I’ve had a lot of weird jobs, but a terrible memory, so it’s tough sometimes to look back on my experiences and take amusing stories from them. But I decided to have a bowl of ice cream for breakfast today, and we had a banana sitting there so I was like, “You know what? Banana [...]

In front of me, I’m installing the FF14 beta. And to my right, I’m installing all the important stuff onto Peanut’s new laptop. For some reason this dual process is really exhausting.
(Yes, Peanut already had a laptop. But it was too heavy, and not purple. Why do you ask?)

When I was a kid I owned a lot of video game soundtracks. I mean, I suppose I still do, but the point is that back in middle and high school I listened to them pretty much exclusively. We had a five-disc CD changer in the living room, and that’s where the computer was, so [...]

I try not to get into arguments with people in the office. This is generally easy to accomplish seeing as how the place is mostly empty when I’m here, but I do have some slight crossover with second shift, and once in a great while this leads to an unpleasant encounter.
This particular encounter dealt with [...]

1) We spent several hours last night playing Punch Out!! for Nintendo Wii. This game is so, so fun but also so, so hard. It reminded me of when I was a kid. I used to have access to a wide variety of NES games, and there was one class of games which, while fun, I [...]
