter for a few days when nothing else was going on.
But, he was an ass.
