Noel Gallagher has been making some rather odd comments concerning video games lately. A while back, he pretty much blamed violent video games for random stabbings in England. This is what he had to say about Guitar Hero:

“If it puts little plastic guitars into kids’ hands and fires their imaginations, I think that’s a good thing. It’s harmless fun, innit,” he said.

“I’d rather that genre of videogames than somebody getting their fucking head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting fucked by a goblin up the arse with a laser. Do you know what I mean?”

I’m not quite sure if Gallagher says these things because he believes them or because he thinks they are witty. He might be wrong on both accounts, but his statements are always amusing. I’m sure Gallagher will publicly blame video games when the first troll gets abused by a goblin “up the arse with a laser” in real life. Dig Out Your Soul comes out next month and is the 7th Oasis album. Let’s hope it’s at least on the level of Don’t Believe The Truth. I’ll just never like Oasis the way I did their first few albums, but they still put out good music.

Sword of the Stars is a space 4X game by independent developer Kerberos Productions.

Sword of the Stars seeks to streamline the 4X experience through a simplified design intended to avoid feature creep. 4X games in recent years have tended towards complicated designs and steep learning curves, which can be intimidating for many gamers. Sword of the Stars takes a more back to basics approach, leaving out many features such as ground combat and fighters. It also features a more simplified colony development model that replaces buildings with infrastructure, which utilizes the planet’s resource base to provide production points that can be utilized for infrastructure development, terraforming, producing space vessels, and production of trade goods capitalized for money.

Sword of the Stars is also noted for the use of completely different propulsion systems for each race, as well as completely different ship art.
