Five down, one to go.

Sorry kids, I don’t have the wherewithal to do a for-real post today. (Not to do extreme laziness, I swear: I’m busy prepping my new Let’s Play that’s launching tomorrow!) If you’re dying for something cool to read, though, the citizen faction is about to win this game of Mafia I’m playing. (Or, if you […]

I love midgets.

My attention today was drawn to some information about Final Fantasy XIV’s player races.

(Apologies if you can’t decipher moon runes. I can’t either, but you don’t need them to check out the pictures.)

(Apologies again for an FF-themed post during a time when I will be putting up a huge guaranteed FF-themed post every […]

Cave Story more like LAME Story amirite?

Let me preface this post by saying: I love Cave Story. Forget all this talk about what a “great indie game” it is; it is a fantastic game period. It occupies a spot in the upper echelons of sidescrollers along with classics like Super Mario World, new favorites like Mega Man 9… heck, I’ll even […]

13 Weeks of Final Fantasy: Personal Experiences

Week One: Personal Experiences

SPOILER ALERT!! This feature by its very nature contains spoilers for every Final Fantasy game. If you don’t want your cherry popped, make sure to skip the bits about games you haven’t played yet.

For the next thirteen weeks, I’ll be using my Sunday updates to take an in-depth look at […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week six

A friend of mine who has not watched Survivor since All-Stars has gotten back into it this season. He asked me this, of Russell: “So is this guy all talk? Or is he really that good?” I responded, no, he really is that good.

But I’ve had my doubts. I’ve been picking him every […]

Review: Every Miyazaki Movie I Own

I own every Miyazaki film I have seen, and I’ve only seen the ones I have because I own them. Feel free to clutter up the comments with statements of disbelief that I don’t own/haven’t seen My Neighbor Totoro or Porco Rosso.

Howl’s Moving Castle This is the story about a young girl being cursed […]

Acronym Survey

I don’t often have good work stories to tell, but one emerged last night that’s worth sharing.

About 3am I received a call from a gentleman who I believe was in Alaska. He came in on a toll-free line set aside for one of our services in Texas which has, to my knowledge, been discontinued. […]

The Lincoln Hypocrisy

Having just finished and thoroughly enjoyed Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, it occurs to me that I’ve been a tad hypocritical. It was a mere month ago where I railed against the use of our most revered presidents in cheesy President’s Day advertising, after all. Why is it okay for Abe to hunt vampires and not […]

Vampires are awesome. (Sometimes.)

I blogged a few days ago about how, sometimes, the mere premise of a book or movie or game can strike me as so irresistible that I care less about the actual quality of the product. I think this sentiment applies doubly to anything with vampires in it.

As I see it there are essentially […]

The Three Thirds of Final Fantasy XIII

So I finished up Final Fantasy XIII the other night. By and large I enjoyed the game a great deal, but I was surprised by how clearly the game is divided up into discrete sections. My thoughts on each section are fairly different, so that’s how I’ll present them.

The First Third – FF10, but […]
