Today I want to talk about the day I learned humility as a gamer. The year was 1999 and I was a chubby 17-year-old who had a summer job at a local arcade in a mall. This was a good time to work at an arcade. Xbox Live and had yet to come...

Trudging through Monday. Here's some thoughts: Beat God of War III last night. Was about what I expected. The gory bits were great. The puzzle bits annoyed the shit out of me. The boss fights were really fun, if frustrating at times. ...

In the waking world, I am a very quiet guy. I've was a quiet kid most my life and grew into a quiet adult. I wear headphones all the time, tend to have a perma-scowl on my face and go from point A to point B without engaging most of huma...

I know nothing of Pokemon and it's Friday and I'm ready to go home so: I REGRET NOTHING!

I love to day dream. I excel at it. It’s how I got through 3rd, 7th, 10th grade and being 20. One of my favorite day dreams is creating my ultimate musical super group. Another is beating up a life-size version of my grandfather made up...

Cover songs are a strange beast. Both adored and reviled with equal fervor, cover songs wield the double-edged sword of potential. You average local rock band that plays at your average local bar swears by them. I personally have seen lin...

Fraggle Rock was an award-winning and beloved children's tv show that ran from 1983 to 1987. Through misadventures, songs, and life lessons, the Fraggles taught a generation of children how to live, love, and laugh. After the show was can...

Turns out that stomach ache I had on Monday was actually the gentle nudging of food poisoning. In honor of what I can only describe as a week........filled with new experiences, here's some pictures: Monday 3pm Monday 8pm Tuesda...

Monday funday here in the waking world and I am at work. However, since it's Mardi Gras around these parts no one is here. Couple that with the fact that I woke up with a stomach ache that makes me sympathize with Kurt Cobain and I am not...

I can't seem to wake up today. Nor can I construct a thoughtful narrative. So here are some of the thoughts floating through my head on this Monday. -The super bowl happened last night. I live in Louisiana. I still don’t know what ...

I recently finished up Dragon Age: Origins and wanted to talk about it for just a bit. I’m not going to review it as that’s been done by people much better at expressing themselves than me. However, two things stuck with me about the game...

So I work for an art gallery located on a college campus and I was asked to include some ideas for a summer exhibit. The college gets a lot of youth groups during the Summer so the exhibit should be geared more towards that crowd. My sugg...

A million years ago when God rested and the earth was cooling, I worked at an arcade (in a mall no less!). I did two things at the arcade besides actual work: I played Marvel vs. Capcom and I played the claw machine. Marvel vs. Capcom wa...

It's unseasonably cold here in the South. My nice wool coat made me want to post a blog. So here are some more songs and bands that make me happy. There's no particular theme here. Just me and my nice wool coat sharing with the three of...

Video Game Music Video game music got me through undergrad and graduate school when mid-terms and finals came around. I wrote too many papers to the Final Fantasy soundtracks and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out soundtrack (all 15 minutes of it) on...

What attracted me to punk music way back when is that it was angry, but had a focus. It has a point and, perhaps more importantly, a message. I was able to enjoy the energy of the music but also hear and appreciate the message. To call ...

So I noticed that my first music post featured bands or musicians that were all guys. Well I figure for this post I'd look at the women of music that make me happy. So here it goes: 1) Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit This is a bad ass...

Reading the editor music posts made me want to post my own so here goes. Jimi Hendrix - Hear My Train A Comin' Jimi Hendrix has been a part of my life since I was old enough to listen to music. When I was younger I liked the strange ...

28 times. 28 screaming, teeth gnashing times I have died on the first level of Demon's Souls. I have chain-smoked, binge drank and even started to put it up on ebay because of my rage at this damn game. However, through all the blind rag...

Beat Brutal Legend last night. I had originally pre-ordered it but after reading a few reviews and seeing just how much the RTS element was used in the single player part of the game, I decided to rent it instead. After going through it I...

Creed is first. They are like the Chili's of music. -Now, that being said, I drew some art in MS paint and wanted to put it up on the interweb for all of you to see (and mock). Because really, what better way to express yourself artist...

Hello. Let's see here....some video game thoughts: -I don't play games online because if I want to get called faggot by a teenager, I'll call my nephew and try talking to him about music. -Trying to convince people that video game mu...
