I Am A Regist-Star.

The Point of Sale. The mystical retail location where people purchase things for money. I was in command of this point. While certainly not the most fun job in the world (and really, what is, in the world of retail) I really don’t understand what the big deal is. People HATE working Point of Sale. […]

Everyday, Ordinary Life Needs More Side Characters

I’ve been watching Nichijou because I don’t like doing useful things like catching up on Doctor Who or getting work done. It’s got the sort of comedy I enjoy, certainly. It’s very surreal a lot of the time. I mean, you saw when I linked the video of the principal suplexing the deer, right? (I […]

Summer Re-Education Film Series: Hot Rod

Essner had the idea that he needed to educate me on all the films, TV shows, and other such audio/visual media that I have been missing due to working, or just not seeking it out. An idea of a summer film series was created, and the first movie in this series was Hot Rod, a […]

None of My Word Processors Say “Couponing” Is A Word.

Going to try to write a blog post here in pages while I wait for my appointment. This, in some circles, is called “multitasking” or “making efficient use of your time.” We’ll see, I suppose. During a family get together type situation, I was exposed to a show called Extreme Couponing. This show seriously follows […]

A Virtua Review

There are two kinds of sports games I enjoy: Tennis and Golf. Mario is responsible for both of those obsessions, so blame him. In any case, I watched this Giant Bomb quicklook of Virtua Tennis 4, and the main campaign mode seemed so crazy that I had to give it a rent and a try. […]

Also, I Really Don’t Think Water Drops Bounce Like That.

Wandering about on the iPad, I sometimes come across games that are neat and stuff. Recently I noticed that Enigmo HD was a buck. This, in it’s non-HD form, was one of those early iPhone games that everyone said you had to play, but I had never played it. I thought it would be a […]

Game Design Via Random Dream

I rarely remember my dreams, but often, when I wake up slightly, my brain takes some part of a story from a dream and keeps telling it, onward and onward, and I have a hint of what I was dreaming about from that. Apparently last night I was having a pretty interesting dream, because I […]

I Hired Four People Specifically To Carry You, But Now That You Have Legs, I Can’t Spare Anyone.

Oh, right, I saw the new Pirates like last weekend. That was a thing. The first Pirates of the Caribbean is an amazing film. It’s flashy, it’s fun, it’s everything a movie that’s trying to just be flat-out entertaining should be. The rest of the forced “trilogy” were not that great (though a recent re-examining […]

Enjoy This Fine Selection Of Shit That Was Open In My Browser.

It’s bedtime, and… oh shit. There’s no blog post ready for today…? Well, fuck it, linkdump time. I find this comic pretty hilarious. It’s a new favorite. Yay comics! Speaking of comics, there’s a reason why Curvy is such a NSFW delight, and it’s pages like this one. Look at that guy dance. I mean, […]

Did I Mention It Is Like Lemmings?

As far as iOS games you should play go, you should probably play Spirits. Basically, think of Lemmings. This game is that. I even just searched for “Lemmings” on the app store, and Spirits was the first search result. You control a bunch of little forest spirits. They’re cute and well-animated. They’re trying to get […]
