The First Halloween
The Wife made this. She’s done Halloween pictures before, but this was the first time she actually got a chance to do one in a country where it was legitimately celebrated. In Singapore, Halloween is usually just hunting/drinking season. The foreigners use it as an excuse to get hammered, and the [...]
Another Low Grade Work Day
Finished up a comic script, started on another article for GameAxis. That’s about it…
One Of Those Quiet Days
Not much happening except the completion of an article, start of a small script for a short comic strip, and some hope for the Blu-Ray format that Warner Brothers might defect, which, if it were to occur, would pretty much end the format war. Oh and Guitar Hero III is [...]
The Petty Fanboy Post
I admit it. I know I shouldn’t be enjoying this or taking any satisfaction from it, but I am. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is proving to be not as polished an affair as previous versions. There’s a little voice in my head that is gleefully whooping [...]

More Rock Band Obsessiveness

Random Rock Band Stuff
For people that have played the previous Guitar Hero games and know the synth group Freezepop, here’s a surprise. They did a cover of the theme song from Jem. You really don’t need to read anymore. And yes, they will be appearing in Rock Band again.
Wednesday With Turtles
Aside from a bit of the usual walk around the neighborhood to do some shopping I got this in the mail. I’d been extremely curious about it ever since I saw the trailer, and a lucky day on eBay with seemingly no one interested in the Blu Ray netted me the disc [...]
Day O’ Oriental Prints
We’re actually getting pretty good at this Waking Up Before Sunset stuff now. But then today was particularly important for the Wife in that there was a gallery she really, REALLY wanted to visit, and they closed at 6:00 pm. The place is called, simply, Stuart Jackson Gallery, and is [...]
