Mass Effect 2: Not Enough Superlatives
I may not be entirely done with Mass Effect 2 yet, but I have played through it once already, and I'm more than a third of the way through my 2nd playthrough. So I think I can go ahead and write about it now. My only concern is that I'm not sure I can say enough good things about it.

Fuck Twitter
Sweet mercy, how I hate Twitter!
...‘cause a Tweet from your pooch is a virtual smooch!This sort of shit was dumb enough when it was just some bored folks with a bit of tinker knowhow and nothing better to do hooking their houseplants up to Twitter so they wouldn't forget to water them. That was useful learning tool for building homemade ( Read more... ) -
Odious Tea
Continuing my perfect record of quitting Halo games largely because of some technical difficulty, I decided to give up on Halo: ODST.

Fighting Fantasy
I'm not a resolution sort of person, but the closest thing I've got I guess is that I told myself I would write about every game I played this year so that 1) I keep writing for an audience, since I no longer do it for work, and 2) I have something slightly productive come out of all the time I spend gaming.

Year in Review
Well, let's do a year-end post. I don't have much to talk about, because I didn't do much in '09. Really, it's just a crappy cap-off to the crappy back-half of a decade that had a really awesome first half. But I'm not here to talk about 2000-05. Or 06-08 ( Read more... ) -
Go to Next Generation...
Genetos finally released it's full 1.0 version. In case you missed my gushing over it back when it was still missing a last level, it's an awesome doujin shmup where each stage represents an era of shooters, from bare-bones Space Invaders, to simple shooters like Xevious, to more complex shooters like Raiden with enemy swarms, to modern bendy- ( Read more... ) -
My Life as a (Hot Dog) King
Acting on a friend's advice, I decided to take a break from my workaday drudgery, and try out the glamorous lifestyle of the executive class by opening my own fast food chain. I figured such a major change in profession warranted a matching change in scenery, so I packed up and headed off to the great Pacific Northwest. It sounded good on paper ( Read more... ) -
This is a Twitter Post
63 point Race to the Galaxy hand, not playing with any of the bonus objectives. That's a new personal best. -
Grey and Grey
One of the big marketing points about Dragon Age is about how the player is forced to make tough decisions. How the game takes place in a world full of shades of gray. How there's no clear line between right and wrong. Maybe it's because I've only been playing for a few hours, but this mostly seems to boil down to filling your party with jerks ( Read more... )
