I’m still with Coco, but…

…Coco apparently isn’t with me. The closest his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour is getting to me is Atlanta, GA, which is to say, a seven or eight hour one-way drive.

He’s going to be in DC about ten days before I will. Just missed ya, Co-NAN.

It does strike me as […]

FF13 is the game FF10 wanted to be, but couldn’t.

I’m still only about seven hours in, but my first impression of pretty much every aspect of FF13 is “I remember this from FF10… only it sucked.”

First: the high energy intro. FF10’s intro involved Tidus playing blitzball to this weird heavy metal, which was fine, but didn’t really get me into the game, per […]

Video Game Packaging Review: Final Fantasy XIII

So I was expecting today’s blog post to pretty much just be “I AM PLAYING FF13 LEAVE ME ALONE” in giant bold letters… but then the PS3 was like “lol u need to update dudez” so I’m kind of just sitting here fondling the game box. So I guess I’ll review that.

Cover Art On […]

Bottles Stretched Around the World

(Disclaimer: I am bad at maths. If these calculations are faulty please feel free to leave me a comment letting me know what a dummy I am.)

I caught an ad for Brita water filters recently which said you should buy a Brita filter because it will reduce the number of empty bottles you will […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week four

Fun episode! Some interesting shifting took place on each of the two tribes, causing me to rethink the players left in the game and what they’re likely to do. Then Probst yelled at Rupert for saying something stupid, which I enjoyed merrily.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Here’s how the episode started:

Coach collapsed […]

The Super-translator.

Didn’t get a chance to catch Survivor on Thursday, so it’s Peemeister today and Survivor tomorrow. Enjoy!

From 2005 to 2008 I maintained a blog about my experiences working in the drug test industry. Every Sunday I revive one of those experiences here. The following was originally posted May 27, 2008.

The Super-translator. I […]

So Mega Man 10 is pretty much the hardest game ever…

…and I don’t know how I feel about that. It’s difficult to judge, really, but I’m fairly certain MM10 is much more difficult than MM9 was. I couldn’t even make it to the boss doors in half of the stages. In some cases the mid-point boss was tougher than the robot master was. I’m sure […]

Inconsistencies in Time Travel

One of the primary issues people have with time travel stories is inconsistent application of the rules. This is why “old” Doc Brown doesn’t remember meeting Marty McFly in 1955, but does know to protect himself from terrorist gunfire. Or how everyone “remembers” the Black Omen having always been dangling there in mid-air, while the […]

How’s this for an awesome life?

Mega Man 10 on Wii, big bottle of Pepsi and a bag of cheeseburger flavored Doritos. Does life get more gluttonous or self-indulgent than this? I submit that it does not, sir.

Mega Man 10 is, of course, amazing so far. I’ve only seen three levels and I’m already in love. In fact, I want […]

Indie Game Review: VVVVVV

The title is dumb. It’s unpronouncable. It’s not unrecognizable, though; ten years from now you’ll be able to talk about “veevuhveeveevuhvee” or “that game with all the Vs in it” and people will be able to understand you. (Providing they’ve played the game of course.) I’ve seen the idea bandied about that a string of […]
