Courtesy American Superman of DeviantArt Okay, I’m very behind on things this week. The dayjob has been a little bit intense, and a free copy of Mass Effect 3 showed up at my door thanks to the generosity of an Escapist user running a contest. I’m flattered & honored that my review of Deus Ex:… Continue reading Interruptions & Invasions

DLC: Decidedly Lavish Crap
Behold, Whovians. My USB hub involves Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. I can connect to SO many devices. Some of them aren’t even of human manufacture! Muahahaha… …okay, it’s a silly USB hub shaped like a TARDIS. I don’t need it. But it makes my life easier and it’s really cool-looking, in my humble… Continue reading DLC: Decidedly Lavish Crap
Up And Coming
Thought I’d change it up from the usual anonymous pen. I’ve mentioned that I, like many writers, have difficulty focusing at times. I know that, in spite of the time occupied by the dayjob, writing must happen. I’ve been ramping up because of several projects I want to complete in the very near future and… Continue reading Up And Coming
Let Go Of Your Hate
Star Wars, as a franchise, is just a bit older than I am. I’ve gone through phases where I’ve loved it dearly and loathed its existence. I’ve appreciated the ability George Lucas had to conceptualize a universe that felt lived in and diverse, and palmed my face at the utterly stupid things he made come… Continue reading Let Go Of Your Hate
Master of None
Remember when the Bard class was included with the basic ruleset for Dungeons & Dragons? Those were the days. When you wanted to be pretty good at just about everything without over-specializing in beating up bad guys or attacking the darkness with magic missile, you chose the Bard. The downside to that choice is why… Continue reading Master of None
An Open Letter to C. Matthew, Re: The Departed
Dear Confused Matthew, With all due respect, sir, I disagree. I was under the impression I’d said all that was necessary about Martin Scorsese’s The Departed in my own review of the film. However, your recent embarkation upon an anti-Departed tirade has inspired me to go a little more in depth on the film. I… Continue reading An Open Letter to C. Matthew, Re: The Departed
Fedora Felon
You are not, nor will you ever be, Don Draper. Stop it. Guys, listen. It’s time we talked. Before there’s any misunderstandings, I must confess: I love my fedora. I’m on my second one since discovering I can look half-decent in one. My first traveled to all sorts of places on my head, across oceans… Continue reading Fedora Felon
After the Blackout: Now What?
I am not a pundit. I don’t get a lot of hits here. I’m not a celebrity or a pro gamer or even all that well-known. I’m just a guy who loves the Internet. I know that the society can get pretty disparate and broken at times, with dark little corners full of all kinds… Continue reading After the Blackout: Now What?

Anybody Seen My Motivation?
About a year and a half ago I wrote up a post that differentiated between writer’s block and a dry spell. The former’s defined by a lack of ideas, the latter by outside influences draining the writer’s energy and free time. I’d chalk up my current mental state to a dry spell if it weren’t… Continue reading Anybody Seen My Motivation?
