Obligatory Valentine’s Soundtrack Post

It’s the day of St. Valin the Tined, so named because he had spikes all over him. Maybe. Basically, Valentine’s isn’t a big deal for me this year. I mean, I would never put it up there as a “top” thing, but this year, especially not. Not only am I going to be busy the […]

Great Moments In Bad Game Design: Awakening Edition

I have been playing Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening. In this game, you recruit a party member called Justice. He was a warrior. I had been running a two Warrior, one Mage, and me Rogue setup in the original game, so I was needing another warrior to duplicate that. I was glad to pick him up. […]

Differences In What The World Is

People at work keep pestering me as to why I, as a gamer, do not own a copy of CODBLOPS. It was suggested the other day that I “invest” in a copy. I feel like this is a valid suggestion, of course. I’m sure CODBLOPS is a great game, and I do look forward to […]

Follow Wil Wheaton’s Advice. Don’t Be A Dick.

I got to pick a book to review for the press, as sometimes happens, and so I ended up reading this book called The Right To Be Out, because it has a pretty nice cover and it caught my eye. The book itself is a pretty nice thing. It’s discussing how educators should deal with […]

Images?! On the Internet!!?

Snow cancelled my night class, and in the process, killed any want for me to do anything at all. ANYTHING. Thus, you get this. Internet images. Aren’t you lucky? There are no words to describe this picture. I can’t even parse it. I mean, obvious what Garrus is doing is indeed Sick-Nasty, but his expression… […]

You’re Magic, You Are Magic.

Bayonetta is a game where I can tie an angel up in chains, bondage-style, and tease her until she cums, which causes her to explode in a shower of blood. Bayonetta is a game which ends about 14 times, the last one being an incredibly long and detailed dance sequence. Bayonetta is a game where […]

The First PSP Game With Updates

Little Big Planet 2 just came out! So, uh, I rented Little Big Planet for the PSP. I had basically just wondered what the fuck this was. How would it even work on the PSP? It was a mystery! So I went to give it a go. First off, this game has some seriously technical […]

Late To The Party

I’m currently enjoying the shit out of Bayonetta, a game I am a year late getting to. I’m sure I’ll ramble more about how fantastic that game is later, but the more important part is… well… I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything. I’ve passed that hurdle. I’m sure I’ve talked about it before here. […]

Team 3/7ths Vests Was Victorious

We all win at trivia! Okay, well, we got third. But when first place is the Matt Essner’s Family Power Team, who used to run the trivia night, and second place is the Unstoppable Team of Notre Dame Teachers, well, third place is fucking fantastic. I didn’t expect to kick such ass. I wasn’t, I […]

Currently Unstable, But With A Great Line For A Poem

I’ve had a line in my head all day. It’s a good line. I’m not sure what I’d use it for, and I keep trying different variations. Basically, it’s, “When I’m cold like this, I can’t tell if that’s why I’m shivering.” I’m shaky. Have I not been sleeping enough? I’ve been trying to sleep […]
