I Bring Nothing to the Table

Month: October 2011

  • Social Gaming (As It Stands) is a BANE ON HUMANITY [GO/YCQMOT]

    To the abovementioned small man and to others like him, to all the craftsmen of these mommy’s-credit-card-number-snatching games like Tap Zoo and Tap Pet Shop and Top Girl and what-have-you, I offer this lesson from the annals of economics: “Monetize” is a fucking stupid word. The idea of a business is to make money. “To […]

  • Arkham City First Impressions [GO]

    Arkham City is out! I played it for a few hours last night. Here are some initial thoughts: – Have a backup game on another console ready. Play that until the free (with non-used purchase) Catwoman DLC finishes downloading (mine was Gears of War 3). I guess Rocksteady Studios was thinking, “If the Catwoman DLC […]

  • Awesome Orchestrated Mega Man 2 Theme [ER/GO/F]

    I love it!

  • Arkham City Video Review [GO/ER]

    This comes out tomorrow! It also feels like it’s been forever since the last GB video review. Good to see them coming back.

  • Uncharted 3 Launch Trailer [GO/ER]

    Less than a month left! Gonna be so great.

  • What I’ve Been Doing 17 Oct 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Movies Bran Nue Dae – Disappointingly mediocre. I was expecting something interesting from a musical about aboriginal life in Australia, but it just wasn’t there. Uneven pacing, bland characters, and, worst of all, completely forgettable music. That’s the one thing you have to do right in a musical! TV How I Met Your Mother – […]

  • Uncharted 3 Gameplay [GO/ER]

    The guy driving in this gameplay video is astoundingly good at Uncharted 3 combat. Wow, he’s just a rock star. I wonder what difficulty level that is (I bet easy/casual). Man, I can’t wait for 1 November.

  • What I’ve Been Doing 10 October 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Movies Everything Must Go – Rebecca Hall is superb. I first saw her in The Prestige and I instantly fell in love with her acting. She’s a good understated and expressive actor. Will Ferrell in a drama is pretty neat too. He really shows a lot of range on this and I’d like to see […]

  • The Binding of Isaac [GO]

    Despite my adult-onset atheism, I’m actually glad that I grew up with a religious background, but not for the reasons you might think. See, I’m a sucker for mythology and literature and I think that I would notice fewer allusions to the dominant religion of the Western world if I didn’t have that religious education. […]

  • October Movie Preview [FB/ER]

    Wow, there is really nothing interesting coming out in October. That’s depressing. At least Matt Rorie and Ryan Davis are entertaining in showing us how October is going to be a cinema vacuum. EDIT: Ides of March is perhaps the only movie of the bunch that I’d see…I think. Who knows what the girlfriend will […]
