  • Video Games of 2013 [GO]

    Writing this list each year is one of my favorite things to do at the end of the year. It forces some perspective on what I played and coheres my thoughts on the experiences this year. I spent less time with video games this year, to the tune of 19 fewer games played. 2013 heralded […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 8 May 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    After a long, tough week in Florida and a long, busy week in MD I’m looking forward to a little downtime… Movies Iron Man 3 – A new director means a brand new feel for the movie. Stark isn’t in the suit that much and it just all feels…different, but that’s not bad! I really […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 22 April 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Nothing really big going on this week. Played a lot of Tomb Raider and edited a bunch of episodes to prep for some dry times ahead. Movies Not quite this week. Hopefully this one, but I’ll also be fairly busy. TV Parks and Recreation – The most reliable Parks and Rec laughs for me nowadays […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 15 April 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    I actually had a really busy week considering how little media I consumed Mon-Wed. So much baseball too… Movies The Thieves – I enjoyed The Thieves, but it had a fundamental issue of elevating every single subplot to maximum import. It was just a little too overcrowded and it wanted to have its cake and […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 8 April 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Broke the seal on baseball season this week by attending my first game. Marlins at Nats. Of course Miami lost, but it’s the experience that makes it all feel right. Movies Looper – Best line: “I don’t want to talk about time travel shit. Because if we talk about it, then we’re gonna be here […]

  • Trailer Roundup: Street Fighter x Mega Man, The Last of Us, and Tomb Raider [GO/ER]

    It’s the mash-up nobody knew they wanted until today! I mean, this is pure insanity, but it’s also super awesome. Rock vs. Ryu?! BRILLIANT! Can’t wait for that free download. Uncharted 3 may have been lacking that je ne sais quoi that its predecessors have, but that’s probably because the big guns were working on […]

  • Another Tomb Raider Trailer [GO/ER]

    It’s clear that Eidos/Squeenix is taking a TON of inspiration from the Uncharted series, but this trailer does feature a distressing amount of violence toward women. It’s kind of grimy feeling to watch, but this game could be very interesting to play.

  • Tomb Raider Looks Good? Tomb Raider Looks Great! [GO/ER]

    The trailer for the new Tomb Raider game, titled Tomb Raider (go figure), looks fantastic. It’s the first trailer for a Tomb Raider game to excite me since, well, ever. I’ve never raided a single tomb with Lara and I’ve never wanted to, but this trailer calls back to the great Uncharted 2 trailer of […]

  • The Portrayal of Women in Gaming [Game Overview]

    Despite the growing number of female gamers and older gamers, the larger audience in gaming does lie within the 18-35 (or whatever the range is supposed to be), male demographic, which means that games are made primarily for that audience (fortunately (for publishers), most 14-17 year-olds respond to the same marketing techniques). It follows that […]
