What, Me Worry?
Ah, the infamous Mad Magazine and their infamous mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, with his infamous credo. These days, it seems particularly relevant to me because I’d always interpreted that particular slogan as cautionary advice about stupidity. Specifically, the stupidity to be calm when one should clearly be bouncing off the ceiling [...]
No Footprints On The Sand
The reason for that being the girlfriend and I were feeling slightly cabin feverish, and so went out for a walk on the beach just in time to catch the sunrise. Naturally, we intepreted it in two radically different ways. She was just happy that it was the two [...]
Bah.
The Lucia Scenario in Devil May Cry is already beaten. Shorter and easier than Dante’s Scenario, but it did unlock more costumes. I think there’s too much media crossover happening. Imagine my surprise when I read the credits and realized that the clothes were designed by none other than Diesel?!? Then [...]
Novels: Out. Geek Source Material: INNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
After a brief visit to Apple Movie Trailers, I was rather stunned when I realized that 2003 seems to be the Year Of The Geek. We’ve already had one comic movie in the form of Daredevil, with The Hulk and X-Men 2 on the way, TWO [...]
Ho Hum…
Another quiet lull. I always seem to have more fun when I have nothing to talk about. Finished the “Dante Scenario” of Devil May Cry 2. The game is, largely, a disappointment. While the graphics are undeniably an improvement over DMC 1, I take serious issue with the dumbed down [...]

Now Is The Time For Quick And Immediate Response
To possible latent homophobic tendencies. Or something.
A day or so ago, I read a blog by the boyfriend of a friend of mine, who, not just a few hours earlier, we had seen at his place of work while having coffee. Said boyfriend of friend [...]
DOA Extreme Slut Wrestling
Having been suddenly denied my chance to play the Beach Volleyball game, my mind, after a few curious questions from the girlfriend, turned towards other topics that might also be suitable for one-handed videogame playing goodness. The most obvious one was wrestling; combining the ludicrously revealing aesthetic of bikinis and upping [...]
Oogh
Last night I made the girlfriend cry. It was not for a good reason, and it wasn’t even for a bad reason, it’s just one of those things that seems to evolve naturally from a seemingly innocent point of conversation and suddenly starts opening up doors in the heart that should stay closed until [...]
Alas
Bouncing virtual breasts did not, repeat not happen. Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, (I’m assuming a very important dinner for the family, one that it would have been in extremely poor taste to bail out from) the deliverer of the X-Box and its breasty polygonal miracle wasn’t able to get away until roughly [...]
