An Adventure of Trial and Error Tasks

I love Telltale. This is not hidden knowledge. Way back in the day, when they announced Nelson Tethers, Puzzle Agent, I was super excited. I love me some Layton, and nobody had really tried to do Layton. It seemed like a great idea. A long time later, after buying a copy on the iPhone and […]

I Spent My Entire Weekend Watching My Little Pony

And I loved it. I’m not all the way through it yet, but I am really enjoying My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It is not a show I am going to recommend to you unless you have a child in the appropriate age range for a show like this. Then goodness, get them in […]

Great Moments In Bad Game Design: Shadow Era Edition

I had heard good things, so I went on my iPad and downloaded Shadow Era. It’s a free-to-play CCG that uses microtransactions for getting new cards. The best part is that they have an “open platform” stance. Your account lets you play on the web, on iOS, on Android, and so on. I love me […]

And Seriously, Who Wouldn’t Want Kitty?

It is a well-known fact that Robots desire companionship in order to help them better understand the hu-mon concept of emotion. However, the problem is that all potential feline companions are always stored behind a complex series of doors and platforming challenges. This is why most robots decide to, instead, go on killing rampages instead […]

I Should Stop Worrying About Clothing

Talking to Cara over a Tendercrisp Chicken Sandwich, I realized I don’t give a shit. Okay, wait, no, let me try that again. Talking to Cara over a Tendercrisp Chicken Sandwich, I realized that I don’t much give a shit about what other people think. I’m sure I’ve said this before, but I am very […]

Never Underestimate The Power Of Good Layouts To Make Information Seem Cool.

I am someone who enjoys a twitter or two. I mean, I look at my twitter all the time. I have a monitor partially dedicated to just displaying tweetdeck at all times. Flipboard is quickly becoming my favorite way to look at twitter. Okay, so the webpage and the demo video seem pretentious as fuck, […]

It Was Cute, Though.

I think I’m still pretty sick of the Zelda formula. I was playing Okamiden, which I got from Gamefly, and I was having a pretty good time. The game struggles to do all the things in 3D that the developers wanted it to. The combat is not all that fluid, for instance. But it was […]

Camaraderie –

Essner and I have played all the way through Army of Two: The 40th Day at this point. We beat it. We did it, bro. It is a really terrible game. It’s frustrating, really, as a game completely based on co-op with really, really stupid bro-action really could be a lot of fun, especially with […]

I Sing From The Diaphragm A Lot.

Spamalot is a strange show. Now, don’t get me wrong. The show was a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed going. The little touches, like the fake program before the program and the audience participation elements were hilarious, and really smart. Most of the jokes were pure Python. The fourth wall was constantly broken, […]
