Loot list
So, I've now been the subject of five separate happy birthdays, first with coworkers, then Nina, then friends, Nina's family, and my family. So I figure it should be fairly safe now to list off the swag I got for surviving another year ( Read more... ) -
A Recounting of Events
So my birthday was Saturday (April 8th), and so I have quite a bit of stuff that happened this weekend. First on Friday, Nina and I went out for a nice meal followed by a movie.

Sony Rant, PT 2
So Sony has issued a "clarification" on yesterday's price news. 1UP claims it could be clarification or it could be damage control. I propose a new theory: testing. Simple formula. "Leak" information, check response, revise as necessary. It beats going public for real with the price and looking like fools, and the timing is about right for E3. Sony ( Read more... ) -
Holy Price-gouging, Batman!

Time for another edition of Reeve Points Out the Obvious
Lost is a really crazy, f-ed up, complex show. They displayed a map for about 30 seconds last Wednesday, and the fanbase podcast I listen to spent nearly an hour disecting it. Seriously! An hour! The bloody thing had Latin writing that could only be read with a screencap from high-def TVs ( Read more... ) -
One last thought on V...
I've been letting out the brunt of my aggression with "V for Vendetta" here lately, and perhaps unjustly so. I was entertained by the movie, but just thought it got a bit big for its breeches, so to speak. But today I discovered a criticism that, while not totally aligned with my own, speaks a few of my problems with the film much more eloquently ( Read more... ) -
Rest in Peace
