Let’s Play FF2: Chapter 5: The Village of Magic

Here’s a link to the thing! You’ll have to scroll down a ways, past Homestar Runner and Mickey Mouse.

Here’s a taste of the wonderment you are about to receive:

Survivor: Redemption Island (week two)

The episode opens with Francesca rooting through her supplies on Redemption Island. She talks big about how she’s glad she’s all alone instead of back with her tribe, and how she’s going to use the time to relax, blah blah blah… but she’s not fooling anyone. Nobody wants to go to Redemption Island, ever, […]

Time to Dance (with a grain of salt)

If George R. R. Martin’s publisher is to be believed, A Dance With Dragons will finally be released on July 12. Suffice it to say, I’ll be skeptical right up until I’m holding the book in my very own moist, jittering hands.

This raises an interesting question about the HBO series, though: if it takes […]

These spammers are getting harder to please.

I went ahead and turned comment moderation off when I realized that I hadn’t had to manually trash a spam comment for at least a couple months. Apparently my spam-detection plug-in is pretty savvy! That got me to thinking, though, about whether there were any “false positives” sitting around in the ol’ spam folder. I […]

Three Happenstances That Are Unrelated (So Far As I Know)

#1: My Xbox is broken! Aaahhh!! Looks like it’s an E47 error, which means I can fix it by opening up the box and squirting thermal paste all over the place. Apparently some people have fixed this particular error by letting their Xbox run while wrapped up in a blanket, but that sounds like a […]

Another Frickin’ Lost Update

This post contains Lost spoilers, etc.

I am pretty bummed that Eko went and for-real died. He was too interesting a character to lose so quickly after his introduction. (Yes, I’m prepared to call one season’s worth of appearances “quickly”, in a series with six seasons.)

Man, I really hope they replace the bad-ass Nigerian […]

I dare you, Tom.

I’ve been reading Gunnerkrigg Court for several years now. Unless caught in an unseemly mood, I will usually answer with confidence that it’s my favorite comic. It has, however, over several plodding story arcs, grown a bit stale. Don’t get me wrong, I feel like I could follow these characters forever, even if the plot […]

Lost, Season Three

With the holidays behind us, we’ve finally picked up our long journey through Lost. I’m currently a few episodes into season three.

I think I’m still following the major plotlines, but new threads and characters are being introduced at dizzying speeds. I’m not saying I want things to go back to dragging the way they […]

Lost Season Two

Having just polished up season two of Lost, I am confident that I have not even the slightest clue what is going on. There is no way I would have been able to watch this show during its heyday and retained my sanity. I would have gone balls-eatingly insane from the wait between seasons.

My […]

Hay I Still Watch The Tee-Vee

Peanut and I have about two hours in common every week where we can buckle in and watch some TV together. This suits us fine because our tastes in television overlap in an extremely tiny area that essentially includes Survivor, Dexter, and not much else.

And you guys already know what I think about this […]
