How could a game with bunnies wielding magic go wrong?

So there is a fighting game out there called Battle Fantasia. At some point, I got it into my head that it was very button-masher friendly. I also got it into my head that it has a bunny wizard. Therefore, it seemed like something I should rent from Gamefly, so I put it in my […]

None of the colors on the icon are “Chrome.”

So there’s a computer in my office up at school, and when I got it, it had been wiped, all fresh and clean for me. This meant I had the “only Internet Explorer” issue. So, of course, the first order of business is to get another browser up ins, stat. Normally, of course, you go […]

Big Ol’ Grading Weekend

I remember, way back at the beginning of the semester, when I was told that “You should really look ahead to see where major assignments are, and not schedule papers due around that time!” Man, that’s some advice, huh? That I didn’t follow? Yeah, I’ve got the first big paper for my class now, and […]

An important day for Pastafarians, surely.

Arr and avast, matey! Happy talk like a pirate day to ye! Avast. Um… scurvy dog…? Yeah, that’s about it. I was sad, though, that my class wasn’t on Talk Like a Pirate day… oh the activities I could have done… granted, I still did a little bit, but, you know, it’s kind of lame […]

An update about how I’m doing with the thing I’m doing.

So it’s been a couple weeks since I started seeing a therapist. It’s, um, been going well, I guess. I’ve been brought nearly to tears just about every single time I go, so that at least means I’m hitting, to some extent, the heart of SOMETHING that is the matter. So that’s nice. I have […]

Tea T T T T TEA

So there are some puzzles in Layton and the Diabolical Box about making Tea for people. I love the game, but these puzzles are kind of bullshit. The majority of the puzzles in Layton normally have a trick. Many of them can be solved through old school trial and error, but there’s normally something you […]

Phat Over-The-Wireless-Network Pipes

So I remember when I wanted to get a phone with data. “Man, I need something with a good browser!” I said. “Something that will really do all kinds of internet-ing.” I’m still completely glad that I have a phone with data now, but man, I rarely, if ever, use the browser. And not because […]

Potential and Theoretical Dog Woes

So the parents continue to get braver and braver in the more and more empty-nested world they find themselves in, and are actually, now, taking a pretty big trip in October. This is going to leave me alone in the house with the puppy dog for like, a week. This has me worried. I mean, […]

Another post about friendship.

So on the fabled 9/9 of 09, I was lucky enough to get to play through the entire story mode of Beatles: Rock Band with my friends, from start to finish. We strummed away on plastic guitars like nobody’s business. We sang and harmonized our hearts out. We made jokes during boring parts. We generally […]

Apparently you can’t use the Lips mics for online voice chat, though.

This is the beginning of what is probably like all kinds of posts about Beatles: Rock Band. Because, hell, I dunno. I’ve got many things to say about the game. And things around the game. Yes. Anyway, on Thursday I spent over 80 dollars on microphones. Well, okay, only 50 dollars of that was on […]
