I Bring Nothing to the Table

Month: January 2010

  • Caps [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    Just got home from the Capitals vs. Red Wings game down at the Verizon Center. It was my first time down there, so here are some impressions: -I really hate DC’s Chinatown. It’s the most Americanized Chinatown I’ve ever seen and it’s an absolutely terrible venue for ice hockey/basketball. There’s just no character to it. […]

  • Of The Blue Colour of the Sky and Contra [Feedback]

    Should be a musical week here at IBNttT and I think I’m gonna start it off with my impressions on OK Go and Vampire Weekend’s new offerings, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky and Contra, respectively. OK Go – This Too Shall Pass from OK Go on Vimeo. It’s been ~5 years since OK […]

  • Bonus ER: The History of Keyboard Cat [Embedded Reporter]

  • Know Your Meme and Lazy Town + Lil’ Jon [Embedded Reporter]

    Ok, one of these is fairly normal and the other is completely random and…strange. I think you’ll be able to figure out which is which. This first one is (lyrically) NSFW. Don’t blast it anywhere that language is an issue. See more of the internets best videos at CollegeHumors Web Celeb Hall of Fame.

  • Slacked Off [Game Overview]

    I slacked off hardcore this week, so I don’t really have any real news stories prepared for you this week, but I did have tons of fun last night playing Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. I’ve finally resolved to finish the game’s final case after a hiatus that lasted nearly a year. A new game has […]

  • (Pink) Masks [Game Overview]

    While running errands the other day I saw a girl wearing a blue pair of sweatpants that had the word “Pink” in large white print on the back. It got me thinking about the discrepancies between who we are and who we tell people we are. I can honestly say that I’ve never met a […]

  • The Truth At Last [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    To absolutely nobody’s surprise, Mark McGwire admitted on Monday that he used steroids back when he played in the ’90s. Regular readers of this blog already know how I feel about the Steroid Era in baseball, so I won’t bore you with my indignation and anger, but it’s a real shame that we’re seeing yet […]

  • Mother 3 Review [Big N]

    Ruminations on video games as an art form – this could very well become a Mother 3 review. There will be spoilers here. Seriously, don’t read it if you want to play Mother 3 and not have the plot spoiled. There’s a trite comparison that floats around the internet almost every month that always gets […]

  • Seasons 1-5 of Lost in 8:15 [Embedded Reporter]

    If you fully intend to catch up on Lost, do not watch this video! It has spoilers to catch you up to the events so far. So good.

  • Mecha-Zangief?! [Game Overview]

    With the release of Super Street Fighter IV rapidly approaching and the convenient timing of CES, Capcom has started its marketing blitz in earnest these past few days. The most recent trailer highlights the new features in the game, including new costumes, rival battles, and, most excitingly, new Ultra Combos. Video Games | Super Street […]
