The subject line pretty much says it all. I'm glad that, for the first time since the Dreamcast, the price drop came when I was seriously considering buying a console rather than weeks after I bought it. I'm still going to go with a refurb, as I'll feel much safer getting one that has already suffered the Red Ring of Death and been resurrected ( Read more... )

Guitar Hero II.

I had not played any of the GH games except one time in Best Buy, because I tend to suck a whole lot at rhythm games. I'm ok at DDR, and that's it. Everything else I've tried, I failed miserably at. But Jasmine, thanks to her game store job, had been playing GHII, and decided to pick it up. She brought it over worried that I would ( Read more... )

This week's VG Cats points out almost everything I disliked about the Transformers movie, especially the creepiness of the guy and girl whose names I've long since forgotten making out on Bumblebee's hood at the end (of course it's taken a bit farther in the strip). However, I still enjoyed the movie because, well, I was willing to overlook a lot ( Read more... )

I am in my new apartment in the sense that my body and my possessions reside here. However, I am not what most people would call "moved in". Every room of the house is in shambles or boxes (or trash bags). I have made serious headway on my studio today, and am typing this update on my desktop computer, which is fully set up for recording. However, ( Read more... )

Tonight on KXUA

8:00-10:00 PM: The Twilight Garden (my goth show)

10:00-12:00 AM: The Ballroom on Mars (Jasmine's glam show)

Listen!

This is the first RPG that has sounded interesting to me in years, and I would be lying if I said the fact that characters call creatures into battle by shooting themselves in the head was not a major factor in my interest. We all know that suicide is considered much more acceptable in Japan than in the U.S., but watching a gameplay video in which ( Read more... )

As of Thursday, I will no longer live in The House on the Edge of the Park. My time as the roommate of

Any thoughts? The trailer piqued my interest and I looked up a bunch of stuff about it (after figuring out what the hell it's even called), and I think the theory that it's a Blair Witch style giant monster/disaster movie seems to be the most realistic. I was pretty taken with the trailer; I somehow knew in the first couple of seconds that it was ( Read more... )

Because neither Jasmine nor I is rolling in the money right now, we just got around to seeing Transformers tonight; and that was only because she won free passes to the movie at her job (for being awesome and selling tons of stuff to geeks (including a PS3, which means she can sell anything ( Read more... )
