What I Read in July

Having a bookstore available at my fingertips 100% of the time isn’t going to do my wallet any favors, but it has done wonders for my reading. I’ve been averaging three or four new books per year for a long time now, a number I was able to clear in a single month thanks to […]

Adventure!

There were a few video games before this one, but they weren’t worth playing:

Not sure why I suddenly got the hankerin’ to play Adventure, but I’m pleased I did.

Contest

I’m pretty good with keeping up on my Rock Band DLC, and buying the new songs I want as they come out. Since I already own all the DLC I want (out of what’s currently available) I can’t imagine what I’d do with 100 free songs. As a result, the only possibly reason I […]

Good Licensed Games

One of the mantras I keep repeating in my current Willow LP is that it’s one of the only really good licensed games that have been produced. That’s actually a bit of an exaggeration, I suppose; there have been lots of games based on licensed properties that I’ve enjoyed. Furthermore, it seems like the further […]

Vlog?

I quit vlogging a long time ago for pretty stupid reasons. The old flip camera I used to use had problems with constantly corrupting the video it shot, and the new one I bought to replace it seemed exhausting to learn to use properly. The vlogs were a fun experiment, but they were consistently less […]

Define “optimism”

My Dad had an Amiga when I was a kid, and I was feeling a little nostalgic for it today, so I went trolling around some emulator forums and scrounged up some of the old good games. This was back in the age of shareware, and I admit I chuckled a bit when I came […]

Willow? Willow!

This game is awesome. I don’t care what nobody says.

One video per day for nine or so days, and bob’s your uncle. I don’t know what that means.

My Neighbor Totoro

Often touted as Miyazaki’s best film, My Neighbor Totoro has been defined as a large hole in my movie-watching experience for far too long. More people have recommended this movie to me than have recommended an ER visit for a punctured lung. I think one guy may have actually suggested Totoro could deal with the […]

Let’s play Mega Man Powered Up — Complete

This was a fun series! It’s ten minutes shy of three hours, and contains four videos over twenty minutes in length. It has very roughly equal parts “Wow, Brick is good at this!” and “Wow, Brick is a gibbering monkey-man who is probably holding the controller upside-down!” Both of these things seem to entertain people, […]

Considerations re: Blood Pressure

Complaining about one’s job is quite literally the lowest form of blogging there is, especially when you do the same job as millions of other people. It was at least novel back when I was the Peemeister, because not everyone gets to play with pee for a living, and because drug testing is one of […]
