I Bring Nothing to the Table

Month: April 2008

  • Grand Slam: The Power of Christ Compels Wins

    Not to take too much away from today’s iPod Touch post, but who else thinks that the Papal service in Nationals Park is, to some degree, an effort to bless the team out of it’s losing streak (outside of their opening season 3-game win streak and another Braves win)?

  • Mr. Digital: iPod Touch

    So my iPod Video decided that my right ear was incidental, so it stopped transmitting sound to my right headphone, unless I applied pressure is some sort of arcane, randomly determined direction at all times. Lucky for me, since I got it pre-owned off of eBay, I put a SquareTrade warranty on it, so they […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: Softball, Marlins (Again), Surprising Standings

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Intramural Softball I thought it was spring. This past Sunday in Ithaca we had some snow (apparently) […]

  • Game Overview: Shin Megami Tensei

    The other day when I was talking about Persona 3, I got a comment about the SMT series being a Western-based RPG instead of a JRPG. To start off with, the original game for the Famicom was based on a Japanese book about using the digital world to summon demons. From this point forward, no […]

  • Embedded Reporter: Snake Eater

    Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. If you’ve been reading this site since its inception, it’s no surprise that I’m on a bit of a Metal Gear kick at the moment. Back before Super Smash Bros. Brawl hit the shelves, IGN posted a video feature showing strategies for […]

  • Idiot Box: Lost

    After three and a half years of refusing to succumb to the pressure, I finally caved and started watching Lost last month thanks to my Blockbuster.com membership. I’ve burned through the first two seasons and 1/4 of the third season. Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, Lost is about a group of […]

  • Sony: Metal Gear Solid

    The Story Last night I finally got around to completing the Japanese stealth tactical action game: Metal Gear Solid. You play as Solid Snake, a veteran of (at least) two prior missions completed for the U.S. Government as a part of the secret, black-ops organization FOXHOUND. You’re sent to Shadow Moses Island to save some […]

  • Game Overview: MLB Power Pros 2?, Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3: FES, Metal Gear Solid

    Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. About two weeks ago baseball season began and I dusted off my copy of MLB Power Pros to enjoy what was probably my favorite Nintendo release of last year. For those of you who don’t […]

  • Idiot Box: Return of the Sitcoms

    This Thursday marks the return of all four of NBC’s sitcoms to the Thursday night lineup (My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, The Office, and Scrubs), with all but Scrubs showing a new episode. I’m most excited for the return of The Office, one of the earliest victims of the Writer’s Strike. They started off […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: Marlins, Red Sox, Tigers, and Intramural Softball

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. So the Marlins are off to a decent start this season, leading the NL East at the […]
