The Science of BONK: A Methodology for Quantifying the Violence in River City Ransom

Today I put the finishing touches on River City Ransom, which Dan (KefkaFloyd) and I played back in December. Please to be enjoying the playlist:

Throughout the LP I kept a running tally of how we were dispatching each dude. What sorts of violence were Dan and I most drawn to? The people had […]

How to Fix the Xbox 360’s E74 Error

Please be advised there is now a part two to this post. After about a month, his fix failed and I had to go back in for a tune-up. You can read about that by clicking here: Return of the E74. Don’t worry; if you follow these instructions you aren’t doing anything wrong and you […]

Vlog 028: Celebrating Thanksgiving with bad movies!

The future… is now.

Peanut snapped off this shot of me interacting with a vending machine from the future by poking it in its Digital Beverage-Selection Interface, an action which seems to be causing it considerable distress. While I’m certain too much provocation will cause the machine to gain sentience and carve a swath of destruction through the mall […]

So not the drama.

I don’t know what terrible thing I did to Peanut to make her want to leave me for the next ten days, but apparently I’m on my own. Here’s hoping she doesn’t return to find me a starving, gibbering mess.

This post got eaten.

I had a longer post here, but the server ate it. I’ll re-type it later this week, but here’s a short-ish one in its place.

I read today that President Obama wants to direct 3% of the US’s GDP — $420 billion — towards scientific advancement. This is the kind of announcement that makes me […]

Vlog #003: Nadya Vessey and Nikola Tesla

Week three! The computer I edit these on crashed, but the crash was apparently only temporary. Also I found an option on the camera that fixes the lighting problem… somewhat! Now I just have to fix the sound problems and I’ll be all set.

Apparently jetpacks are real and nobody told me.

And they’ve been around forever. Why am I always the last to learn about these things?

So there are people who are willing to lash five gallons of jet fuel to their backs and zip around at 80+ mph, and we have the technology to make it happen. Why has nobody invented rocketpack basketball yet? […]
