Lull in Interest

I haven’t touched a Broswer RPG since my classes started up again. Blasphemy? Maybe. I don’t know. But at some point, I told myself “these are for entertainment. If you don’t think they’ll be entertaining that day, you shouldn’t be playing them.” So I didn’t play when I didn’t feel like it, and kept it […]

It’s actually theraputic to stick a shitty game back in the envelope and be rid of it.

I am a fool. It is amazing to me how much enjoyment I am getting out of my Gamefly subscription, and so ridiculous that it took me this long to try it. I mean, I’m a gamer. I enjoy playing the various vidjeo gamez that are out there in the world. But most of all, […]

Ankle Brace: DOES IT WORK?

I woke up the other morning with a familiar sensation. My ankle was hurting like hell. I couldn’t put any pressure on it. So I hopped on one foot, basically, to the bathroom and whatnot. By the time I walked downstairs to pay some attention to the dog, who was very excited that she got […]

NICE TAMBOURINE!

Excitebots is pretty cool. It just frustrates me. The game concept is solid. “How about we make a racing game where getting first place is less important than what you do in the race?” They asked this question, and they came up with a game where everything you do, from solid turns, to jumps, to […]

Dear Molly

Hello, girl! How’s my puppy, hm? How are you, huh? Listen, we have to talk. The fact that you like me? That is so totally cool. I love the fact that you’ll drop what you’re doing to come and see me. I love that you follow me around the house, and that you bring me […]

Simple name, plenty fun.

I’ve said that I’m a fan of the animes that involve Mah Jong. For whatever reason, these shows continue to be mind-blowingly entertaining to me. But it’s only so much fun to watch a game being played, even if it’s being played intensely dramatically. Eventually, you want to play it yourself. But damn, Riichi Mahjong […]

I don’t know why all the cutscenes weren’t in engine, either.

Mirror’s Edge was a game that was kind of exciting to look at from a distance. Here was a game that not only looked unique, but was bringing mechanics you just don’t see anywhere to the table: first person parkour. Oh man, new and experimental, exactly what gaming needs, right? I mean, it’s going to […]

Supposedly this kind of thing will be happening often.

I need to learn to be social with people outside my safe, and completely awesome, social group that I’ve had forever, mostly due to things and other things. So when my fellow TA’s invited me to a party they all were holding to kind of get to know each other, and I had nothing going […]

Granted, I’d still rather my class not be at 8AM, but…

So it seems pretty obvious to me that I made a good choice joining up with the Teaching Assistantship program. I’m about a week into my training, and while it was a fairly exhausting week, both physically (as I had to get used to waking up so fucking early) and emotionally (it’s all new stuff, […]

Not even one porkchop sandwich.

I saw G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra! It was shocking. I mean, seriously, the trailers looked horrible. Like some bad son of Transformers that was going to be painful to sit through the whole time. And yet, my friends decided they were going, so I decided to come along. Maybe it’s just the power […]
