To quote Staind, the only band I want to play at my wedding and my funeral, “It’s been a while." This started out as a regular Occam Thoughts and then I wrote a bunch of words about Dragon’s Dogma. So I guess I’m just going to talk about ...

So Bbain wrote this really badass post talking about 10 things we didn’t know about him. Apparently this was a thing on the blogs many moons ago. It was warm and heartfelt and overall let us get a glimpse of who he is and his life. So in...

When did kiddy pools not become a thing anymore? I used to love those when I was young. Then as I entered college they became associated with drinking and tomfoolery. Though I think the idea of sitting in a kiddy pool now in a yard watc...

Hello everyone. How are you? How's the weather where you are? Its cold here. I'm wearing a robe currently and sipping a Bud Light Lime. I feel like a metrosexual Nescafe commercial. A while back community member Randombullseye posted ...

I feel like I need to warn you. NeverDead was recently released for consoles and it’s bad. Very bad. I’m talking changing uncle Pete’s diaper bad. I Gamefly’d it hoping for a fun if somewhat silly action game where I shot and chopped ...

Dear recapper: I understand if you fail this. You do what you must just I have done what I felt I needed to do. To Montgomery Albatross Ayn Randy Gimme a Handy Dixon: You are our friend. You are our compatriot. You are an asset...

Hello all. How have you been? I’ve been busy. Not that good kind of “THE SWORD IS ALMOST COMPLETE” kind of busy but that “I need that report by tomorrow morning” kind of busy. Oh well, that’s what happens sometimes when you grow up. So...

Hello. It’s been a while. Aside: You know every time I hear that phrase I think of that Staind song. I guess God really is in the details. Anywho, I played some games, bought an arm, and rearranged my shelves. I have pictures. Would y...

Oh my. Summer moves forward with a creeping warmth like the sound of leather moving across skin as your uncle unbuckles his belt. Have I mentioned how much I hate the Summer? It’s so hot. Speaking of hot, our beloved fluffer et all Mars...

-May already? Jesus, time flies. That’s good. Looking forward to August and PAX and the first vacation I have had in many moons. Plus the Summer here in Louisiana is not unlike the crotch of morbidly obese man resting comfortably in a T...

Well look at me trying to Monthly Muse it up. My P2…..hmmmm. I’ve had a few. Having played video games most of my life, I have found that the people I gamed with was just as important in creating a lasting memory than the game itself. W...

Why is it that shorter weeks at work always feel longer? I hate that feeling. Another week here in the waking world, another edition of Occam Thoughts. So Mardi Gras happened here or as I like to call it, Low Tide: Renegade Edition. ...

Haggar After all this time. The moustache. The belt strap in place of a shirt. The khakis. Mike Haggar is my biological father and he will be playable in Marvel vs Capcom 3. To the recapper: I fully understand and accept t...

Well according to my clock, we are nearly three and a half hours into 2011. One year left until 2012. You know what happens in 2012, right? Bad stuff. I am tipsy but not nearly intoxicated enough for my liking. No more beer. Switch...

It is time to get a new tattoo. So the quest has begun to find a new tattoo shop. See, when I first decided to get a tattoo, I searched high and low for a shop where I felt comfortable enough to let someone jam a gun filled with needles i...

Hello gentle reader. How have you been? It’s been a while. Aside: Every time someone says that to me I immediately hear the Staind song of the same title in my head. THANKS TEENAGE ME! Since last I dumped my thoughts here on my blog...

Halo: Reach has arrived. Thus far, I have beaten the campaign solo on heroic and spent more than a few hours playing multiplayer matches with the 360 FNF crew. Here are some of my thoughts. -The campaign was about what I expected. The s...

The sky has darkened. The air tastes heavy, like mercury fire burning your throat. There is a sound like great sheets of skin being torn echoing in your ears. Is it the end of times? The beginning of something beautiful? No gentle rea...

Hello gentle reader. How are you today? Well I hope. I live in Louisiana where it’s in the upper 90’s with a heat index of over 100 degrees. Now let’s see….am I a lizard? Hmmm….no, I have people hands and a cardigan so I must be a pers...

Hello. How is everyone today? Doing well I hope. It’s Wednesday here in the waking world, a day filled with mediocrity, paperwork, and a honey oat bar for lunch. So I figure, in honor of what I can only describe as the beige-ist of beig...

-Playing Alan Wake. Near the end. It would be a lot scarier if the game didn’t do a slow motion cut scene every time a shadow zombie showed up. Also, I watched a Verizon Wireless commercial in the game. This scared me more than the dark...

Oh my. What a week. E3 happened. I'm moving into a new place. It's August-level weather in June in Louisiana and I'm sweating and exhausted. I have to say I was kind of disappointed with the c-blogs this week. There were some damn f...

SO. Apparently hiding a C-blog and then working on it the next day then posting it will have it appear in yesterday's timeline. I knew this, somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind but still I foolishly went ahead and posted it, thinking...

Well, mrandydixon's list inspired me to make my own. So here are some lists of video game related things that I like. I hope you like them too. Also, in an effort to break up the text, I have included some pictures intermittently placed ...

As much as I love video games I have another passion. That passion is Lifetime Original movies. Since I can't read, movies are the main way I gain knowledge. In that spirit, I humbly present to you video games and the Lifetime Original m...

Well Summer is slowly approaching here in Louisiana and that means temperatures will reach ninety with 100% humidity soon. Some people like the heat here. Those people are sleestacks wearing people skin. They'd have to be to enjoy the se...

-In an alternate world, Robin Williams is my dad and Bea Arthur was my grandmother. Thanksgiving would be badass. -I recently re-activated my Steam account after years of inactivity. Nice new coat of paint on this here barn. I might have...

Joachim Valentine If I had to pick any character from the Shadow Hearts series to be my favorite it would have to be Joachim. He’s a vampire wrestler dandy who, at one point in the game, uses a scale model of the Nautilus submarine as a...

People who replace the “s” in Microsoft and Sony with a dollar sign or call Gamestop "Game (anything other than stop)". Want your opinion to be taken seriously? Don’t do this. It’s lame and does nothing but let everyone know that you...

So....apparently Axis: Bold as Love by The Jimi Hendrix Experience is coming to Rock Band. And there may be a Hendrix Rock Band in the works. And the other albums are going to be released as DLC. Oh dear. Between this and the X tracks ...
