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 [...]

ITEM!

In the spirit of the “vacation” I took last week, I’m going to do a little tidying up in this post, hitting a lot of points with no real theme.
DG and I took Thursday and Friday off last week for a little mini-vacation. I’ve got vacation days that expire at the end of June and [...]

Wormy fate

I downloaded Worms for the Xbox Live Arcade this morning. I’ve been a Worms fan since the very first version of the game back in the early ’90s (though I never tried the 3D versions, as I think that’s just not the right format for the property).
While the game is as good as ever, I [...]

Finish the fight

Recently, with all the love being lavished upon the Wii by the likes of Ed and Robin, I considered the possibility of requesting a Wii rather than an Xbox 360 (my birthday comes four days after Christmas, so these days I tend to just ask my parents for one big gift for both Christmas and [...]

Evil Dead: Regeneration

As I’ve discussed before, I became a fan of the Evil Dead films around age fifteen, when the films were so obscure, my parents had to buy used tapes from a Canadian video store to get me the films for Christmas. By the time I got to college, the films had already gone from cult [...]

Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!

I just finished playing Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge. I was a huge fan of the The Secret of Monkey Island and later played both the third and fourth games, but somehow I missed the second one, and after being reminded of the games by Ed recently, I decided to hunt it down.

virtual Germans

I’ve been playing Call of Duty 2 lately. I lost interest in the FPS (first-person shooter) genre after Quake II (with the notable exception of the Halo games), but COD2 came with my graphics card and apparently was the best-selling game of the holiday season (nothing says Christmas like an M3 Grease Gun), so I [...]

Given the name of this site, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point this out:Jaws: the Videogame
To my knowledge, there’s only been one other JAWS-based videogame: a 1987 Nintendo game based on the terrible JAWS: The Revenge (which actually had the tagline “This Time, It’s Personal”–on a side note, I’m curious whether this is the [...]

I’ve taken down “One of a Hundred” because I may be submitting it to some magazines for publication soon. I apologize for all the vanishing content–lord knows the site needs more. I’ll try to fill the space with some other work–perhaps an article, or a review or two.
One of the magazines I’m submitting to is [...]
