Omikron: The Nomad Soul REVIEW Preview Part 1

[Poonard]

God this game rules. This is my favorite game for Dreamcast...my friend just picked up the PC original and it's even better! THis game is a life sucking, soul sucking, time wasting gem. If you haven't played it, PLAY IT.

@fuck192ass: No, they are those guys who score with four chicks at once.

@fuck192ass: Did you know that Arabs piss sitting down ?

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: Yeah right ! And I'm Pamela Anderson. ( * )(  * )

By the way, did you see Barb Wire ? It's another post/after-modernist masterpiece (of shit). It's a spoof of Casa Blanca. Find it and watch it, it's extremely post-modernist. It's so bad that it's good.

@fuck192ass: .the brothels in Qualisar remind me of my neighborhood, and so on.

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: Well I too have studied post/after-modernism and the impact it had on the world. Omikron is one of the many recent post/after-modernist masterpieces I have seen. It reminds me of 1984 and Lanark, it is very heterotopic - Jaunpur reminds me of Byzantium, but within its boundaries lies Jahanghir Park which reminds me of the Maya civilization, and somewhere in this park lies hidden the necropolis of Hamashtagan which reminds me of Egypt. The game is 100% post/after-modernist.

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: The fact that it is a departure from modernism doesn't mean that it is totally against modernism. Post/after-modernism is different from modernism, but not against it. These two genres aren't two different things. They are the same color, it's just their hue that's different.

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: Maybe you should stop relying on Wikipedia this much and start looking for other sources as well, like " Beginning Theory " by Peter Barry. Modernism was anything but scientific; it placed emphasis on subjectivity and individualism; HOW we see is much more important than WHAT we see. You must be confusing "modernism" with "modernity".

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: I strongly suggest that you should read " Beginning Theory " by Peter Barry. Only a nonprofessional would say that post/after-modernism rejects modernism. The only thing it rejects is the distinction between high and popular culture ( page 85), but that's it ! It doesn't despise modernism or any other previous movement for that matter. Post/after-modernism is basically a hybridization between traditions and cultures.

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: Actually, the "post-" implies something that proceeded something else.

In case you didn't know there are terms like pre-modernism, pre-Enlightenment, pre-Reformation, etc. These terms express something that preceded something else. Postmodernism doesn't reject modernism, like I said, you don't know the first thing about postmodernism. Modernism and post/after-modernism differ only in terms of their attitudes toward everything else; postmodernism isn't against anything.

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: I'm insisting on this issue because that's how things are; postmodernism is not as formal and incorporating a term as after modernism. You are truly ridiculous in trying to discredit the term "after modernism". There are terms like "pre/post-Reformation" and "pre/post-Enlightment", if you assert that the "after" is ridiculous you implicitly state the same thing about the "post" in postmodernism since "post" is pretty much synonymous with "after".

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: They use "postmodernism" in non-academic instances. Both terms are correct and even professors use them interchangeably, it's just that that "after modernism" is more academic than the other one. Also, there are certain people who think that "postmodernism" doesn't include post-postmodernism, so when referring to everything that proceeds from modernism (postmodernism & post-postmodernism) they use " after modernism" to refer to both of these trends.

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: They were expressing a fact, actually. Most publications use the term "post-modernism" but in the academic world the preferred term is "after modernism". At least this is the term my professors were using during courses. It's funny how you insist that there is no such thing as "after-modernism" when you aren't really qualified to talk about matters of this kind. Again, telling me what term is more academic is like telling your daddy how to have sex.

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: Well I guess you know more about this matter than my university professors do. Telling me what term is more academic is like telling the pope how to pray.

[Fantezism]

@fuck192ass: "After modernism" is preferred to "post-modernism" in the academic world. My definition is based on my personal impressions, and from what I have seen so far post-modernism/after modernism is a school of thought that likes to blend cultures together, Omikron is just that; a cool amalgamation of cultures and civilizations.

[Fantezism]

You've gotta admit, Omikron is an excellent game; if you are an educated individual and keen on after modernism ( after modernism = just blend cultures together and have fun while doing it ) Omikron is the perfect game for you.
