The air conditioner in the computer room is a bug magnet. Somehow they manage to crawl through the fucking thing and get in here from time to time. About a week ago, a wasp, of all things, got in here. It wasn’t attacking me or anything. It was just flitting between the two light fixtures […]
I showed one of my poems to Airek, one of my fellow TA’s. It was part of my book of poetry project and was sort of by a character that was kind of very angry and very sexual, but the poem went well, and he thought so too! But he said it reminded him of […]
I thought I would elaborate on the throw-away line yesterday about the BlazBlue soundtrack. I’m really quite addicted to it, and honestly I don’t know exactly why. It’s completely the same sort of hard rocking crazy guitar solo stuff that was in Aksys’s earlier games, like, say, Guilty Gear. (Okay, maybe this is a more […]
So, I walk out. It’s a normal day. Time to go to the office, then to the press, La Dee Da. Just like any other. THEN. DISASTER STRIKES. I only had 18 minutes worth of podcasts for hours and hours of work. Fuck. I figured I was boned, and would just have to listen to […]
So I was watching the third season of 30 Rock that Essner lent me on DVD (he was totally right, it totally picks back up and is hilarious once you get past the first few episodes) and I had to stop. So I took the DVD out of the 360, which I was using to […]
I had heard some great things about BlazBlue. Second coming of fighting games! (Okay, less that. That was Street Fighter IV.) A really, really great and unique game! I was really tempted to buy it and try it. But no, I told myself, that would be a waste. Then I got Gamefly, and rented it. […]
In stark contrast to Scribblenauts, we have Batman: Arkham Asylum. This is another game that came in from Gamefly, and I was excited to play it! So excited that I immediately lost an entire weekend playing through it from start to finish in like… 3 long sessions. It was that good. The developers made so […]
So everything you’ve heard about Scribblenauts? All of it is pretty well true. You can make God fight Cthulhu and a Giant Squid. You can create just about anything you can think of, and have it do something. Everything looks all scribbly and neat. There’s all these puzzles. You also can’t control any of it […]
So the other day, instead of getting my work done, I banged out some poems. These were more poems from my Presidents of the United States of America poetry project, which started as poems about one album, then turned into a small Chapbook, and has now become, in my mind, a full-blown book of poetry […]
I got it in my head that, for Halloween, I was going to run a one-shot Call of Cthulhu game! I don’t really know why. I didn’t have any experience with it. But hey, I bought the book, and I schemed, and I planned, and on Wednesday, Jonathan, Spaeth, Essner, and Ben all played my […]
