Tales From the Camera Phone II

I’ve been driving past this sign for years. There’s so much wrong with it it’s hard to even know where to start:

But hey, at least that gorilla seems excited!

You fail ice cream forever.

Sorry, I had too much LP work to do to be able to write a real post for today. You’ll be delighted to know, though, that in the course of my work I got mad at ice cream.

You’d think a bowl of delicious vanilla ice cream would be just the thing to take one’s […]

Let’s Play Super RMN Bros.

Ugh. It’s finally over.

This LP was a nightmare. Borderline-unplayable game, buggy and laggy game engine, complete ignorance of pretty much every rule in the Super Mario playbook… not to mention the glaring faults on my end; shitty framerate, dropped music, endless complaining. On top of that, the series is too long. Still two […]

La Choy Chicken Chow Mein

Peanut and I both love to cook, but we also both love to eat, and sometimes we want to do the latter without going to all the trouble of the former. I’m sure we’d spend an hour or more preparing a fresh, lovely supper every night if we could, but since we work full-time jobs […]

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift… EXPLAINED!

I have enough problems throwing a dragon punch in Street Fighter, let alone deciphering the insane labyrinth of meters, counters and symbols in a modern fighting game like BlazBlue: Continuum Shift. So as a public service I offer this dissection of a BlazBlue screenshot as a resource for those of you having trouble following the […]

M5 and RB3

Our next Mafia game will be starting soon. This one is Planescape-themed, which just gives me like this gigantic boner.

Since each new Mafia game adds a few new pages to our strategic lexicon, it’s become important to devise a shorthand to refer to previous games. If we want to talk about something that happened […]

Science Proves It: George R. R. Martin is a furry.

For two reasons, actually. Reason one: the combination of his awesome girth plus his face-devouring beard sort of make him half-bear right out of the gate.

The second reason is the culmination of a long and twisty — but scientifically stable — train of logic.

I recently stumbled across a LiveJournal community called *Artists BEWARE!*, […]

Max McGee is a plagiarist and a fool.

He’s a plagiarist because he stole ideas and storylines directly from a popular fantasy series for use in his new RPGMaker game. He’s a fool because he either thought nobody would notice, or that nobody would call him on it.

I want to preface this post by saying that homages, references, and subtle winks are […]

This post could have been a tweet, if I still cared about Twitter.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if the Westboro Baptist Church protested the Church of Scientology?

Movie Review: Changeling

I realize most of my “reviews” really aren’t. Oh well!

I finally got around to watching this last night. I thought it was perfectly fine flick, excellent both as a period piece (and I eat up pretty much everything from this particular time period) and as a well-told story. The opening credits describe the movie […]
