Alan Wake
So I've been really looking forward to Alan Wake, ever since it was announced, oh, four or five years ago. Developed by Remedy, the folks behind the first two awesome Max Payne games, it looks to combine supernatural elements with a thriller. The developers compare the structure to Lost (episodic, not content) and say they were inspired by Twin ( Read more... ) -
Coheed & Cambria
....does this thing still work? *cough* Hi, all. Ever since I stopped being a paying member (I felt like I was paying for crap service...LJ has been slow as hell for the last three-four months), I lost the ability to update via email (which I did when I had a moment at work/lunch/etc). I still read everyone's journal, though. I can do that ( Read more... ) -
Heavy Rain: Fun and emotionally exhausting
I finished Heavy Rain this weekend, which I think is the quickest turnaround for a game for me, in like ever. For all of its flaws (and it does have some, both minor and major), Heavy Rain is one of the most compelling experiences I’ve ever played through. From the opening moments, it grabbed me by the throat and wouldn’t let go, even after I ( Read more... ) -
Mass Effect 2 & My Disappointment
I find myself completely conflicted with Mass Effect 2. I can squash my thoughts into two little sentences: “As a game, Mass Effect 2 rocks. As a story, it sucks.” That’s what I tweeted about the game, that I finished tonight at roughly 29 hours. But you can only dig in so far with Twitter. Here’s a more in depth dissection of this game, and ( Read more... ) -

Zombies!!! The Board Game
I’ve kind of been on a board game kick, mostly spurred by some games I played whilst in NYC. I already mentioned Munchkin, which I now own in two varieties (the original Munchkin and the awesome Cthulhu Munchkin that callmesteam got me for my bday-thanks again, man) and then there’s Bang! which I purchased, as well. Now it’s Zombies!!! The Board Game. This ( Read more... ) -
A roundabout way to say thank you
When I went to NYC over NYE (ha!), one of the things we did was play some board/card games. One of the games we played was this little thing called Munchkin. This deceptive game is a spoof and semi-satire of pen and paper roleplaying games (specifically Dungeons and Dragons), but as a card game. The object of the game is to be the first player ( Read more... ) -

Because I saw a LJ friend do it and it sounds like a great idea!

Avatar Review
Avatar was arguably the most entertaining movies to come out this year; a year that had a couple other equally entertaining flicks like Star Trek, District 9 and Inglourious Basterds. Most action directors filming today should look back at Cameron’s career...here with Avatar, but stretching back to True Lies, Aliens, the first two Terminator ( Read more... )
