Weeks Flyin’ By

One of the perks of my shift is that it helps my weeks just fly by. I work five nights per week, but only three of those nights are really spent working. My Saturdays and Sundays are not just quiet, but dead. I typically spend them playing PSP or doodling or browsing TV Tropes. Totally […]

The Waggle Manifesto

Is there such a thing as “good waggle” in Wii games? My Wii collection might be a good place to start. It’s small-ish, only ten games, so it would only take a few moments to analyze. But it’s also representative, by which I mean I own games pretty much every Wii player will be familiar […]

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a dismal failure.

I don’t mean the game itself, you understand. The game is fantastic. I suggest you run out and buy it right away. If you don’t have a Wii, you should buy one of those too so you have something to play Super Mario Galaxy 2 on. Also, pick up the original Super Mario Galaxy while […]

Cleverbot vs. Cleverbot

Some dudes I know were posting funny conversations with Cleverbot, a silly AI that’s good for wasting time with but not much else.

I’m too meta for that. I decided to make Cleverbot talk to… itself. And with surprising results! Here’s the unedited conversation; the only thing I supplied was the very first “Hello”:

Cleverbot […]

File this one under “isn’t that common sense?”

Wasn’t this kind of the point of having triangular cheese in the first place? I guess I always assumed they were supposed to be doing things this way and were just lazy.

I would love to see the complaint letters Subway received that lead to this executive decision. I’ll bet my pension at least […]

Well, it’s Shrek glasses again.

They want me to come into the office at 2am today, which means sleeping in a few hours later, which means my whole schedule for tomorrow is going to be borked.

(Bork bork bork. Swedish chef. Heh heh.)

I felt like the whole premise of Shrek was stretched pretty thin after having seen the second […]

Three More Unrelated Things

Unrelated Thing #1: Mafia is up and running again. Different rules, different game… should be fun. At least now I’ll have something to fill the long nights at work with other than staring blankly at my cubicle wall and slowly going mad.

Unrelated Thing #2: Tonight we watched The Men Who Stare At Goats, a […]

Final Notes: 3D Dot Game Heroes

I forced myself through the endgame of 3D Dot Game Heroes and came out the other side with all my extremities more or less intact. The last few hours I spent with the game were the exact opposite of fun, and all thanks to the terrible boss fights. The final dungeon is essentially a string […]
