“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Beer in spades!
Can beer come in spades? Or is it limited to mere "pack" equivalents. Regardless, I had a multitude of brew last night and enjoyed it thoroughly. Yesterday we celebrated both my boss' birthday and my good friend Dane's birthday. My boss' wife and I conspired to sneak...
You’re not special
I caught sight of something on Digg today that brought me back in time to college and all the bullshit that so called artists come up with. Looking through the stories this morning I happened to see a story on what information is really in a barcode. I'm not all that...
Exclusivity is bad for everyone
Word just dropped YESTERDAY about a multiplayer beta for Call of Duty 4 on the 360. Of course, reading the news today, I headed over to their website to sign up. That was of course, before the 10 layers of bullshit I had to sit through. First off, going to the...
Anger keeps me warm at night
Stupid things I've heard today, and my justifiably sarcastic response. Apple Fan Boy: "Mac's are better because every Windows peripheral works with them." Me: It's called USB you fuck-knob. USB works with both equally well. That's why it's a hardware standard. That's...
The Impending Awesome
I think I've mentioned numerous times the depth of this winters video game release schedule. I've extolled numerous titles and their impending greatness. It wasn't until I decided to put a complete list together that the magnitude of this seasons offerings really hit...
Facebook, MySpace and the ilk
Really, that headline was just an excuse to use the word "ilk". I've decided to delete my profiles on both of those services. Also, I'm going to kill both the Vox account and my Jaiku account. Basically, I start these things and never use them, and the "social" aspect...
Xbox Live – Continued
To answer some of Nagle's questions, I figured it would be easier to write up a whole other post solely about Xbox Live. Initially, when I got my 360, I had to think about what I was going to do with Live, accessories and my initial game purchases. I searched all over...
Sacrifice
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask one of you to do something for me. You might not like it, but it has to be done. Sure it will be painful, but with time the pain will lessen and you'll get used to your new condition. I'm going to need one of you to buy a Xbox 360....
More than Meets the Eye
Going into Transformers I had very mixed emotions. Every geek part of me wanted to scream "giant robots are awesome!" but every fiber of my movie going bias was saying "oh shit, it's a Michael Bay film". I had high geek pride and low movie expectations. I'm happy to...
The most perfect food
Last night, in celebration of Lauren's accomplishment, we went out for dinner. Wanting something special, we decided to try a restaurant we had never been to, but had heard good things about. We ended up at Brenner's Steakhouse, which, according to the back of the...
