  • Video Games of 2012 [GO]

    Knock on wood, you guys, but I managed to get through 2012 without having all my video games stolen from my house while I was sleeping [EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s 2013 now, you dummy. You don’t need to knock on wood]. Should that even be an achievement? 2012 seems to be a shift in the status […]

  • Travis Touchdown – What I’ve Been Doing 25 June 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Last week felt super long! Thank god it’s all over. At least I enjoyed myself plenty. Week two of the swimming experiment continued as well, reminding me of how woefully out of shape I am. Glad to have seen Kai again too. It’s a bummer that she no longer has work/business in Baltimore. Movies Prometheus […]

  • “Did I fall asleep?” – What I’ve Been Doing 18 June 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    In a weekend full of grief over some terrible Marlins losses thanks to anemic offenses I finally got around to finishing Dollhouse… Movies Indie Game: The Movie – Steam’s first movie! I didn’t kickstart it, but I was more than happy to support it post-release. It’s not super informative if you don’t already know a […]

  • The Wrath of the Lamb! – What I’ve Been Doing 11 June 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    That Wrath of the Lamb DLC is awesome stuff. It’s still a super challenging game to get through, but I’m absolutely enjoying it. I almost want to play it more than Diablo 3. Speaking of which, I’m getting close to 60…Just three more levels. Movies Haywire – Our aborted attempt to watch this movie probably […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 4 June 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Just can’t get away from moving. Finished moving Tiffany and then I had to move. All this rapid-fire moving has me completely sick of it. I’m considering burning all my stuff the next time I have to move… Movies Another week with none. I’ve got a Netflix disc just waiting too… TV Mad Men – […]

  • Four Hardcore Unarmed Barbarians vs. The Skeleton King [GO/ER]

    I know what you’re thinking, “Dan, will you post something completely idiotic and niche on your blog today?” Yes, dear readers, I will.

  • On Player Progression in Diablo III [GO]

    Like most games, Diablo III has a tightly constructed difficulty curve intended to teach the player and usher them from apprentice to master player. It does this the way most RPGs do, by gradually introducing abilities and gradually increasing complexity. New skills are gained slowly, runes are introduced slowly, and equipment variance and affixes are […]

  • Diablo Returns! – What I’ve Been Doing 28 May 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Though I did not play nearly as much as Min, much of my week was consumed with playing the Tuesday release of Diablo III. I mean, we’re talking I didn’t even watch the TV shows I like kind of dedication. Movies The Avengers – My dad was in town so I thought it would be […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 14 May 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Want people to get a taste of your game? Have a free weekend. I put in 11 hours and I probably would have bought the game if it wasn’t for Diablo 3 dropping tomorrow. Sorry, Tropico 4. Maybe next Steam sale. Movies Election – The prototype that all kinds of high school shows like Popular […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 7 May 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Readership assemble! Min and I made the great sacrifice of seeing The Avengers for you. Our verdict? It’s excellent. Go see it, y’all. Seriously. Movies The Avengers – It does precisely what I thought was impossible by focusing on each individual character for a bit and giving them all arcs. Granted, most of the groundwork […]
