2011 in Video Games [GO]
2011 was an odd year in games for me. It started out like any other, filled with joy and happiness, and then it was all wrenched away halfway through, thanks to that burglary, until I was able to start replenishing my stores and getting the ball rolling again for the second half. This list, unlike […]

What I’ve Been Doing 5 Dec 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
It’s my brother’s birthday today so let’s celebrate by telling you everything I’ve been up to this past week. I didn’t say it would be a good celebration, guys. Movies No movies again! I want to get The Muppets in soon. Maybe when I go home for Christmas. TV Samurai Champloo – Clip episodes (except […]

Uncharted 3 First Impressions [GO]
Everyone’s favorite treasure hunter, Nathan Drake, is back once again for his third journey! What’s it like? I’ll tell you. I’m about eight chapters in, but you can expect some degree of story spoiler if you read this post. I don’t think anything huge has happened yet, but if you don’t want to know about […]

What I’ve Been Doing 24 Oct 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Movies 50/50 – What a great movie. It was funny and emotional at all the right times. After seeing it I just wanted to go home and hug my roommate (like Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character, she got cancer at a young age). I’ve seen her in a grand total of four movies now, but I love […]

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 […]

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 – […]

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 […]

What I’ve Been Doing 3 Oct 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Movies Hesher – When I saw the trailer for this Joseph Gordon-Levitt movie I thought it would be a weird character study. I was pretty much right about that, but it’s simultaneously weirder and crasser than you’d think without really being comedic. Hesher is a truly bizarre character, the likes of which I’ve never seen […]

What I’ve Been Doing 26 Sept 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
It’s fitting that I watched a movie about baseball considering how much baseball I also watched this weekend. Had to watch to support the Rays. They’ve got three games to make up a one game deficit. You can do it, Tampa Bay! Movies Moneyball – Not too bad at all. We’re not talking “the best […]

Gears of War 3 Campaign [GO]
Yesterday I did two stupid things. When I started up my Public Arcade mode campaign I enabled “Scavenge Mode” (or whatever the mutator is called), which forces players to scavenge for ammo rather than find it littered about in ammo crates. Then, around midnight when I was hovering around Act IV Chapter 5 I thought, […]
