Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired.

It's Not You, It's Me.  Bleh. That pretty much sums up the past couple weeks of my life. Well, actually since about January, but the last two weeks have definitely been exceptionally "Bleh". So I just wanted to touch base wit...

How’s Aboot a 2014 GOaTY List, eh?

It’s aboot der time den bucks. In Canada we don’t believe in spelling out acronyms, so from here on out, I will be pronouncing it as Goaty. I lamented for days about how I was going to write my Goaty blog, as this is the fi...

 
 
 

Happy Festivus!

From closer to the North Pole than any of you suckers. I really shouldn’t write this blog, because I’m only 1/3 way through writing my 2014 blog, but seeing all the Christmas posts today has put me in such a holiday spirit!...

 
 
 

The World Sleeps

And Thus There Is No Work For Me Sitting in my cubicle at work right now, and feeling deathly bored. Coming towards the end of my contract, I’ve done a fairly good job at keeping up with all of my work so I don’t really hav...

 
 
 

Guess Who’s Back, Back Again…

Scholar’s back. Missed his friends. This blog post will sort of be like the soft opening of a new club. You know that the real party is coming soon, but the soft opening prepares you for what to expect, gets you ready for it. Wel...

 
 
 

Play With Me

I swear I had something for this... This past weekend, I had the pleasure of gaming for several hours with a fellow Dtoider, and I have to say, it was one of my best gaming experiences in a while now.  It really makes a difference...

You probably haven't noticed, (although I sure have) but I have been away from the Dtoid community for almost 3 weeks now.  I just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you all that I already miss you more than some ridiculous gami...

 
 
 

One Xbox Fanboy's expedition into PS4.

or: How I Learned to Stop Bitching and Play Everything....   And he was never heard from again. I did it. It may seem hard for a lot of you to believe, especially with all of my vehement arguing for Microsoft and the Xbox One...

 
 
 

Slump Central, CAN. Population: Me.

Haven't really written anything in a while, either here, or on my thesis.  And actually generally speaking, I haven't done too much productive in the last little while either.  I think this may turn into a rant.  Here's me promising no edit...

All About The Scholarly Gamer...

...And probably more you didn't need to know. This guy doesn't look so scholarly. So I plan on becoming some sort of staple around here, or at least someone for all of you to vehemently argue against, so I figured I would give you an insid...

Jeez Louise Nazis!

Just finished playing Wolfenstein: The New Order recently, and was nothing but fully impressed with the game.  It was an amazing revamp of the series, and a great combination of action, stealth, and Nazi-killing goodness.   At no point dur...
