Yo. Catherine. Katherine. Many, many blocks, and pushing them. It was a game I was certainly looking forward to! I preordered it! I bought it new, something I hadn’t really done since Portal 2. The idea of having the main conflict in the game being known vs unknown, exciting vs expected… it seemed like the […]
Captain America might be the first Avenger, but he also starred in a damn good film. Essner described it well. He said they could have gone for a home run, but instead went for a solid double, and succeeded. It had action, it had comic relief, and it treated the subject matter with respect. It […]
When I visited Brer, I had, surprisingly, a lot of time to listen to things in the car. This gave me a chance to do a little of something I rarely do anymore: read. Or, well, be read to. Brer forced a book on me called The Atrocity Archive, so I gave it a go. […]
Double Fine is the Double BEST! Or something. I dunno, I love Tim Schafer and his crew, and I love to give them money! I say this, having never actually gotten around to buying and playing Stacking. Oops! But I did get Trenched, because after I watched this badass quicklook, who could say no? Of […]
Apparently I didn’t write a blog about it, as my search for one is coming up short, but let me just make it clear that I really, really enjoyed Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing for the 360. It was, by far, the best Mario Kart clone I’ve ever played. It’s better than, say, Mario Kart […]
Multipong! The name kind of says it all. Seriously, though, Multipong is kind of cool. It’s Pong Meets Warlords. You basically play Pong in a square, with four players. Using the power of MULTITOUCH, you can actually set your iPad down and have four people move their own individual paddles and play. This, and it […]
Rango is a really strange film. It’s one of them that I watched with Brer, and while it was certainly entertaining, I really had to question a lot of the general world concept. I mean, okay, this is a world with humans, who live like humans do, but it’s also a world where animals can […]
I’m not sure how to organize all this stuff that’s been in my head into a coherent essay, but I’m just going to go for it anyway. Sorry if it doesn’t make much sense or seems really scattershot. When I went to visit Brer, I basically conquered my last thing that I was worrying about […]
Today is a day of story spoilers for L.A. Noire, including, potentially, all DLC, because I’ve played it all. If you have any inclination to play the game and haven’t yet, do it, and don’t read this, please. Mechanical discussion was yesterday: feel free to peruse that if you want to know what the game […]
There’s been a trip in the way, and work, and well, I was waiting for all the DLC to come out and such, but I think it’s about time I talk about L.A. Noire. I’ll be doing it in two parts: tomorrow is spoiler day, so if you care about the story, I’ll be talking […]
