Worldly Wisdom (courtesy of Dove Promises)

Haven’t watched me no Survivor yet this week, so I’ll do this post today and that post Mon/Tuesday-ish.

I lucked into a delicious bag of Dove Promises recently, which are bite-sized peanut butter-filled chocolates. About half way through the bag I noticed they had bite-sized bits of Oprah-style wisdom printed on the inside of their […]

The First Twenty Minutes of Assassin’s Creed II

The first thing that happens when you fire up Assassin’s Creed II is a boring voice-over summary of everything that happened in Assassin’s Creed I. I should have skipped this, because I don’t care about what happened in AC1, and I never intend to play it anyway. Hopefully this whole mess was skippable.

Now, I […]

A Great(?) Kindergarten Story

This isn’t the “amazing post I didn’t have time to write” I promised yesterday. I was half asleep when I wrote that, and when I remembered what that post was, my brain reminded me it was stupid.

Instead, here’s something that happened to me in kindergarten. I have no idea why this memory suddenly decided […]

Swing and a miss!

I thought of something weird and possibly entertaining to update with today, but that was five minutes ago, and now I don’t have enough time to actually write it up before I leave for work. So this paragraph is all you get! Haha, suckers!

…okay, fine. Here’s a great video of a bunch of teddy […]

How to make Mega Man 10 not suck.

Okay, that’s unfair. Mega Man 10 doesn’t suck. It’s a catchy title though, isn’t it?

Anyway, it’s easy: play as Bass. All those little annoying things I hated about my first playthrough suddenly made sense when I started playing as Bass:

Stage sub-bosses that should be dodge-and-return-fire affairs… well, are now. Never bang your head […]

Some map I doodled at work last night.

No idea what I’d use this for, if anything. I present it here without commentary to see if anyone else can make sense of it at all.

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week seven

I didn’t remember Courtney or Candice from their previous seasons. A few weeks ago I decided Candice was a crappy player, and this week I’ve made that determination about Courtney as well. Anyone who could watch Russell’s brilliant play at the previous tribal council and come away from it thinking he has a boyish crush […]

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mob

Our parallel Mafia games are winding down now; both games should be wrapped up by this weekend at the latest.

What happens in this game, is that there are two factions: Citizens and Mafia. The Citizens are trying to kill the Mafia, but do not know who they are. The Mafia are trying to kill […]

Moar LP

So it looks like people thought my new FF1 LP was an elaborate April Fool’s prank. Which… might make sense, if it’s possible to play an April Fool’s prank on yourself.

Anyway, forget me playing FF1 again because it’s apparently the only game I ever play: there are two other great LPs starting up at […]
