I Post At The Close

After Brer totally didn’t take me to see it, I was afraid I wouldn’t see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in theaters. This bothered me, as I’d seen all the others in theaters. Finally, it came down to Monday. I had the day off, no game in from Gamefly… I had nothing […]

Dogs and Loneliness

What do I want to write about? I want to write about loneliness, I guess. Just skip this post if you want, no worries. I feel like things are pretty decided on the “I have to move out” front. I feel my parents pushing me away, not wanting me in their lives and trying to […]

Whoops, Blew The Bridge Out From Under Me

I beat Red Faction: Armageddon. Red Faction: Armageddon is not a very good game. I mean, it certainly is a game. You shoot dudes in it, for example. They are mostly the same like 3 dudes, over and over, but you can shoot them, and they will die. But it’s kind of dumb. There’s no […]

What May Be The Stupidest Dream I Ever Had

You know what’s super interesting? OTHER PEOPLE’S DREAMS! Yeah, sorry, but this dream was kind of vivid and fucked up, so I will share it. Get out your dream interpretation textbooks and tell me how weird I am. The first moment I can remember was that there was this tournament. It was something multidimensional. It […]

Also, What’s The Deal With The Hummingbird?

I saw a movie called Cowboys and Aliens. I was hoping for a film that had both cowboys, doing cowboy things, and aliens, doing alien things, within it. These groups, hopefully, would fight, causing action scenes to occur and be entertaining. That’s pretty well all I hoped for. Luckily, it delivered just that. If you’re […]

A Book So Good, I Actually Read It.

Matthew Essner, in his infinite wisdom, told me that I should listen to The Magicians by Lev Grossman as I drove up to meet Brer. I, in my infinite wisdom, did not. Because I am stupid. He got on to me when I got back, so I gave in, and started listening to the audiobook […]

The Kid Decided To Write A Blog About Bastion

Yeah, I’m not going to do that narration thing all the way through this. You don’t need to worry about that. Bastion is a fantastic game, completely worth $15 dollars, and you really should play it. I play a lot of games, stupid and otherwise, and very few games have the level of polish that […]

Summer Chrome Tab Cleansing

It’s time once again to clean out the ol’ tabs. A fresh start, with fresh tabs, will do us all a lot of good, don’t you think? Well, too bad, that’s what’s happening anyway. First, let’s start with some comics that have vastly entertained me recently. The last panel of this cracks me up every […]

Sexy, Sexy Block-Pushing

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 […]

He Didn’t Yell “Charging Star!” or “Stars and Stripes!” Once!

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 […]
