Tumblin'
Is it time to drop LJ? Probably was a long time ago. Regardless, I'm trying something different for when I feel the need to put something on the internet.
And no, it's not a Twitter.LJ's been behind the times for years now, but this (somewhat) recent change that only shows 1 or 2 entries on my friends page? Man, that would be the absolute last ( Read more... ) -
Portal 2: More is Less
I just finished Portal 2, and I'm-a gonna talk about it. Because it is another shining example of how every person who identifies themselves as a gamer loves Valve and everything they do to death, while I just don't think they make games that are all that great. I've probably already ranted about how Half-Life 2 is the most overrated piece of ( Read more... ) -
A Glorious Return to Blogging About Dumb ol' Videogames
I'm close to almost done with this livejournal business, but I do kind of like griping about the media I consume, so here we are. I was actually going to write a post a week or so ago about this dumb book I read, but then I decided it would be better if I actually wrote a review on Amazon so other people wouldn't make the same mistake of reading ( Read more... ) -
Whoops
Since I already owned Braid and Osmos, I bought the Humble Indie Bundle pretty much entirely because I mistook Revenge of the Titans for Titan Attacks. Despite having similar titles and being from the same developer (maybe even part of the same series?), only one of these games is actually fun, because only one of these games is not a stupid tower ( Read more... ) -
Dragonbag
Seen in the parking garage today: Pea-green Honda Element with Apple logo sticker, flying spaghetti monster emblem, and bull horns zip-tied to the grill.
Ultimate destination: Douchebag championships. -
Metroid: The Other (White) M(eat)
I took a break from playing downloadable games to try out Metroid Other M. It's an easy verdict, easily reached: STARK STEAMING TURD ( Read more... ) -
I'm Getting Too Old for This Shit
Monday Night Combat is actually a pretty great idea. It's like DOTA, I guess (I never played it, but that's what everybody says), except you're actually doing stuff instead of clicking on things, so it's fun. Also, it's 3rd-person instead of 1st-person, so you can see what the hell is happening, which I really appreciate ( Read more... ) -
Missed Opportunities
I don't really keep up with server technology, so maybe this sort of thing is old news, but I'd never seen one before. I was getting set up with a test station in the lab at work, which is some 16-core beast running Windows Server '08. I didn't really want to have to go over to the lab every time I wanted to test a build, so I asked the guy who ( Read more... ) -
Reality: Distorted
Last I heard there were three separate class-action suits being filed against Apple because their new iPhones lose signal strength when you hold them "wrong." Seriously, just how entitled do you have to be to go to court because you are simply disappointed with an unnecessary consumer entertainment deviceLet's get real, here; this isn't some ( Read more... ) -
Special Sale - One Week Only!
All my licenses for the games I bought during Steam's summer sale just vanished today. Every single one of them. Guess it wasn't that great a deal after all!
