Obligatory Father’s Day Post

It’s the day of fathers. I love mine. Dad, I doubt you’re ever going to read stuff like this, and that’s okay. You don’t have to. You keep doing your thing. Because your thing has always been wonderful. You’ve always had me in mind, you’ve always wanted to help me and make sure I was […]

My Electronic Entertainment Expo Ramblings, Part Sony

Everyone was all like, “Man, I hope Kevin Butler shows up at the Sony Press Conference!” And then he did. And as his little segment went on, and on, and on, and on, everyone realized he’s really only funny in small doses. And then there was a few more video montages. That was basically the […]

My Electronic Entertainment Expo Ramblings, Part Nintendo

They announced a new Kirby game. I mean, I guess they did other stuff too, but damn, THEY ANNOUNCED A NEW KIRBY GAME. I love Kirby. I am so excited about Kirby’s Epic Yarn. I want to buy four right now. The art style looks fantastic, and I completely trust them to create a Kirby […]

My Electronic Entertainment Expo Ramblings, Part Microsoft

Because there isn’t enough of them on the internet, here comes my impressions of the big three press conferences at E3. In Chronological Order, of course. So let’s start with Microsoft. Microsoft… did okay? Their presentation was very split. They were trying very hard to push Kinect seriously while not making a Nintendo sort of […]

“What is a furry?”

Cara asked me, due to a casual mention in a video I was showing her, “What’s a furry?” I didn’t really have a good answer. I mean, I don’t know, I asked Brer and he’s like, “Eh, I just like the art and porn and such,” and that’s a perfectly fine explanation. But that doesn’t […]

I Liked to Pretend That Each Nanomachine Was a Tiny Metal Gear.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is out, and people were saying it was really great! I was like, “Man, I’d like to play a good Metal Gear game again…” and then I realized I had MGS4 just sitting on my shelf, and I had only played the first chapter. Then I played through it and […]

I mean, come on. It opens with a quote from Lovecraft.

The free version of Eversion has been sitting on my desktop for months. Everyone was telling me I needed to play it, but I continued not to. Probably not out of spite. Probably. Then it showed up on Steam, and I was making a Steam purchase, and I’m like, eh, okay. So basically, I spent […]

No, seriously, you draw 18 cards a turn. That’s normal, right?

I am so good at fucking up rules. When I played my first game of Thunderstone, I read it as “Go to the Village, Go to the Dungeon, AND Rest every turn.” It’s really “Or.” That’s kind of a big deal. Still, though, Thunderstone is as advertised, and I was pretty pleased with it. How […]

Now A Major Motion Picture Without Quotation Marks

The Road is a fine film. This is mostly due to it being based on a fine book, but it was also put together with love. I see that, back then, I was very doubtful that the movie would be any good. I think I was both right and wrong. The Road is a good […]

Someone From This Plane of Existence Would Go In.

It’s not easy being a Bard/Rogue with a bow. For one, sometimes a bunch of lizardpeople attack the town when you’re just trying to get a fucking drink, and you have to shoot them up with arrows. That’s something. For another, you could be teamed up with a band of misfits who decided to name […]
