I spent some time in my old game code tonight, hunting down bugs in established code rather than learning how to make bugs of a whole new variety. It was a bit disheartening. At the core, I still believe in my game. I think it is a lot of fun to play and will...

Took this evening to build a new Magic deck. It’s been about a month since I last played, but there should a big game on Friday night. This time I went with a bit of a theme: Meddling in the affairs of wizards… or something like that. All creatures are wizards, clerics, or shamans....

Not 100% sure on this, but I think that I may be in the SC2 Mac Beta when it starts up later this month. I logged into my Battle.net account today to make sure that my CD keys for Diablo 2 were posted there (in preparation for disposing of my old, scratched discs) and...

The in-game stats tell me I am about 20% of the way through Dragon Age, and I have spent almost 30 hours getting there. On the plus side, I am loving this game. Absolutely the best RPG I have played since Knights of the Old Republic. (That said, I don’t play much, so maybe...

Another simple day. These break days are exactly sort of relaxing both of us have needed. Today I mainly read and played Dragon Age. I am mostly through the Broken Circle quest line… I think. Once I got trapped in the Fade timelines became rather confusing. Not that I am in any hurry. The...

Nooooooooooooo…… The timer tells me that 10 hours have elapsed. How is it possible that I have done this to myself. Just think what I could have done with those 10 hours!!! Bruce Willis would have massacred multiple commando units. Jack Bauer would have saved America about 5 times. Neil Gaiman would have written...

So we finally have both of our cars back and in working order. This is after little blue spent a week in the shop getting a new bumper and turn signal… The problem is that I am sitting on the sofa watching my wife play GTA 4. In the last 10 minutes she has...

Why the hell am I doing this to myself? It’s not like anyone expects a Uwe Boll movie to be any good. I’ve seen several (again, why?) and not a one of them has been at all good. But he’s made another one, and I want something strange to write about tonight, so here...

If last evening was spent finishing Seeker, this evening was spent delving deeper into Mass Effect. After several evenings playing I have come to the conclusion that this is one of those games where I just need to settle in for the long haul. There is just enough action to keep things moving, but...

WOW. Just, WOW. That’s about all I can think as I gaze upon the pictures of a Big Daddy (from Bioshock) costume that Harrison Krix of Atlanta, Georgia built. Take a look at this picture: Lovely advertisement from when Bioshock came out, eh? Perhaps something from the European ad campaign that you never saw...
