On the left side of the sanity bell curve
I am a writer. I am a wife. I am a mom. I am a gamer. I am riddled with ADD. Order changes daily.
One of the games everyone seems to be talking about right now is Portal 2. If you bought The Orange Box back in ’07 then I’m sure you remember the first Portal. The game was innovative in that there hadn’t really been anything like it before and it was short so of course it was… Continue reading Zero Punctuation Portal 2 Review
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
Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis. It feels like we’ve had more than our share of natural disasters recently, doesn’t it? Whether the disaster occurs in your hometown or in a country on the other side of the globe, parents ask the same question: how do I talk to my young kids about these devastating events? One… Continue reading Talking With Your Kids About Natural Disasters
We evacuated to Arkansas to my mom’s house so we’d have power. When we got there, Arkansas was flooded. Not Mom’s house but about half the town Tucker’s from is/was flooded. At least we know the weather wasn’t our fault since the floods happened before we got there. This is us going over the Mississippi… Continue reading Videos of Us Driving Back From Arkansas
Growing up in Arkansas, I’ve been through my fair share of tornado warning and spent my time in my grandma’s storm cellar and in tubs. What happened on Wednesday was unlike anything I’ve ever been through. In fact, it was unlike anything anyone had been through in North Alabama. I don’t know the exact time… Continue reading We’re Evacuees Because of the Alabama Tornadoes
Since I’m heading to L.A. in just over a month for E3, I needed business cards. I still have some minicards floating around from 2007 but they all have b5media on them and since b5 canned all of their staff writers–myself included, I’m not in the mood to give them real estate on my business… Continue reading My Business Cards Don’t Suck!
One of the problems with staying at home with Cara and Ollie is I know how they act but I don’t know how “normal” kids act. And by “normal,” I don’t mean my kids are abnormal–though they are pretty weird which is Tucker’s fault–but I don’t know if some of their interesting quirks are things all… Continue reading Cara’s Pretty Problem
I said yesterday I’d give you the recipe for the Easter Egg Bread I made so here ya go. I’ve had this recipe kicking around for a while but I already had a braided bread that I make a lot so I figured I didn’t need another one. I was so wrong. Trust me. Yum.… Continue reading Braided Easter Egg Bread Recipe
The Easter Bunny grabbed me up and spirited me away to his burrow in Candy Land and he kept calling me Alice which freaked me out a bit but anyway, THAT’S where I’ve been. And now I have very odd mental images floating around in my head. Wonderful. And by “wonderful,” clearing I mean “damn.”… Continue reading Kidnapped By the Easter Bunny and Easter Egg Bread
Remember way back when when I wrote about KmartGamer taking three very lucky bloggers to E3 with them and how it would be all paid for and stuff and HOLY FREAKING COW! At least that’s how it was to me in my head–consider yourself lucky you don’t have to be in there all the time. As… Continue reading I’m Going To E3 Cause I’m a Winner
A while back, I wrote that one thing about wanting Kmart to take me to E3 with them and included Silent Hill: Downpour in the list of games I want to get a good look at. They’re pretty cool and dark and spooky and they give me the creeps which probably means I’ll play a… Continue reading Konami’s Silent Hill: Downpour Screens
Fallout 3 was one of those games I got sucked into and just couldn’t quit. It’s a game that has all the things a girl could want: post-apocalyptic settings, ghouls, Super Mutants and V.A.T.S. And then there’s New Vegas–which I haven’t played because the damn thing was $60 and we had to buy diapers or something.… Continue reading Fallout: Nuka Cola Fan Film
