  • “Soy un sobreviviente” – What I’ve Been Doing 27 Aug 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Busy week of prepping to move and moving, but that didn’t stop me from getting some media in… Movies Juan de los muertos – It’s not the greatest movie in the world, but it’s pretty damn awesome. I don’t get to see a lot of movies about Cuba or set in Cuba and this was […]

  • Mann vs. Machine – What I’ve Been Doing 21 Aug 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Big video game week for me while simultaneously being a terrible week for tv that I would normally watch. Since I did most of my watching at Tiffany’s…well…I think you can guess what kind of tv I was subjected to. Movies Jeff, Who Lives At Home – It’s my first Duplass brothers film and I […]

  • Meet the Pyro [GO/ER]

    Ever wondered what it was like to be the Pyro? What the Pyro sees and thinks? You may never sleep again… Man, Valve is so awesome…

  • E3 2012 – Quantum Conundrum [ER/GO]

    In case you didn’t know, Kim Swift was the lead designer on Portal. Quantum Conundrum promises to be just as mind-bendingly amazing, but will it be as funny without Wolpaw and Falziek? I’m expecting big things (and they offered TF2 items on pre-order as (what I suspect was) a nice gesture to Kim), so I […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 19 Sept 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    It may look like I’m insulting Gears, but I’m really not. That’s legitimately the closest those guys come to eloquence most games. They’re fantastic games, but their stories are fundamentally idiotic. Movies Thor – I’m pretty sure that complaining about blatant product placement in a movie was last interesting five years ago, but I found […]
