![]() “I hope you enjoy cleaning up this mess later.” “You’re so funny-looking, zookeepers keep thinking you’re a flamingo.” “You’re so funny clowns look at you when they want to laugh.” Imagine the following scenario as the two participants are flinging rubber duckies, stethoscopes, faucets, coals, and necklaces at each other: To bolster this claim, here’s an argument that broke out between my avatar and Thumbnal (a female resident I created whose face looked like a thumb). The drama in Tomodachi Life is never all that high-stakes, and that also seems to suggest that none of our problems on this world-if you can afford a Nintendo handheld and a videogame-are really all that bad. We have our three or four things we like to do, and we really just want someone to listen to us gripe about our problems and drama. We may extol individuality, but the game paints a grim reality, in which we’re all pretty much the same. Nobody ever is really all that interested in anybody else’s business we’re all just waiting our turn in conversation to say our piece and go about our lives.īy using technology to emulate humanity, it reminds me of Seaman, which also commented on how increasingly mechanical we are becoming as humans. And, again, here’s futility: I could only tell Finster one of three or four pre-selected responses. “You must live such an interesting life.”įinster (a female avatar I created with a ponytail and a Cro-Magnon brow) gave me $6 and set me back on my way. “Have you done anything interesting lately?” One of the creepiest exchanges I had went like this: From time to time, they ask about me, but not with much depth. In an added wrinkle to any reading of the game, you also exist in the game’s world: I am referred to by my residents as “David’s look-alike.” They think I am a copy of my avatar. Helping someone make friends with someone else (telling them what demeanor they should have) gets you $30.īut even within this cosmos, there is very little value placed on your actual relationship with the Miis.Teaching someone what to say when they’re happy nets you about $12.Judging someone’s funny face earns you $9.But the only thing Tomodachi Life values above money and gifts are relationships-evidenced by the sheer amount of cash you’ll earn when you do things that aid friendship, marriage, or ending disputes between Miis.īy way of proof, consider the following figures: It is a world where you earn money by doing things that makes other people happy, only to spend that money to make them happier. What they needed help with doesn’t matter-it could be a break-up or a celebration dinner. Perhaps it’s a meal at your favorite Indian place. Someone pings you, you come to their rescue, and they give you a trinket as thanks. To cry into because you lost? Or to cry because you realize many of our relationships in life are no deeper than these exchanges? For example, as thanks for you playing and then losing a game of Concentration, you’ll be given a box of Kleenex. ![]() Sometimes there are little nods to the game fucking with you. These are only to be used to give to someone else. In addition to money, the items they give you are the game’s other form of currency. They give you something after you did something for them. ![]() Your residents tell you this after you do something for them. Sbaitso– circa-1992-quality voice acting, your residents will tell you over and over again, “Here. It’s a world of transactional relationships, whose only respites are adjourning to buy miscellaneous necessities like hats or groceries.īut the transactions go both ways. You never learn what the fights are about you are just counted on for menial tasks and to keep each characters’ happiness meter from dipping to become a dreadful blue sadness meter. So what, then, is the player’s role in all of this? You are a glorified godlike babysitter, needed only when your Miis are having life crises ranging from hunger and needing to sneeze all the way up to wanting to ask someone else out for a date or advice on how to patch up fights with other residents. This is not an original criticism to make, and would feel unfair to levy elsewhere, but Tomodachi Life seems to be intentionally wagging this in your face: Your characters are literally stuck on an island, only have a handful of activities (go to the café, visit an amusement park, check out the concert hall, etc.), and the big twist is that they don’t really need you to do any of them. The above quote comes from the game’s press release, and the “anything” that can happen is predetermined, of course, by whatever Nintendo has programmed into it to allow your residents to do. Where others will see bobble-headed Miis and welcome Christina Aguilera into their island’s apartment building willy-nilly, I see the most vibrant futility simulator this side of the Mississippi. ![]() It’s entirely possible I am projecting onto Tomodachi Life.

Canvey Island features prominently in Oil City Confidential. ![]() Julien Temple, the English documentary filmmaker, made a trilogy of movies about British rock and roll, namely The Filth and the Fury (about The Sex Pistols), The Future is Unwritten (about Joe Strummer and the Clash), and the final one Oil City Confidential (about Dr. Feelgood were gangsters all right, but of the Johnny Guitar Watson variety. Feelgood albums, Down by the Jetty, Malpractice and Stupidity are gems that belong in any serious collection. Feelgood, there might not have been the Punks, who came soon thereafter and made a living out of rejecting the usual. Joe Strummer of the Clash recalls them as “like a fucking machine.” They sweated their way into the hearts of a disaffected young hungry audience, one that felt abandoned by the sheer pomposity and non-accessibility of what surrounded them. Feelgood was a mesmerizing band and they took the London club and pub circuit by storm. But instead they were rock and rollers.ĭr. One commentator of that period described them as a bunch of characters who might have come from “an unsavory faction of the army.” They could have easily been mistaken for English gangsters, stick-up artists or smash and grabbers, genuine spivs. The band all wore suits, the kind that locals referred to as “bastard suits” (wide lapels and flared trousers). Feelgood lineup was Lee Brilleaux, the Big Figure, John B. Feelgood arrived at the time of the Pub Rock movement, an up-from-the-bottom reaction to prog rock and the over-excessive production afforded bands whose members usually had double-barreled names like St. They played a hybrid brand of rhythm and blues with mucho gusto, replete with songs from the likes of Chuck Berry, Lieber and Stoller (especially Riot in Cell Bock Number Nine), Muddy Waters, Rufus Thomas, and their own Wilko-penned songbooks. This is where Wilko and his bandmates grew up. If you would carry on walking east through the mud flats and they miraculously formed a bridge, you would wind up in Belgium. A still functioning oil and gas refinery with storage tanks stood across the creek. Large oceangoing freighters and tanker ships were piloted up and down the channel. During Wilko’s formative years, Canvey Island was all busted up and broken, reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen’s Asbury Park after its demise as a carnival seaside town. Canvey Island was a holiday resort popular in the 1950s amongst London’s East Enders, mostly working people, the proverbial have-nots. It is on the Thames River estuary, an off-the-beaten track wasteland then, southeast of London. That neighborhood is Canvey Island, Essex. They had a hit song called “Shakin’ All Over.”Īround 1971, Wilko Johnson teamed up with some neighborhood pals who were toying with the idea of forming a musical group. The latter was the guitar player for a British band called Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. Wilko’s major influences musicianship-wise were Bo Diddley and Mick Green. Wilko Johnson is an English electric guitarist and a singer. But I started my Wilko listening journey before that even with the band Dr. And way before that, I listened to his various Wilko Johnson Band efforts, the records made when he was a member of Ian Drury’s Blockheads, and his own outfit called The Solid Senders, going all the way back to 1977. A few years before that, I listened a lot to his previous album Going Back Home, a joint venture with Roger Daltrey, The Who singer. I’m listening to the latest Wilko Johnson record called Blow Your Mind. ![]() Bang! – The Unstoppable Force Meets the Immovable Object ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He attends Insomnia Games Festivals on a regular basis and Dan can be seen on many games shows like Lorraine, from ITV, and Technobabble from CBBC.
