Bit of advice: when trying to figure out what to wear to one of the biggest geekfests in the world, don’t just use Google images as your resource. One word: Cosplay. I do this every time I have a socially intimidating function to attend. It’s kind of like the first day of school but times… Continue reading What To Wear To E3 That Isn’t Cosplay Related
The Playstation Network is still down and the most recent status update happened on the 10th. DON’T THESE PEOPLE KNOW I NEED TO DOWNLOAD DEMOS SO I CAN BE CHEAP AND NOT BUY NEW GAMES?! Times are getting desperate around here and new game blood is needed or someone might get hurt. Anyway. Never one… Continue reading PSN STILL Down But We Have New Playstation Home Screens. Yay?
A couple of months ago–I think but I couldn’t find the link so just trust me on this?–I posted a video of this cat talking and asking for treats and I’m slightly ashamed of myself for enjoying the video as much as I did. I’m pretty sure I’m very much ashamed that I’m posting yet… Continue reading Ultimate Dog Tease

The announcement trailer I posted a couple of months back should have given me a freakin’ huge hint that Shadows of the Damned /Damned isn’t going to be a pretty skip through a pretty, pretty rainbow field. Now that I think about it, I suppose my first hint should have been the title, huh? Moving on. The… Continue reading Shadows of the Damned Developer Video and Seven New Images
