The ending theme is some sort of ridiculous Mah Jong Metal tune.

So hot off my Mah Jong Anime Kick, I decided to watch another Mah Jong anime. I was told that Akagi was not only better, but the best Mah Jong based show out there. (Then again, I can’t suppose that it’s too competitive a field) My first impression was that it was going to be […]

An “I bought a phone” post.

So I just spent all kinds of money on a brand new phone and a data plan. Exciting times! I am now the proud owner of a Blackberry Bold, one of the newest Blackberries, with all the bells, whistles, and 3Gs. The first question one has to ask when they realize I made this purchase […]

Seriously, though. Seriously. Woah. Seriously.

Apparently this exists. That’s basically all I have to say about the subject, except to be astounded. The world is just an amazing place. you know? You think “hey, I have access to a vast network of computers which can basically give me any information I want at any time. There’s nothing I can be […]

But I am the Chosen One!

So I just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I guess I’m in the minority, but as much as I loved Harry Potter originally, J.K. Rowling’s writing quickly showed how weak it was as they let her write longer and longer novel and she attempted to build up a world she […]

How cute. It pretends it has a plot.

I like music game. There is music game on iPhone. Music game is called Mevo and the Grooveriders: Galactic Tour. It’s good. Buy it. … Okay, fine. So, this game came out on Steam, and it was called Mevo and the Grooveriders. I was interested, because it’s a music game, and I am a person […]

Big Box of Board Game Impressions: Intriguing

There hasn’t been a game I’ve bought that’s been more of a hit than Dominion. And why shouldn’t it be a hit. The game has a completely genius design based around building your deck while you play, and is incredibly easy to pick up while being strategically interesting and fun all around. It really is […]

I’ll be playing cards in a much more dramatic fashion for weeks.

So, there’s a thread on Talking Time. It’s called Fall Anime ’08. The title is kind of incorrect, though, as it’s much more about talking about what Animes are currently running and how they are. (I guess the title was correct, back in Fall of ’08, but it keeps being used. In any case, I […]

Big Box of Board Game Impressions: Super-confusing Card Game… for the Galaxy

Awhile back, I ordered a big box of board games. They have arrived, and we are now playing through them and enjoying them. Etc. So here is some of my first impressions of the games within said big box. One of the games I bought almost completely on a whim was Race for the Galaxy. […]

I still like Idle Thumbs’ title: War of the Broses.

Gears of War 2 ain’t nuthin’ special. It’s the same game, with the same ridiculous dialog, and essentially the same weapons, with some new locations, new gimmicks, and new plot that doesn’t make any fucking sense. It’s completely from the “longer, better, more bad-ass” school of game design. But you know what? That’s pretty alright. […]

I only wish I could have heard some of the musical numbers.

I slept like shit Friday Night! And I had this dream! I was back in high school at Notre Dame, only we seemed to be in the gym of my grade school. We were trying to put together the yearly musical, only for whatever reason, nobody had gotten a head start on it. It was […]
