I am unsure if the path thing was actually real, or just a Fate of Atlantis reference, but I picked WITS.

So, you’ve played Ben There, Dan That! You’ve both Ben there and Danned that. So what do you do? Well, you give a nice indie developer 5 bucks and move on and play Time Gentlemen, Please! The description on their website there is pretty well completely accurate. Time Gentlemen, Please! is bigger, better programmed with […]

Is there a switch that needs flipping?

So I’ve got Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. It looks so great! I’ve played some of it, and it’s so good! So what do I do? Why, I buy a completely different pair of Indie games and play those instead, of course. Why would I want to play the awesome retail release I just […]

I hear Japan is the Best Country Evar.

Dateline: Labor Day Weekend! On a whim, I remember that the Missouri Botanical Gardens is having some sort of Japanese Festival! I say to myself, “Self, you never fucking DO anything. Sure, spending all weekend playing the excellent Red Faction: Guerrilla would be time well spent, but shouldn’t you go DO something?” So I called […]

There were tons of dialog options!

Saturday night, I dreamed I was in an Adventure Game. There were at least three distinct time periods, and I could travel between them for some reason. The one in the “past” was some sort of party, there was a “future” where I was in some sort of TV or Movie studio where something involving […]

Why Urban Dictionary is not your friend: A parental story.

So, I bought a T-shirt, as I am fairly often doing. I noticed that the sloshy t-shirts on Homestar Runner (as first seen in this sbemail and later in this wonderful bit of music.) were on the super clearanceness! So I snapped one up. Because, you know, why not? Seriously. WHY NOT? Anyway, so, as […]

Legitimacee.

So I guess Blackberries are magic or something? Because I put my school e-mail into the phone and it magically can check it somehow, even though it’s some crazy silly proprietary system. Not that I mind that it’s crazy magic and working. In any case, now I get my e-mails about all the work associated […]

This is an unsolicited recommendation.

Do you know what’s awesome? Chainsawsuit. You should all read Chainsawsuit. It is fairly random humor at its finest. I can’t stop laughing at this comic, for instance. And let’s not forget my personal favorite about the Fontalist. Seriously, I have no idea if his other comic is any good, but Chainsawsuit? Now that’s something […]

It seemed appropriate that I played this while I waited for Inglorius Basterds to start.

So if there’s one thing I think we can all agree on, it’s that Hitler is a dick. I mean, what’s up with that guy? Seriously. So we have no choice but to blow up his head in a robot body again and again and again. And again. Forever. But wouldn’t it be better to […]

A vaguely lower-right-hand portion of the screen mashing good time.

Because I am a robot, and I buy anything on the iPhone platform that is ever recommended to me, I read this and I bought Zenonia. There’s nothing particularly off about that review. It’s fairly accurate. But the entire time I was playing away at it, it was hard to do anything but wish for […]

Sometimes they raise their hands. Sometimes.

My class is quiet. I don’t know, I mean, I suppose that’s to be expected. It’s an 8 AM class. Nobody is awake. I’m only awake because I wake up like 2 hours before so I can warm up to it, and I still have to down some caffeine beforehand. So It’s not like I […]
