Shadow Complex

Let’s get one thing straight: Shadow Complex is not Super Metroid. Pretty much the entire internet is buzzing about how it is Super Metroid. The developers have bragged about how much they cribbed from Super Metroid. There was probably some stirring in Nintendo’s legal team. But they needn’t worry; Shadow Complex is not Super Metroid.

The nature of plot twists.

So I’m super-enjoying Bioshock. I like how the game has an easy mode that is actually easy, as in “any reasonable person could play this game and not die.” Last time I played a shooter on easy was Halo 3, where easy meant “if you’ve already mastered Halos 1 & 2, you might find this […]

Vlog called on account of rain!

Not entirely rain, of course. If I’d been non-lazy and shot it this morning instead of sleeping in I’d have been fine. But it’s been thundering most of the afternoon so… yeah, I’ll do it tomorrow.

The etymology of “belf”.

Challenge dungeons!

After the main plot in one of the chapters of Final Fantasy 4: The After Years you have the option of running that character’s challenge dungeon. At the end of the challenge dungeon sits a treasure box which sometimes contains a piece of high-end equipment. You’re supposed to run the dungeon over and over again […]

Let’s learn the law!

Hey kids! Let’s learn the law with the help of the Arizona Foundation for Legal Services and Education!

White children grow up to be important white men pointing at important charts; black children grow up to be incarcerated and grow long, pointy beards.

All black children are armed at all times. It’s okay […]

Hizzacked!

You’re probably not reading this, because a message from Google is telling everyone that my website is full of dangerous and insidious malware, but if you were brave enough to click past that and get to this update… you’re probably disappointed at the lack of any real update.
