Big Hog's Blog

Unless you were living under a Dwayne Johnson last year, you will have heard of the sad passing of one of Western Civilisation’s most beloved icons: DMX. DMX was born Earl Simmons on the 18th of December in 1970. The ‘D’ stood for ‘Dark’, the ‘M’ stood for ‘Man’ and the ‘X’ didn’t stand for anything. It was just ‘X’. A teacher, X would show the world how to ‘stop, drop, shut ‘em down, open up shop.’ A generous man, X’s inclination was always to ‘give it to ya’, but in the end he had no more of ‘it’ to give. He is survived by his 15 children. (the editor) Dan.   

doin' puzzles and gettin' scared      This is full of spoilers Just finished playing 'Silent Hill 4: The Room' and it's here I stop with the Silent Hill series. If you're reading this (and not somebody I'm forcing my blog on) you're probably a Silent Hill fan and already know these first four games are the ones developed by the illustrious ( though at times apparently dubious ) Team Silent.  After '4' the Team Silent dissolved.

I didn't play P.T. It is with great distress the whole thing passed me by before I g...

This is the first blog of Big Hog's Blog.  I'm actually not a hog. I'm a bloke.  Sort of like how Donkey Kong isn't a Donkey at all. He's an ape. And he's not even an ape.  He's a fuckin' cartoon character made for a video game by Shigeru Miyamoto.  And he wasn't even the main character. He was the bad guy.  Not even the main bad guy. That was Bowser.  And Nintendo hired a guy named 'Doug Bowser' as the head of Nintendo America. How fuckin' funny is that? Anyway I digress.... Pixar then ripped off Shigeru and his Donkey Kong Ape to create Wreck-It Ralph.  And this blog I suppose is about shit like that I guess. Thanks! (the editor) Dan.
