A couple of co-workers and I decided to play a friendly game of darts over our lunch hour today. In the process, we experienced our very own “fail“. We were playing a certain type of dart game that I was unfamiliar with. Basically, you begin with 300 points and you continue to throw the darts, […]
A photo of my shame
Some may doubt my wife’s gaming prowess. May I submit to you proof that my wife is indeed, “1337”. In the photo below, my wife’s Mii is the one in the orange hat with shades. She has left me with, what, five top scores? Out of nearly thirty? A paltry sum, I declare, but I […]
Of tropics and crossbows…and gamer wives
I’m lucky in that I’ve latched onto an amazing woman for my wife. Besides her phenomenal cooking skills, her excellent brain, and her beautiful body, she also happens to be a lifelong gamer. She honed her skill on the Sega Genesis, playing Sonic the Hedgehog games. More recently, she’s been addicted to various MSN “casual” […]
And now, I’ve acquired No More Heroes
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 […]
