hot tears of shame.
2008-06-12 04:53:00 yep, i did it. after having heard of the insanely easy 1000 gp available in some Avatar game, and having had the game in my Gamefly queue for the last 3 months, the game finally came in, and i did it. i turned to the dark side of gamerscore obsession, and padded my gamerscore with a shitty game. it's not like i haven't done it before (King Kong), but it's not easy to admit. there's a taint More About: Shame
the creeps.
2008-06-07 05:11:00 i took a stroll last sunday with my wife to the Chicago Botanic Garden, and somewhere near the brick shithouse out there, there was a tree with the soul of some miserable person trapped in it. so i took a ax, chopped the tree down, and spent the next 15 hours in jail....here's proof that i'm not crazy. for reals.

shooter
2008-05-22 00:26:00 i was trolling the net today when i ran across this npr story about a "first person shooter" game to test subconscious racial bias in police officers. created by Joshua Correl, it tries to measure weather cops are influenced by racial bias in the split-second decision to shoot a suspect. describing this as first person shooter is a bit misleading, since it's more of a slideshow with pictures of More About: Shooter

here we go again.....
2008-05-14 19:16:00 so the latest scoop is that the makers of Guitar Hero have decided that they too want the band experience that Rock Band delivers, and have added drums and vocals to the mix. not sure where that leaves the Guitar Hero name, but here's the first pics of the drum set. they've added one more pad more than the Rock Band set ( say goodbye to Rock Band compatibility), and the cymbals are above the
holy shit it's been a week!!
2008-05-12 05:02:00 i've done a fucking awesome job of ignoring this blog in the last week, and playing a shitload of GTA 4, Mario Kart Wii and assorted shitty demos (i'm looking at you, Haze....). tonight i finally found something i've been looking for. jace and the wheeled warriors. i don't really have much to go on as far as memories go, but i do remember it had plant-based villans. and it had a kick ass More About: Week , Shit , Holy

I didn't know meth was this bad, so i'll steer clear. then again, it's probably not aimed at me, but at the kids. Hey, i want to blow up some cool sandcastles, and then watch it in reverse. wha??? there's video ALREADY??? damn.shiggy say wha??yay, new Katamari Damacy tshirts!!!! More About: Post , Ping
I douched my nose today.
2007-03-16 23:33:00 My wife got me into listening to NPR a few years ago, when we met (again). Since then, I've been a fan of Car Talk and the recently cancelled Oddessy, with Gretchen Helfridge. I mostly listen in the morning, and last month i heard a story on 848 about something called nasal irrigation. here's a description.....Nasal irrigation is an ancient personal hygiene practice, originating from the Yoga practice of Jala Neti (literally: "water cleansing"), which involves regularly flooding the nasal cavity with warm salty water. the saline solution rinses the nasal passages, clearing dried mucus and allowing the sinuses to drain freely. To practice nasal irrigation, fill a neti pot with a saline solution prepared according to the directions above. Stand over a sink and tilt the head to the side and slightly forward. Insert the spout of the neti pot into the upper nostril, allowing the saline solution to flow into the upper nostril, through the nasal passages, and out the lower nostril. G...

300
2007-03-12 18:38:00 i saw this movie last night, and what a mess. really, the movie is a directionless disaster, boring characters, and the most pretentious, overwrought and heavy-handed voiceovers. maybe in the hands of a more competent director, it might have been good, but whoever the hack was that directed this should go back to making the Power Rangers. CG blood and the slow-motion carnage looked cheap, and it felt more like a shitty Sci-Fi channel movie than the epic it aspires to be.

Super Paper Mario
2007-03-08 04:42:00 Never got to play any of the previous Paper Mari o games, but this Wii version has got me hooked. it seems like Nintendo (through the developer Intelligent Systems) have nailed the old-school vibe of the early Mario games and brought them kicking and Goomba-smashing into the next generation. flipping perspectives and getting 8-bit on the enemies looks like fun, and the art style is really cool, too. hopefully I'll be getting this game as soon as it comes out.GDC footage.

OMG, a PS3 game i want!!!
2007-03-08 03:55:00 wow, it's been a LOOOONG time (never) since I've been excited about a PS3 game. Little Big Planet might not seem like a game with longevity, but the incredible Tim Burton-like art style is awesome, and the co-op emergent game play looks fantastic. I want to see more of this game, and get more details on the level editor, sharing system and other stuff hinted at in the following videos. the physics-based game play just screams Garry's Mod, but i won't hold it against them.

Playstation Home.
2007-03-07 21:09:00 Sony just unveiled it's new "thing" for the PS3, Play station Home . it's a Second Life-like app that combines virtual spaces, interactive games and game achievement trophies. I'm on the fence about this, since it seems like alot of effort into something that doesn't really have anything to do with GAMES, which is what the PS3 really,really needs right now. That being said, it does sound cool, but i don't think it's any better than what Nintendo or Microsoft have done. Just different.I left what i had written a few hours ago up, because i wanted to really see what this was all about. after watching and reading up on all the coverage, ( check out Gametab.com for most, if not all the relevant posts on all the major gaming sites..) I really REALLY like what Sony's doing here. yeah, it has nothing to do with games, but it has everything to do with community. I probably should step back and say it has nothing to do with games that i care about, since i won't be hosting backy... More About: Station , Lays
