“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Battlefield Rage Quit
I honestly don't know where to begin. I wanted to do a proper review of Battlefield 3, but I can't see past the blind rage I'm feeling at the moment. It's my own fault. I should have known better. I caught the "Crysis" bug and bought a game that, while visually...
Lunch Break
While enjoying a tasty lunch at Whataburger, I stopped in at the Wallyworld across the street, fully intending to pick up just a blaster, or two mini-blasters of 2011 Topps Update, just in hopes of finishing off my set. While I did manage to get 2 of the 3 cards I'm...
End of the Blockade
For quite a long time now I've been blocking search engines. Mostly just to cut down on blog spam. I realized that while it's easy to stay in my own little bubble, it really doesn't make much sense. The point of a blog is an outward opinion, shared with the masses. A...
New Card Scans
So, it's been a couple weeks since I talked about baseball cards and I had a few spare minutes this weekend while the kiddo was taking a nap, so I busted out the scanner and gathered up what I had purchased over the past couple weeks. For starters, the Topps 2011...
Red Ring No Longer
So, if you've been following my Google Plus account, you'd know that last week I got the dreaded Red Ring of Death. After 6 years, the ol'Xbox 360 launch console finally decided it had enough and put up the flag or surrender. I called Mircosoft and of course the...
I’m glad I’m not in Boston today
All the fair-weather fans who've come out of the woodwork disgust me. There are literally hundreds of pages of comments on every major Boston publication's website today calling for either the resignation of Theo, the head of Tito, or the open roasting of Carl...
Card Trade
So, Sam stopped by last weekend to hang out for a bit and of course we brought out the card binders. I had been on a bit of a binge, buying all sorts of random blasters again and I had a bunch of stuff in my "for trade" pile. I ended up trading my Michael Choice auto...
BF3 vs MW3
What's better than 1 angry post a day? TWO angry posts a day! I need to address a couple issues that I've come to have in the battle of the first person shooter franchises this fall. These issues may very well be worked out and may become non-issues by the time the...
Netflix
I read about the Netflix/Qwikster announcement this morning and just had to laugh. That company is so severely confused and mismanaging what was a virtual monopoly on the video rental industry that they almost deserve to fail. I say almost because even though I've...
New Theme
Decided to change it up a little bit this week. Picked a new theme for the ol'blog. This one is a little (actually a lot) more minimalistic and feels a little less "corporate" than the old theme. Haven't completely decided on the link/accent color, but it'll work for...
