Bad Company Revolution

I had a chance to check out the demos for both Civ:Revolutions and Battlefield:Bad Company this week. Neither of which really blew my skirt up. I'll start with Civ since it's franchise is near and dear to my heart. Not to say that Battlefield isn't, but the most...

Couldn’t have said it better

I rarely cut and paste. I find it demeaning to the medium of blogs as a whole. In this case however, it couldn't be helped. I had tried, repeatedly, to sum up my compassion for computer gaming for some time, in hopes that I could convey how much I love the platform...

So, what can I do with this hunk of metal?

Forthcoming Drought

If I hear one more website put forward the notion that the new GTA is not only better than sliced bread but in fact redefines the loaf, someone is going to have a substantial loss of blood. I think I'm the only one that realizes that we're heading into the summer...

The Big Bang

Now that all the papers have been signed, all the T's crossed and the I's dotted, and all the announcements and notices given, it's probably safe to tell you guys. As of May 12th, I'll be employed at a large (if not the largest) NASA contractor as an art...

A Long Two Weeks

If I'm delayed in posting, often it's only for the best of reasons. Over the past two weeks, my father in law has been hospitalized with severe intestinal problems, surgery and compications arising from both. He had surgery two weeks ago and just got out of the ICU a...
