Wow, I have not posted to this blog in a long ass time. My last blog was in mourning for Ryan Davis. I feel a little weird following that up with me complaining about a video game. So this is a blog post I wrote for my tumblr about Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Now, it started as just me wanting to get my thoughts on it into words, as I sometimes do with games. Then it...kinda spiraled. Like, y...
Today I've shed some tears, but I don't think I've been going through the same sort of grief that some others have. For a while I didn't know why, and I felt like I just had nothing to say. I still kind of do; I made a big long post on facebook about it to a sea of friends who either don't know about or don't care about some internet celebrity, but I don't know if I have anything of real substa...
It is that time of the season, folks, where everyone gets together and spams the General Discussion board with all of their Top 10 Games of the Year lists. I have almost never participated in this event, but not from a lack of desire. Every year, I see the threads and think “man, wouldn't it be cool if I made one of those? And then people could read it and be amazed by my fantastic tastes!” The...
About Last Night... Hey! What's up. How you guys doing? So, some of you may have noticed that I had a blog post up earlier that I quickly took down. I did that because I didn't like it. It felt sloppy and I wanted to rework it. So, in order to not make my page completely bereft of new content, I've decided to post this. The Actual Post This is actually related to my schoolwork. As part of my co...
Hello! Hi, how’s it going. So I’m writing this with the Google Docs editor. It’s kinda sweet. Only thing that sucks about it that it only displays one page, whereas OpenOffice had two pages side by side. So now I’m haunted by all the unused space on the sides of my page. Woe be to the 1080p So I played Dragon Age II. And I beat Dragon Age II. Short review: it’s aight. Long review: you’re not ge...
Post-mortem? Is that the right word? Whatever, all I know is that I wrote an unnecessarily long essay on a game I didn’t exactly love. So here you go. Ostensibly I wrote that last blog for reflection on my cheevo and tro tro habits while discussing the games I played. Instead I waxed indulgent about mostly nothing while making up some not-words. The result being that I didn't really say all tha...
Fuck me. Fuck me. Fuck me. Fuck. Me. Hello, gentle reader. I forget how long it has been since my last blog, and, though I could, I will not check. Because fuck that shit. I run this show, and fact checking is for dopeheads and crackpots. Here I try to recount some of the notable games that I've been playing, mayhaps with some commentary, while fighting against my primal, instinctual, base and...
Hey! Hi! How's it going? Hello! H word! I was originally going to use this space to write about Darksiders . I'm not because Darksiders was kinda “eh” and I would much rather write about an 18 year old boy being in a room with nine sweaty, 40 something guys for 13 hours straight. If that sounds like a bad porno then shut the fuck up because that would be an awesome porno! But it was neither; it...
Christ, I'm effing bushed! I just got back from orientation at New Paltz. Wore my Lincoln Force shirt, ran into some duders, exchanged pleasantries, and then sat through a lecture on rape. College! Last time we met, Children of God, I had retreated into the safe, noncommittal zone of nostalgia by revisiting the late Squaresoft 's PlayStation RPG classics Final Fantasy VII and IX . But then I ca...
So imagine me, long flowing black hair and twelve (yes) rock solid abs, sitting in my swivel chair while pontificating over my growing collection of unplayed games. Struck was I with the responsibility of actually making a decision, of choosing a direction down which I would lead my life into a new future. This frightened me greatly, so in place of committing, I instead decided to crawl back in...
Hey, so my first blog. Like, ever. This is an empowering feeling, ya know. I could put any shit on here, and people would care! Except when they won't, which will be most of the time. But just knowing about all those unsung heroes who do care strokes my ego enough for me to post this. So what should I talk about, with an intro paragraph that pretends I don't already have the entire thing writte...
