I know some of the areas have already reported, but I was eating dinner and just generally lagging behind today ( Read more... )

We're presented the opportunity to look back and debate over this year's best. The two mediums I hold most dear, where I'd feel most comfortable making a statement with some measure of accuracy, are, of course, film and games. Even still, not owning a 360, just like not seeing every critically acclaimed motion picture, puts a damper on my judgment ( Read more... )

I don't post much media on here, usually things I run into are funny at the moment but are generally forgettable. Today, however, I uncovered a bit of a gem. It's a year old, but this is the first time I saw it. Now I am warning you before hand, and I am serious about this warning, don't watch this if you're not particularly in the mood to get ( Read more... )

If my father wasn't my father, I wouldn't want to be friends with him. I love the man and I try my best to honor him, but I do not like him very much as a human being. He is petty, childish, and brutish, none of which I understand as a characteristic much at all. I don't understand how someone can live their life that way, having as much trouble ( Read more... )

24 songs = $220,000.

Good night, you'd think one of the judges would've thought that perhaps that sounds a bit excessive. It wasn't as if the record companies were suing Napster or Limewire, this is just a single mom in Minnesota. I mean, I see that she's using a stupid defense, and I see that the jury can't consciously say that she didn't do ( Read more... )

Now that Gamestop is offering the same promotion as Steam, and due to the fact that the horrid video card in my laptop is good enough, I went ahead and put in a pre-order for The Orange Box. As my TF2 Beta downloads, I wonder what I'm going to do with my copies of Half-life 2 and Episode One? It seems like such a waste to just throw them away, I ( Read more... )

My mind and body are completely exhausted. Not so much as a result of the stimulation of the work, but of the load itself. I went from being unemployed, on summer vacation, to being employed at about 25-30 hours a week and a 14 hour school schedule. With both a new place of business and a new place of education, I found myself in quite a stressful ( Read more... )

As you know I'm all alone over here so it's helpful for me to use Societal Lapse as a bit of an outlet for the pleasures I stumble upon from time to time. Since this fell in line so perfectly with my last post, I thought it should be written as soon as possible. Not to remain in a weary state, questioning my self-described sharp, accurate taste in ( Read more... )

Marketing is such a evil mistress, she cons even the most frugal men into spending money on her, only to end up ditching him with her ugly friend Reality ( Read more... )

When alone, have you ever seen something so well done, so appealing to your tastes that it made you praise it outloud? Where you were the only person in the room, yet you feel compelled to let yourself know how awesome the thing was that you just witnessed ( Read more... )
