I Unwisely Chose to Go Shopping Today Instead of Sleep

And now I’m exhausted, and have to work in an hour.

Also I bought a pretzel dog. It’s been an all-around Bad Decision kind of day.

Three Interesting (to me) but Unrelated Things

Unrelated Thing the First: Castlevania HD patch! Holy crap! I haven’t had a chance to hop on and try things out yet, but apparently matchmaking is easier and lots of characters are more powerful. Lots of characters have had their subweapon cost reduced and mana regen rate increased, which means less downtime and more fun. […]

Survivor: Nicaragua Finale

I didn’t watch it.

And there’s an excellent chance I won’t.

I’m still like four episodes behind, and my will to try and watch it is completely sapped. Each and every time I think, “Hmm, I’ll spend 45 minutes watching Survivor!” my brain immediately replies, “Are you MAD!? You could spend that 45 minutes doing […]

Back to Minecraft

Yep, I’m addicted again. I’m also besieged nightly by zombies:

Once I have something worth showing, it’s my intention to do a video (or series of videos) exploring my as-yet-nameless stone keep and the surrounding lands.

So far I’ve done most of my work on Peaceful difficulty. Sorry, I’m a carebear. I just didn’t […]

Jocelyn Beauregard, Private Eye (part three)

Having completed NaNoWriMo ’10, I’m going to share one section of my story here every Friday until you’ve read the whole thing. Hooray for easy update days! Enjoy.

The front windows of Ted Holdren’s office bore two signs. The first was his name and profession, in giant white typeface: “Theodore Holdren, Private Detective”. It was […]

One thing I love about Castlevania HD players.

Having plugged away at Castlevania: Harmony of Despair for a few nights without anything much to show for my efforts, I was going to type a snarky lits of observations I made about players and the stupid or annoying things they did. I still might, if my bad luck and frustration in pursuit of items […]

Mega Man Intuition

“Which is the better game: Mega Man 2 or Mega Man 3?”

This debate always causes me to froth at the corners of my mouth. It’s not the debate itself that bothers me; usually participants are willing to concede that they’re both magical and that choosing one says more about one’s personal taste than the […]

It’s official: FF14 sucks.

Even their official web site says so.

So it seems like Square-Enix is committed to fixing their broken-ass game, even to the point of shoving the bulk of the dev team into a bottomless pit and putting all new people on it. Which raises the rather amusing question of what happens six months from now […]

I’m drawing things!

The context will be made clear in a day or two, hopefully.

This is how Edgar eats peanut butter.

Edgar loves peanut butter, but I can never seem to resist the temptation to just smear it all over his nose, so he won’t accept it from me any more. Now I have to fill a spoon and wedge it into the handle on the bottom of our futon. Only once I’m safely out of […]
