On Lewd Integers in the Decimal System

So I’m about to hit level 69 in World of Warcraft.
It’s a far more momentous occasion in my mind than 70, as you can’t yell “SIXTY-NINE, DUDES!” when you hit 70. In fact, I might be somewhat sad to leave that hallowed ground. In any case, I’m going to need to queue up [...]

Don’t you just love…

…that Windows Vista doesn’t simply “tell” you when it can’t read a disc. No, that would be far too benign. Instead, like the cancer that it is, it must flail and crash and die until you realize there’s a smudge on the data surface…
Oh and I got a new computer. It appears [...]

Bioshock = High Art.

I figure I should just come out and say it instead of dicking around with doublespeak. Bioshock is art.
After beating the game, for the first time ever I feel as if the title “Game” is a sleight against it. It is an experience, one that could easily be revelatory. For me, it [...]

LAFS can go die in a fire.

So I’m home again.
Taking classes at the local community college while LAFS figures out just how badly they fucked me over.
Oh, and I’m 20 now. That’s about half as old as Star Wars. Heavy shit, man.
(edit: My good friend Travis pointed out to me that I am in fact two-thirds as old [...]

The 15 Games I Couldn’t Live Without

(Response to Milky’s blog Here)
In no particular order…
1. Deus Ex – PC. Remains the most mind-blowing game I’ve ever played. I’ve beaten the entire game a good seven times, by now.
2. Starcraft/Brood War – PC. Self-explanatory. Second game I ever played. Needless to say, it was all downhill from there.
3. [...]

Bollshit.

So Fumbles McStupid with the camera showed off his newest cinematic abortion.
Yeah, I’m talkin’ bout Uwe Boll.
I genuinely hate this guy. I hate him based on hearsay and bias, no doubt, but I hate him. He doesn’t make bad movies. He doesn’t make bad video game movies. In fact, he doesn’t [...]

What I’m going to miss

I’ve lived in Washington D.C. all my life. For the first time in twenty years (my birthday is next friday) I will be not just removed from that, but removed from the entire east coast.
I’ve often said that living here makes you insane by default. I think there’s some sort of brain-ray generator [...]

egads

You would think, that in this magical fairytale world we live in, that some schmuck would invent a tire that is immune to puncture.
Hell, James Bond had that “push a button on your cell phone and make the tires fixed” thing. I want that. More so, I want an invincible tire. I [...]

not every moment rules

So I was watching Clerks II again, today. I’ve long maintained that it is Kevin Smith’s best film. I was listening to the commentary, because those cats get pretty rowdy and it’s often as entertaining as the film itself, especially for a dork like me who finds stuff like camera angles intriguing.
Scott Mosier, [...]
