I died a little bit on the inside today.

Monday, July 9th, 2007

If there is one group of people who drive me batty, it’s the health nuts. Sure, I’m not entirely fit and I know that’s my fault. I can live with this. But without the occasional indulgence, food becomes boring. And with something that I do three times a day, I want a little variety or [...]

Surprisingly Supple

Monday, July 9th, 2007

I picked up Resident Evil 4 Wii Version the other day. I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. A game that wasn't even designed with the Wiimote in mind seems to handle it better than some that were. 
Asides from pointing and shooting via Wiimote, the Shenmue-esque Quick Time Events are the biggest change. It may [...]

Nothing quite like hearing Utada via Gameboy speakers

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

Simple and Clean sounds more like a commercial song for a sanitary napkin, but what do I know? Really now.
Starting up Kingdom Hearts 2 a while back gave the impression that Chain of Memories is vital to understanding what the shit is going on in the game. What I found in Chain of Memories was [...]

Stop All The Fighting!

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Warning: Heroes finale spoilers below.
Last night delivered unto me the Heroes season finale. Of course, I missed it due to what is probably best called a brain fart. Oh well. I have the season pass on iTunes so I just waited for it to come up there.
Anyway, I really, really liked it. It wrapped up [...]

The Pokémans Are Coming! THE POKÉMANS ARE COMING!

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Sweet happenin’ hogwash, it has happened again.
With the advent of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl releasing in the US last Sunday, and since some friends are playing I once again picked up my Japanese version and got to work. I’m at over seventy hours of playtime. The game is still far from perfect, but damn does [...]

Hot Food and Hot Fuzz

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

My bowels are already fighting back.
Had Indian food for the first time last night. Chicken vindaloo. My goodness that burns like crazy.  Yet it is quite tasty. A tad too pricey for the likes of me, $11 for a bowl that didn’t quite fill me up, but good food nonetheless.
Hot Fuzz also opens this weekend, [...]

Puzzle Quest Is Making Me All Tingly

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

In my pee pee parts.
Holy shit this game is addicting. Part Bejeweled, part Dungeons and Dragons. Flip around some blocks, cast some spells, swing your sword of ass slaying +1 with an extra kick when you connect three skulls and there are an abundance of red blocks on the board. Pure awesomeness.
Needless to say, when [...]

Despite What You May Have Been Led To Believe, You Are Not Invisible Inside Your Car

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

So, it has been about a week since the new Modest Mouse album hit. I’m excited, aren’t you?
It took a few spins, as most albums do, but I love it. It is not very similar to Good News For People Who Love Bad News, but then again that one wasn’t exactly similar to The Moon [...]

Holy Shitballs, Phoenix Wright is Awesome

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I am only just now suffering from the effects of staying up until half past two in the ante meridian two nights past trying to prove an unfortunate girl innocent of murder. But damn all if it isn’t a thrilling experience. Lawyer games are more fun than you can imagine. And since it doesn’t really [...]

Symphony of the Damn-You-360-Controller!

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

To say that Symphony of the Night is my favorite game of all time is an understatement. Tell me that I can only play one game for the rest of eternity and I’d say “Okay,” and then snag my PS1 and my copy of SotN and be happy. Anyways, this past Wednesday it was [...]
