Spotlight On Fandom: Jak & Daxter

[unborn-renegade.livejournal.com]

First, as you all know I'm a big fan of visual aids, have a disgustingly catchy fanvid to bring you into my parlour.

Anyway. Let's start at the beginning...

In Ye Olde Times (also known as the Nineties), there was a little gaming studio that could called Naughty Dog. (Well, really, they kicked off in the Year of Len's Birth, 1986, but let's not quibble about details) They got their big break through a 3D action-platformer called Crash Bandicoot after a few bad go 'rounds with other franchises. As it turned out, 3D action-platformers did good, the company was bought by Sony, and they were sicced on the task of making another one under the new imprint.

That was the start of the Jak & Daxter series.

We'll start you off with some character descriptions, run you through the three main storyline games, and touch briefly on all of the surrounding games, woo!

( Cut for spoilers for Jak 1, 2 and 3, and vague spoilers for Daxter, Jak X and Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier. Also: Len being ramblypants. )

Spotlight on Fandoms - Galaxy Rangers

[notagoose]

As I have a new character to be able to do a new spotlight on fandoms on, I'm going to be doing The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers.

The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was a first in many aspects, one if it was the first cartoon to be made using anime technology outside of Japan and also it was the first cartoon of its time to be made without a pre existing supporting toy line to drive the series.
