The red light on the camera went off. Drew had left a few minutes earlier. Vinny shut the door. This was it. I would finally be able to discover the Secret of the Muppet. I slowly walked up to the Italian Stallion, taking in everything, knowing this would be my one chance - but my eyes never left his. Vinny's eyes were staring through me, into me. Beyond my soul. After what felt like hours, I w...

So, I just got finished watching this week's episode of Psych. The whole thing was an allusion to Twin Peaks, ranging from the location and situations, to the reunion of the Twin Peaks cast. I really enjoyed it. It had that its usual Psych-y charm, but also the Deadly Premonition-eque setting that I fell in love with months and months ago. Now, I never actually watched the show. Yet, having onl...

So, I totally caved. I bought Blops. I didn't mean to. But I have no control. That little voice in the back of my head that compelled me to buy a snuggie? He was too convincing in his whispers telling me to pick up the new Call of Duty. There goes $60. $70 if you include the snuggie from Monday. But hey! While I Best Buy, I also managed to find something cool in the discount bin: Ultraman. Yeah...

I figured now is an appropriate time to post this. It's copied from a list me and some buddies compiled back in 2007. I haven't completely updated all of it. Still a sort of work in progress thing. The following things have happened since Duke Nukem Forever was announced...

Yo, it's amazing. Great tracks throughout. Pretty easy to just sit down, start at the beginning and listen to it all. Probably their best all-together album since Dawn of Victory. Maybe their best yet. Top notch work. Check it out!

So. I have over 1000 posts. Not attaching this to a forum because I feel this is just a self fellating blog post. And sort of a marker of when it happened. Uh, booyah.

What am I looking forward to at E3? The same shit I was last year because it's all fucking sequels. Some surprises would be nice. And of course the press conferences.

Do we really need one of these threads every week? Religion is fine and all that. Be you atheist or theist. But it seems like every single thread ends the same way and has the exact same content. I guess my point is: We don't need anymore of these threads.

FINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALS. No, not the Stanley Cup ones. Though, I'd prefer those to the tests I've gotta do. Got myself a nice finals beard growing, I guess that's a plus. Between studying, eating, and studying, I've had about an hour to game this week - and that time was found by pushing back study time by an hour. Still playing Conviction. I finished off all of the Hunter missions on realistic,...

So, Splinter Cell: Conviction is pretty fun for the most part. It's got some seriously cheap spots and some parts that feel out of place (a defend the thingy mission in a stealth game?) but over all I'm quite enjoying it. Really like what they did with the cover system. Mark and execute works pretty well. Assault weapons are very near useless. Campaign clocked in around 5 hours, like everyone s...

Ok. Here we go. 1) Like a bunch of yall, I think this quest system is amazing/horrible. They're so great, yet they're so detrimental to my health. I love doing these quests. I like seeing those little green pop-ups on completion. I've found games and names I otherwise would never have thought to look up. Except...And worst of all, I haven't slept or eaten these past few days because of this who...

A quick thought So, like all great epiphanies, this one came to me in the bathroom. I'm thinking that companies should offer a "Get all the DLC that comes out" edition.

I'm not especially gifted when it comes to writing. I just wanted to to jot down a quick thought. I'll probably change my mind on the issue in about an hour. I was picking up a few magazines, grabbing a little light reading material for my flight back home (was visiting friends in MA - unimportant to this rambling of the mind). Among the chosen was last month's issue of GameInformer. Ya know, t...
