Nothing pisses me off more than tech not working for no reason.

Oh, hi! It’s angry rant time! Yaaaaaay! A long time ago, in an effort to promote awesome multiplayer gaming with the boyfriend, I purchased a copy of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory for the PC. The Co-op missions are awesome, I heard! It was cheap, too! So I just picked it up (a special edition for […]

I should have visited my villian, The Culling Sun, before I totally gave up, I guess.

So apparently City of Heroes is 5 years old recently? So they sent me an e-mail informing me that, hey, free play for a week. Come see our new stuff. So, on a complete whim, I took the time to download the client and play a little more with Crossfox, my hero I haven’t played […]

I guess he won’t be walking in here at odd times to tell me about his MMO characters anymore…

So, my little brother moved out. Good for him, you know? He’s got a small, one bedroom apartment at the top of an apartment building in town. He’s also got way, way more furniture that he can ever use for said apartment, as all my mother has been doing is making and buying him furniture […]

He’s a gun-toting internet addict on the trail of the next big thing. She’s a part-time blogger working to cure the disease that killed her family. They Fight Crime!

Is there anything better than a good random generator? I don’t think so. So here, have another good one. They fight crime! You can thank Brer for showing me that one. There’s something to be said about the context of randomness. Good random humor is actually fairly hard to do. I don’t claim to be […]

Some might call it a failure. I call it… I dunno, some time I spent?

So, on Wednesday, it was finally time once again for a Hamster run. Hodgeman awaited! We were ready to murder in a very tedious and calculated way! But, you know. Best-laid plans. Etc. Etc. Our Sauceror didn’t show up. You can’t get to Hodgeman without a Sauceror! What madness to think you could! We started […]

Sometimes it says I’m a fighter. But I’m not playing a game called “Fighter.”

(Pardon the long, rambling intro. This is a review for Rogue Touch. I promise I get to reviewing it at some point.) I’m relatively new to the Roguelike scene. I played Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon 2 way back in the day on the Playstation, but much like my first play of FFT, I didn’t get it, […]

Recent Depression Attack Debriefing

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, the thing you have to do is break the task into chunks that are not overwhelming. This is just generally useful advice. Seriously, put that shit to work. Do it. Still, sometimes when you’re most overwhelmed, you have problems thinking of things in those terms. You’re freaking out and you can’t […]

The cover shows some sort of coathanger monster, too.

The semester is winding down. That means I’m almost out of novels from my novels class! One more after this! But I finished the second-to-last one, The Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier. And now I will blog about it. If I were to describe the concept of this novel to you, you […]

The Mad Rush: A Best Buy Clearance Story

So, earlier in the week, Rei crossposted a bit of information from CheapAssGamer. There was some good stuff on the list! I was wanting to try Soul Calibur IV and Too Human and Infinite Undiscovery, so I set my phone to let me know to go, and then I went. I got there 15 minutes […]

I am so bad at moving on.

The way I work is fucking weird, man. I don’t know. It was but a day or two ago that I had some really great conversations, some really great time with some really great people, and I felt refreshed, not only just in general but in preparing to start on the huge, complicated quest of […]
