On the Stake: You Deserve So Much Better, Patrick Stewart

Thanks to the super-cool dudes at On The Stick, I played Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Now that I’ve talked about the gameplay, I get to talk about the plot. So, I suppose, this is spoiler territory if you care. Consider yourself warned. —OMG SPOILARZ— Poor Patrick Stewart. There is so much bad monologue in this […]

On The Stake: I Shimmied Across Every Ledge

I entered a contest, and then I won a contest, thanks to the fantastic people over at On the Stick. I had entered both because I had a good idea and because I wanted to support them. They’re making a fantastic podcast over there, I think. Not just a “for Talking Time” production, but a […]

As Always, Another Problem Happened

There’s a thing going on with Brer. Not going to get into it out of respect to him. Ask him yourself. The important part is, the end result is that, unlike what was to happen before, he probably won’t be visiting me over Christmas break, and future plans are also now questionable, though not impossible. […]

Unless You Are My Parents, You Probably Won’t Find This Post Useful

End of the Semester has me going and going. Lots of stuff getting done. So that means it’s time to multitask. Two birds, one stone. That means that this Christmas list that I need to write for my parents? You’re getting it here. Here’s the sort of things that I, as a horrible consumer puppet, […]

Do You Like… INTERNET VIDEOS?

I kind of do. And since I was dropped such a huge bad news bomb today, I am going to bet you are. Videos! On the internet! Who would have imagined? If you haven’t watched the Gran Turismo 5 Quick Look on Giant Bomb, it is an epic experience. I recommend it. I feel like […]

Wedding Aftermath

I only cried when I was walking in the back after the ceremony and hugging Jonathan and Shauna, so that was nice. I delivered my toast without issue, and the following copy of Bill and Ted with the wedding present went over as wonderfully as expected. We had a dance rave during the reception, complete […]

Why Light Dynamite? Shoot It With A Sniper Rifle.

Since why not, the night before the wedding I saw A Warrior’s Way. Man, what a mis-represented movie. You see stuff for this film, and it’s like, “Ninjas! Cowboys! Fighting! Special Effects!” And then you get in and watch the film and it’s like, “Surreal visuals! Strange voice-overs! Rarely any fighting!” Seriously, you come to […]

Happy Marriage Times, Jonathan and Shauna.

My brother’s getting married today, and that is top of cool. I could write about that, but the fact is, I already have written about it, in the speech I’m going to give. I think I’ll just share that here for posterity, as it really does show how I feel. When I think back, really […]

Dream House

I can’t count the doors, really, as that would break the illusion, but there are a lot of them, hallways and connections and stairs, and each is perfectly labelled with the name of you, or you, one who I know (is a real person doing real things somewhere out there, living a life I’m not […]

I Would Like To Purchase This Game Now

I’ve been staring at this screen for half an hour attempting to come up with a topic. I don’t have one. So, you know, I guess I’ll just say this. I really fucking want Ghost Trick. They posted this flash demo, and I played through it a day or two ago, and man, now I’m […]
