Fivethirtyeight‘s latest entry has me seething, only because I agree with it whole heartedly. As far as I can tell, Obama’s currying the favor of Republicans and stoners. The White House has anonymously ripped those marching in the National Equality March, the very same sort of people who Obama promised change to and helped propel [...]
The following is an actual conversation between Nora and I: Nora: “I don’t like daddy anymore.” Me: “What?! WHY?!” Nora: “Daddy needs to go down the drain. Down the drain with the water. We need to make the hole bigger so daddy can go down the drain and go bye bye.” Me: “Why do I [...]
We put the crib together this weekend. In terms of weekends, it’s one of the least productive weekends in recent memory; however, just getting that thing together feels like a major accomplishment. I wanted to note that not only was Nora in the room, she was an active helper. I don’t mention it that much [...]
I’ll be brief. I finally finished Ratchet and Clank. Created by Insomniac Games using the Naughty Dog engine (which powered Jak), this game is easily the ‘best playing’ 3D platformer I’ve had a chance to play. What I mean is, at no point does the third dimension create an impediment to enjoying the game. Not [...]
It’s worth watching at least half way just for what Nora says. Get the latest Flash Player to see this player. [Javascript required to view Flash movie, please turn it on and refresh this page] Addendum It doesn’t hit full throttle until 5 seconds in. It looks like the video skips, but it’s actually going [...]
Note: NOLF = No One Lives Forever I’m simultaneously frustrated and entertained by NOLF. Unlike R&C, it’s not a grind. However, it’s hard. Really hard. Gist: you’re a spy, and you do spy things. It’s a cross between Bond and Austin Powers. What makes this game so tremendously hard is the stealth. The intrinsic problem [...]
It’s pretty hard to not be amped for The Expendables: Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ravi Shankar (?!)… It’s as though these actors had a on their bucket list a need to make the most over the top action movie [...]
The last week has been strange. Very strange. It started last Friday where we got right down to the wire with the surety bond. In those instances, you learn a lot about people. In this case, one of the companies we entrusted to deal with the bond failed us – and didn’t notify us. In [...]
The nice thing about Goozex is that the credits and points don’t disappear. I had been sitting on 900 points, so as a reward I decided to pick up five games that many people have recommended but I never got around to owning: Boom Blox (Wii), No One Lives Forever 1+2, Mark of Kri, and [...]
