“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Hardware Review: Razer Gaming Peripherals
About two months ago, I had a mysterious email from PC Gamer magazine. I had won a contest for a new set of gaming hardware and a copy of XCOM:Enemy Unknown. They asked for my address and I never heard anything else from them. Then, a couple weeks ago, random packages...
COMCically late
I, like most of you, made a rather large purchase at COMC on Black Friday. The exception being that mine just arrived, and you guys were blogging about yours last week. Oh well. At least it showed up, right? I can't really claim I got anything mind blowing, but I did...
Trade with Ryan
Ryan over at "O" No!!! Another Orioles Blog had posted up some tradebait before Thanksgiving and I couldn't help but jump on a couple awesome relics he had. I sent him a bunch of Orioles and he sent these beauties my way. My unabashed love for all things quasi-retro...
Strange Little Hobby
I have this thing about seeing incredibly easy to do things that people are charging money for. I can't stand it when people apply a blue filter to a photo, save it as an action, then sell that action for $10. Drives me right up a wall. I'm a DIY kind of guy, and so...
Organization
Ok, so, I have a confession, and a question. A Confestion. I'm an artsy guy, and as such the left side of my brain isn't exactly in the driver's seat when it comes to organization. I've managed to make a few attempts at organizing the collection, mostly the typical...
Big October
So, October has come and gone and the card faeries have been especially kind. I made several trades, a couple group breaks, and the usually random ebay cheap pickups. I did manage to scan the break cards from both Sam and Ryan (thanks guys!) but I honestly have no...
Sarcasm
The revolution will not be televised due to our blackout policy. Because the revolution is taking place in your market, you will be unable to watch the revolution. Instead of the revolution, the classic Billy Bob Thornton/John Cusack film, Pushing Tin, will be...
Private Video
I got a good laugh out of this this morning. I had THREE emails in my inbox telling me that my video, a bunch of clips of my old gaming team playing, contained "content" from Warner Music, EMI Music, and IODA. The punchline: it's a private video. Always has been. So,...
World Series
So, Giants and Tigers huh? That's not a bad World Series. Certainly more interesting than a Yankees/Cardinals WS, right? I was actually kind of pulling for the Nationals to go a little further, but the Giants are among my "if I didn't have the Red Sox..." optional...
In your Face…book
Dear every major brand, product, company, website, celebrity, news organization and publication, Please, I beg of you, stop using Facebook. Also, please stop assuming everyone is on Facebook in the first place. I'm not on Facebook. My friends are constantly amazed by...
