When I’m Standing Up For Myself, You Know I’m Mad

You can tell I’m stressed because I’m standing up for myself. Or at least being very clear about it. Allow me to offer some examples. A student who has shown up about 35 minutes late for class every time so far e-mails me asking me about assignments he’d know about if he’d actually show up. […]

I think I’ll use this Sniper’s Rifle.

Hey, guess what! It’s time for a blowoff post where I point you at someone else’s content you should watch! Okay, it’s only kind of shirking my duties that only I think I have, I suppose. But hey, people make better stuff than me, You should go enjoy it. Like, say, this Dead to Rights […]

Riblet Ribtastrophe

Applebee’s removed their burger from their 2 for 20 menu. I honestly don’t understand why. One would think the burger would be one of the cheapest things they could serve on that menu, which would mean they’d jump for joy when I ordered it. But no, it was gone, so I had to think fast […]

Lara Croft and the Jackass Who Keeps Blowing Me Up With Remote Mines

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is really, really good. Essner and I basically played through it in two very long sessions. We probably put, at the very least, close to 8 hours in on it. It was fun for the whole time. It’s really good. Now, I’m not someone who has ever really […]

I Kept Asking People If They Wanted To Play Anime Doctor

I don’t know if I’ve made it clear enough, but I really, really hate pointing the Wiimote at the screen. I hate it with a passion. This is why it’s so shocking that I enjoy Trauma Team so much. Because I really do. Trauma Team is fantastic. When I say Fantastic, I mean the gameplay […]

I Do Think The Old-Style Logo Is A Nice Touch

I have heard people, mostly Brickroad, go on and on about how awesome Pepsi Throwback is. It’s made with real sugar, and is apparently something to stockpile! However, even though I am quite the Pepsi-drinker, I’ve never really gone and gotten a Pepsi Throwback. However, during my last trip to St. Louis, I stopped to […]

Please Rank Your Q.

Random thread on Talking Time lead me to downloading some more iPod games. One of them is called QRank. It is free and awesome. Basically, QRank is a trivia game. Every day, there is a grid of 20 questions. 8 are 200 point “easy” questions, 8 are 400 point “medium” questions, and 4 are 800 […]

Busyness Can Mean Only One Thing: Linkdumps

I am super busy, as I can get. Things are happening and happening. So hey, here’s a linkdump post. Through the Talking Time IRC and various talkings about it. I discovered this youtube channel. Retsupurae is pretty funny stuff. I mostly enjoyed the LPs of various horrible flash games that are up there. However, Val […]

If the Complete DVD Set Was Cheaper, I Would Have Bought It.

Animus are always an issue for me. I do like them, when they’re good. The problem is that there is so, so much crap out there. I never feel like I have any idea where to start when looking for the really good stuff, especially when it’s the strange, weird things I enjoy. For example, […]

Ill Omen of Failures to Come

On Monday, my students came to class having read the wrong chapter. I wrote the wrong one on the board, and they did the wrong assignment. This kind of caused me to have to ad lib for the class that day. I feel like I did alright with having planned to talk about a completely […]
