Business As Usual

< ![CDATA[Some writing and rationing out of season 4, part 1, of Ghost Hunters.  I honestly don’t know what we’re going to do when we’ve exhausted all these episodes, the withdrawal is going to be painful.

GTA In The GTA
This is how dumb I am. It was only a couple of days ago, that I noticed this huge freakin’ thing was hanging off one of the buildings in the neighborhood. As you might expect, there are a lot of jokes flying around about Grand Theft Auto appearing in the [...]

Horror Drought About To End
On the Japanese Playstation Store, Sony put up a demo for a game hitting Japan in July, which is doubtless bound for an English translation. It’s called Siren: New Translation and is actually a PS3 remake of a horror game released on the PS2 back in 2003. Like [...]

More Old Friends
Met up with another old friend from university today who was visiting from Edmonton, henceforth referred to as the Free Spirit for her oh so bohemian ways and lifestyle. Haven’t not laid eyes on the girl since like… oh… 1998, it was bizarre to see that when I met her and she [...]
