Halo, Goodbye

Dear friends,
I’m that guy.
Yes, I’m that guy who, upon finally getting back to his beloved Xbox 360 with his brand-spanking-new copy of Halo 3, put the disc in the machine and…the Xbox 360 died.

Halo 3 impatience

Well, I’ve got to get through one more work day before I can play Halo 3. My friend Tom wisely recommended I take tomorrow off, rather than today, because I’ll no doubt be up pretty late tonight.
I wasn’t crazy enough to buy my copy last night at midnight, so I’ll pick it up after work [...]

Toy spinoff blog

I’ve decided to create a spinoff blog that will focus solely on toys. As such, I’ve registered poeghostal.com (Poe Ghostal is my Web pseudonym). I plan to try and design the site myself, so probably won’t start running until sometime in November, since I have to focus on Halloween Month here all October.
I wanted to [...]

Something wicked this way comes…hopefully.

This time last year, I was knee-deep in writing reviews of movies like Spaced Invaders and Deepstar Six, to say nothing of my ill-fated attempt at writing a zombie story (well, not that ill-fated; I did finally finish it about two months ago).
I’m behind this year–having not written anything at all yet–but I’ve got some [...]

foosball is the devil

I joined my first-ever fantasy football league a month ago, teaming up with my dad. Our team, the Hellboys, had the eleventh pick in a snake draft (so we also had the fourteenth pick). Somehow we ended up with both Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson, the quarterback and wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, respectively.
I’m [...]

Phew.

Thank you, Josh Beckett. Thank you.
DG and I seem to have both caught a cold at the game Friday night. She blames the Yankees. It stinks to be sick on such a glorious day like today.
Late to the party as usual, we’ve started watching Heroes and Burn Notice. Both are pretty cool. I’ve managed to [...]

My bad.

It’s all my fault.
I’ll take the blame. Heap your scorn upon me. I deserve it.
For it was I who, after having sat in the humid heat for more than three hours of what was apparently the second-longest nine-inning major league game of all time, decided I just had, had to get up out of my [...]

Go Sox!

My friend Andy and I are going to the Red Sox-Yankees game tonight with our respective fiancees. I’ll try to bring a real camera and take some actual pictures (rather than forcing you to squint at my cell phone photos).
So the hammer has come down on Videogate and in the end, I do think the [...]
