Be Artificial In Your Movements

At this point, I’ve played an afternoon or so of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood multiplayer, and I just have to say, it was everything I hoped for. A long time ago, I bought The Ship, because it sounded really cool. The idea of having one target you had to sneak around and kill sounded like a […]

Why Does Acquire Feel So Random?

I wonder where the luck/strategy threshold is for Essner. So we played Acquire this evening, a game which has a strong random element to it. You draw tiles from a box that you can play on the board. Knowing what kind of connections you can make with tiles and guessing what various hotels your opponents […]

A Theory Of Why I Watch LPs And So On.

I remember when I was young, and we had Comedy Central. Late at night, at the crazy late time of midnight, they would show Mystery Science Theater 3000. It was a magical show, and I remember trying, each and every time when I didn’t have to get up early the next day, to stay up […]

She Gets It

Today, my mother asked about buying a 360 for her TV downstairs. I thought this was a bit silly, but I told her the price. She didn’t feel like it was worth 200 dollars. When I asked her why she wanted one, it was so she could play games. Well, hey, that seems like the […]

Eulogy for Flock

Flock sent me an e-mail today, telling me of it’s death. Right around the time I fell in love with having two monitors, I heard about Flock. Originally a fork of Firefox, and eventually a fork of Chrome (and changing right around the time I changed over myself, like it loved me), Flock was supposed […]

I Will Advertise To Pastry Chefs, Fortune Tellers, and Antique Dealers.

I’m all like, “Shit, I want to play more games on this expensive tablet I bought for games.” So I went looking for an excuse to buy a game. Hot Springs Story was on sale. Thus, I bought it. As you might guess from the name, Hot Springs Story is another simulation game from the […]

Tiny Tabs Can Only Mean One Thing

The tabs in Chrome are getting so small that I can’t even make out the little icons of the pages. That’s kind of crazy. Maybe I should leave some links for you here, so I can close some of these windows. Do you like bananas? Do you like sculpture? Maybe these creepy sculptures would be […]

Art Game Alert: Facebook Is The Future Mind-Reading Device

A long time ago, I fell in love with a little game called Digital: A Love Story. Sure, it was a little cheesy, but it was creative, and it had its heart in the exact right place. Catching up on Rock, Paper, Shotgun, I found out the person who made it had created another little […]

Rocket Legs Bring Endless Enjoyment

After loving Bayonetta so much, I had to play more of what Platinum had to offer. They made me fall in love with a genre I didn’t give much of a shit about. What could they do with a genre I generally enjoy, that of the third person shooter? Well, it wasn’t the revelation that […]

I AM THE LIGHTNING THIEF! I mean, you didn’t ask, but I thought I’d let you know.

It’s a movie three-pack! A three pack of movies. Yeah. More movie blogs than you can shake a movie at! Or something! Anyway. After a fantastic dinner made by my sister-in-law, we all sat down to watch Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Or Lighting Thief, if you trust what I originally typed, […]
