Nick Rox Lives

Too bad it's in Play. Yes, perhaps the greatest triangle-hater of all time now has a gig as the Japan correspondant for Halverson's mag. They even mention blue shadows in Nick's bio.

The Japan section's not bad - it reads like a strategy guide for buying games in Akihabara or something. No word on whether anybody in Japan has challenged him to a kanji showdown, or what his feelings are on Ken Kutaragi's anouncement that PS3 will be capable of displaying 120 fps ("lies! I only count 119!"), but he does manage to namedrop both Hi-Saturn Navi and Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom, which means he's managed to out-hardcore every issue of Game Informer put together in a single paragraph.

His writing's alot more restrained these days though, if this first article is any indication. I think somebody needs to go and piss him off before the next issue; anybody in a position to completely mangle the FFXII translation with feeble Paris Hilton jokes?

Ha. Funny stuff. Is this in the DQVIII issue? I gotta check it out.

No, its in the previous one, with Condemned or whatever on the cover. "Blue Shadows", heh.

I think he wrote his own bio:

"Deep,pseudophilosophical discussions on the nature of videogames and whether or not they have intrinsic artisitic value are of no interest to him - such masturbatory intercourse leads nowhere and eventually one will find himself unable to see the forest for the Deku Tree".

:wtf:

Actually I'll bet that Halvy wrote that...

I was wondering how long you guys were gonna pick up on this.

Anyhow, I guess his stint with trying hollywood is over.

Speaking of former GF'ers working for PLAY; I saw shidoshi's name heading a list of current anime favorites several issues ago (maybe like a year ago now). I forgot to bring it up on here until now. However, I don't think I've seen his name since and I read every issue thoroughly (though I'm two behind which is why I didn't know about this Nick Rox business).

So, what the deal, 'dosh.

I could never have the passion for games that these guys do. I sort of envy them, but they're a little, um, nutty.

*cough*

(looks at Shidoshi)

... Is that it?


Oooooooooooh. Better than best of luck, then, if that's true.

Play's my favorite US mag, no hate at all. It looks nice and the writing's not terrible, even if the reviews aren't always trustworthy. Sometimes... I actually BUY it. (ha ha, not YOU though, EGM)

That DQ VIII cover is beautiful.

8 posts and nobody mentioned his Mom? For shame...

I swear we're creating board memes here. Shi's mom, Ironplant and being banned, Mzo, Yoshi...

One day, this board will have a wiki to all this bullshit. I swear.

I seen this a couple weeks ago and meh'd to myself. His first article was terrible, I mean, why should I care about shops in Akibahara.
This moron never deserved ANY praise that he has ever gotten for his writing. He was a walking contradiction that is best left forgotten.

He does have his mother's mouth, though. That has to count for something : )

Heh, cool. I'll have to check that out. I always liked Rox's insane Gamefan ramblings.

That's what I thought when I heard he was back doing gaming mags, yeah.

One has to wonder, is his mom still beating around the bush?

I think it's more, he's now living in Japan (under what conditions, I'm not sure), and is doing a little bit of work for Play because he can give them some Japan stuff.

I hung out with a group of guys on AOL, christ, almost 10 years ago, who had a weird fascination with Nick Rox. Can't say I ever read anything he ever wrote.

some people thought i was nick roxx in PSO(DC) because of the group i rolled with.

They're talking about Nick Des Barres' mom...she's well known for having written a book about how she slept with half of Hollywood.

I think somebody tried with one of the things we had going here and wiki took it down.

I'm trying to get my wiki put back up, and when I do, you all are more than welcome to use it for TNL-related stuff.

Tile Stealing needs a comeback.

I hope you're kidding. Nick Rox was/is an excellent writer. That's not in contention. So he got hung up on blue shadows, big deal, let it go.

Not only that, he's working on the PS3 launch version of Ridge Racer 7 as we speak - it's holographic, *double* online, and moves at 118 fps! :eep:

I hope Nick is more open minded on gaming than he was at Gamefan. He bashed anything non-Japanese more than Recap.

Recap is an asshole.

what?

I agree completely.

So the old Gamefan staff are slowly reuniting? Any sign of Casey Loe (aka Takuhi, my favorite of the GF editors)?

I want ECM and Halverson under the same roof. And Scary Larry.

Hey isamu, Nick Rox told me to invite you over to his place to try out the only pressing ever made of Outrun 3.

*quickly pulls tarp over head*

IMO Casey Lowe, especially after the Versus Books he took part in, is the best of the lot. He's the only editor aside from ECM who's ass I would shamelessly kiss online.

I don't think he's soiling his hands with HGM but who knows! One can hope.

was Casey Lowe the cult guy?

I think he frequents the Gaming Age boards,from what that old Gamefan thread pointed out.

Wasn't Zidane obsessed with Nick Rox? Or was that someone else? All this TNL backstory is blurring together now, a wiki is indeed needed.

Was he Takuhi in Gamefan? If so...<3<3

He was wonderful.

Yeah he was!

He's dreamy.

For real. I always trusted his opinion in Gamefan, and looked foward to reading his writing far more than the others. I bet he's sexy.

I'd place money on that, too.

In his picture he looks like Leonardo DiCaprio. Kind of.

I better have been left off of that list because I'm here all of the time, thus I've lost that "GameFan celeb" sheen.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Lost the sheen over time, yeah.

>_>

<_<

I'd a figured, you know... you'd be all about kissing schoolgirl ass... given your preference when it comes to members of the opposite sex...

I'm sorry, I don't follow.

Is there some well known joke about me and girls on this forum?

HAY LOOK MAZO, THERE'S A 16 YAR OLD!!eleven

So is Haohmaru too cool for us now? What did we do with MVS, again?

We made him hate what he once loved.

Or perhaps that was the evils of time. Either way, tnl is full of fags.

I like Haoh, and wish he would post here so I could make fun of him for having more DC stuff than me.

I'd kiss you Shidoshi. Not your ass. That's just gross.

AND HEY JOSH! YUR A FAG!

No. You are.

Don't make me post a picture of Bridget, and make you all turn gay.

Bridget's teh hot.

... So, there's a new rule if you have to cos-play as bridget. Either make sure you're a REALLY pretty guy, or just a pretty girl. Google search doesn't give me anything good. Yuck.

Do you guys that having Nick direct the new Dragon Quest live action movie will bring Mzo and I closer together?http://img89.echo.cx/img89/5807/cry0jo.gif

There's a verb missing there. But yeah, i hope so.
