IoTM Review: Nonsensical Time Travel.

So, it’s June. That means it’s the month of the crazy, wacky Super-Content Familiar. This time it is the Baby Sandworm. It’s probably my favorite June familiar, hands down. I’ve played all the previous June content areas. I own a Llama, too. Each of the other ones seem like puzzles to overcome in order to […]

The number of times I crossed the streams cannot be counted.

So I beat Ghostbusters: The Vidjeo Game. Honestly, you could probably get away with renting it and then putting in serious time and energy into beating the single player during the rental period. But you should definitely play it. This is how you make a good licensed game, seriously. The game brings the humor, as […]

I like to at least pretend I’m in control, you know?

Work on Saturday night sucked. Why, you ask? Well… So it was looking like it was going to be a pretty big night. A lot of work to do! A lot of stuff to sign. No big deal, everyone is short on hours due to some horrible scheduling issue that’s screwing everyone, staying an hour […]

Obligatory Father’s Day Post

Hey now, look. It’s Dad Day! Yay Dad Day! So say hello and I love you to your father, eh? Or at the very least, thank him for half your genetic material, or something. I know I’m nowhere near the child my father wanted. He wanted someone with at least a passing interest in sports, […]

Utilizing Wal-Mart’s cheap Draft Packs.

So Wal-Mart sells “draft packs.” It is three “random” boosters of Magic hidden behind a Foil land, so you can’t see what you’re getting. They are 11 dollars. Buying three packs alone would probably be at least 13. So, you know, a little discount, mixed with not having to run all over town to find […]

Terror at the Workplace!

I was working at my job. You know, the one that I have to earn money? Yeah, that one. So I was working there, changing all the jewelry signs because I promised Krista I would, so I’m doing that, and then I feel kind of squirmy-itchy around my stomach region. And I’m like “hey, okay, […]

The number of times I’ve killed myself by hitting myself with a rock is embarrassing.

Recently, in searching for a podcast-friendly game (because I so often need those) I’ve been playing Spelunky. I had installed it a long time ago, played like three lives, said “that’s cool” and then put it down. Then I was cleaning up my desktop, and wanted to move the folder I had it installed in […]

Back-breaker

I am currently in bed on my lappy. I am trying to help my back recover. Why? Gods, I don’t know, but my back is in extreme pain. I bent down to pick up the bag containing Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Which has been nothing but awesome so far. Expect a full write-up later, but […]

On Difficulty.

Okay, so I’m going to attempt to make a point about vidjeo gamez. Stand back. Difficulty in video games. On one paw, you have things like this. Horrible, awful things that only exist to be hard and, potentially, drain your will to live. On the other, you have things, perhaps, like this, where perhaps the […]

I’ve wanted to play Rock Your Socks the whole time, but it’s still locked.

Rock Band Unplugged has a bad rap, I think. It’s gotten mediocre reviews, and I’m not hearing about a lot of people playing it. That’s a shame, because it is pretty damn good. Basically, take Amplitude. You remove the techno music, reduce the number of tracks down to four. To compensate for this (since Amplitude […]
