That One’s Going In The Golden Line Notebook.

I bet I’m late to the party on this, but… Oh. My. Fucking. God. Sprung may be the most amazing game of all time. Every page of this LP of Sprung, I am laughing my ass off. It’s well made, but it’s not just that. The entire game is so mind-blowingly, hilariously bad. I’ve only […]

No, See, It’s The Good Kind of Fanfiction

Last night, after having listened to even more of Tweet Me Harder‘s amazing fanfiction that they’re doing, as well as having recently read Wide Sargasso Sea for class, I got to thinking: There’s a lot of critically acclaimed fanfiction out there. One could think of countless Bible fanfictions, for example, many of them important works […]

Songs What Be Stuck In My Head: It’s A Disaster

I had a soundtrack to the past few days! And it’s this song. Seriously, I tend to go through through phases when I find an album that I just listen to constantly. It’s this kind of obsession that caused me to listen to so much Presidents of the United States of America that I wrote […]

The Blog Where I Put My Personal Thoughts Sucks When I Have Negative Personal Thoughts

I kind of wanted to not write about more doom and gloom. I’m too much that recently. But fuck. I had no time to write a blog today, so this is what you get. Sorry! But hey, you could always watch this video Val shared with me of a dog dancing if you want something […]

I Feel Asleep At Inopportune Moments

I keep falling asleep. It normally happens when I sit down at my desk. I’ll turn on a youtube video or a let’s play or something, and then I’ll just dose off. I’ll keep snapping back awake, because I’m not supposed to be sleeping, but I can’t seem to help it. Eventually, this leads to […]

WordPress Twitter-Posting Plugins Break: Film At 11.

Apparently, Twitter made some sort of weird change. All of the sudden, WordPress plugins couldn’t post things to twitter because they weren’t a “registered application.” This is made more ridiculous by the fact that the website itself needed to be registered as an application, not just the plugin, so the people making the plugins that […]

Vague Talk About Specific Possibilities

I’ve been thinking a lot about Time Management. Mostly in the context of adding way, way more to do to my schedule, and if I can pull it off. Honestly, I think I’m pretty good with time management. I can normally fairly safely estimate the amount of time a task will take me to complete, […]

VeViVeeVyViiV

I had heard many a thing about the indie game VVVVVV when it launched off of the developers website. It got some positive press! What wasn’t all that positive was the price. While I understand how hard, time consuming, and costly it is to develop a game like this, 15 bucks was a hard sell. […]

Games Sometimes Have Variants.

On Friday, we just picked up and went to Lambert’s. Just, you know, for the hell of it. But that’s not all. We also played some Race for the Galaxy. Upon flipping randomly through the rulebook, I stumbled upon a “Draft” variant I hadn’t heard of. It sounded fantastic, so we tried it. It really […]

Not A Turtle Shell In Sight

Blur is a really strange game. I’m sure it’s been talked about before, but it’s hitting a weird middle ground in the racing space. It’s got all these power ups and car explosions and so on in the game, attempting to make it feel very arcade-y. At the same time, it’s full of real cars […]
