It is in hand. Well, in bag, actually. And I’m going to need it. It is currently a balmy 2 degrees in the great wasteland of central Iowa, with a blistering -15 degree wind chill and an accompanying frigid wind that cracks at the air like an arctic tundra. I really need this winter to […]
No More Heroes has acquired my interest
Violent Wii-exclusive action title No More Heroes by Suda 51 has been garnering some rather excellent reviews since its release this week. They are compiling some of the more impressive scores over at Evil Avatar. A 9 (out of 10) from GameSpot. A 4 1/2 (out of 5) from Gamepro. Perfect 5 from X-Play. I […]

Propeller kind of sucks
I started using Propeller about a week ago as a Digg alternative. My goal was to find a place that gave me the same functionality as Digg, but maybe offered more topical variety, gave a platform to undiscovered stories, and maybe even included a better interface for activity. What I found at Propeller was the […]
Ding! Back!
Looks like Scott made a decision, and Ding! will return to the web sometime soon. However, instead of being a Sunday feature on PvP, it’s going to be a Tuesday/Thursday feature over at a new gaming site called Crispy Gamer. Huzzah!
Possible return of Ding!?
Scott Kurtz has gotten re-addicted to World of Warcraft, and in his obviously raid-induced state of clouded thought, is considering resurrecting his old MMO-based single-panel comic Ding! as a Sunday color feature. Please join me in letting Scott know that anything new from him is welcome in our cozy little webcomic universe.
Finally finished Metroid Prime 3!
I beat the game last night, with 100% completion, meaning I obtained all of the cherished suit upgrades, missile expansions, and energy tanks. I spent a sum total of 21 hours, 34 minutes in the MP3:C universe, and enjoyed every minute. The last boss – Dark Samus and the stolen Aurora unit – were incredibly […]
Quick book review: Jennifer Government
I finished Jennifer Government this weekend. And even though the dreaded 10-point review scale is a tool of the unintelligent and creatively bereft, I give it a 7 out of 10. Overall, it held within its pages a wonderful, intricately-woven story that had a fantastic premise, but there were a few niggling plot details and […]
Well, that was a surprise
Clinton narrowly edges out Obama in the New Hampshire primary. The race for the Democratic nomination is obviously far from over. But there are still many more contests on the horizon, and many, many more delegates to win. I wonder if Hillary’s small boost came from her experiment with emotions or from her attack dog, […]
Obama gaining more ground
Looks like my man Barack Obama is doing very well for himself in New Hampshire. Kos is predicting a win. With a resounding victory in Iowa, a follow-up in New Hampshire will put him on very solid footing for the rest of the Democratic nomination campaign cycle. And then, it’s a harsh fight against whoever […]
