Not Enough Owls: The Day Videogaming Changed
by John Walker on Apr.26, 2006, under The Rest
Yes, there is no doubt that there are far too many blogs. Yes, there is no doubt that ‘blog’ is a ghastly term. But once in a while, children of the internet, something a little bit special comes along.
If, like me and many others, you’ve often found your enjoyment of gaming hindered by the consistent and quite deliberate exclusion of owls, then I’m pleased to tell you at last some fine, upstanding, virile and remarkably attractive people are doing something about it.
Not Enough Owls is the beginning of what will be a very powerful campaign to end this strigiformiphobia that has been dirtying the industry for over thirty years. Thank you for your time.
**UPDATE**
Not Enough Owls now has a proper home!

What about the creepy owl that appeared in the Psygnosis logo? Granted, he never got a game of his own, but… well… that’s where my argument starts to fall down, really.

I couldn’t give two hoots about this issue. If I had the time I would have a right barn-ey at you.
Man, I’m rubbish at puns.

They’re called ‘owlers’.

Why is the website called Note Noug Howls? And who’s Noug?

The owl in Ocarina of Time was pretty great.
