A Game Night of Thrones

Friday night is game night. Tonight’s game is A Game of Thrones, the RPG based on those books I like that will never get finished. Last time I played in this game I kept a log of the group’s adventures on my LiveJournal… but I gave that up when I lost interest or got distracted […]

Man, it’s a good thing I’m hitting that bonus…

On top of the $40 for Super Street Fighter IV, I dropped $50 on re-upping my Xbox Live subscription and another $35 on a fightpad with T. Hawk on it. Which amuses me, because, like, T. Hawk? Really? I mean, I like T. Hawk, but I thought I was the only one.

Back when Street […]

The Production Game

At work I have to keep track of everything I do in a spreadsheet, which I turn over to my boss at the end of the night. This is called my Production Sheet and is essentially a record of every valuable service I provide my employer over the course of a shift.

Anyone who needs […]

Super Street Fighter IV (or, “

I spent a couple hours with Super Street Fighter IV this evening. I’ve never (ever) been good at fighting games, as is evidenced by the fact that I can’t perform a combo of any kind to save my life. I don’t know if I lack the hand-eye coordination, or the twitch reflexes, or what. If […]

So I finally watched Avatar…

The first thing to understand about this movie, is that it is the longest movie ever made. I’m pretty sure this film is twice as long as every movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life combined. While watching this movie I had time to grow a big white old man beard.

The other thing […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week ten

In this episode: Russell makes a mistake, and Rupert talks strategy. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: Bizarro Survivor.

Let’s zip through the early stuff. We are merged, now. The new tribe is called “Yin Yang”. Rupert wanted to call the tribe “The Winners”, apparently forgetting that seven out of ten members haven’t won the […]

Three Wishes

The old cliché goes, you find a magic lamp, you get three wishes. Everyone has the same first two wishes: money and health. Boring. It’s that third wish that really defines a person.

Mine is: I want exclusive rights to Batman. Forever.

I don’t need to make any money from licensing fees or anything. I […]

Erf Day

Earth Day is not a real holiday, though I lack the energy to rant and rave about that right now. Long story short: I’m not an environmentalist, and in fact environmentalists tend to completely exasperate me. This is a group of who will collect recyclables one day, then sign a petition to prevent a nuclear […]

How horrible!

They killed me in Mafia, guys! SAD FACE.

Well okay it turns out I was a bad guy. But still.

Speaking of horrible, I watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog for the fiftieth or so time last night. I’d say it’s a great movie, but… is it a movie? It’s kind of too short to be […]
