The setup in the home office of Beardy McWriterbeard This is something that’s been in the back of my mind for some time now. You can blame three people for it spilling over into my blog. Or you can just blame me for having nothing interesting to say at the moment that I feel you’ve… Continue reading Okay, Okay. iSurrender. iGive.

Choose Wisely
Dichotomies of personality are fascinating to me. Studying Jungian psychological theory and philosophy could eat up a great deal of my time and probably make my reviews of films like Dark City, Inception and even The Dark Knight more interesting. But I tend to be a lazy slacker, while wanting to do things that require… Continue reading Choose Wisely
Mmm, smells like sunburn.
So… yeah. Just a reminder, kids. If you’re going to expose yourself to the daystar for an extended period of time, especially if you’re near a body of water – like, say, the Delaware River for example – put some sunscreen on. You’re in for a world of pain otherwise. World of pain.
Living by the Creed
I know what you’re thinking. “Oh, crap! He’s finally snapped! He’s going to get himself a white hoodie and start jumping on random people so he can stab them in the neck with a #2 pencil to to make sure people get the irony!” First of all, no. Neither Altaiir nor Ezio jumped on ‘random’… Continue reading Living by the Creed
To The Eggs I've Broken *MOVED*
NOTE: This unfortunate moment of personal drivel has been moved to a more appropriate place. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Esprit de Corps
I was raised playing games like Chess, Battleship, Squad Leader, Risk and War of the Ring. I still love playing tabletop strategy games with my dad. It keeps my mind sharp, it’s quality time with a parent, and a great opportunity to talk smack at someone I deeply love and respect. Especially when a Xanatos… Continue reading Esprit de Corps
Chivalry: Taking It Back
“You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.” Along with some support for the ideas I put forth in yesterday’s post, there are some that spoke up saying I’m just pushing my male ideas onto women, that chivalry is dead and it should stay that way because it’s… Continue reading Chivalry: Taking It Back
Regarding Feedback & Encouragement
“The Enrichment Center promises to always provide safe testing environments. In dangerous testing environments, the Enrichment Center promises to always provide useful advice. For instance, the floor here will kill you. Try to avoid it.” This is GLaDOS’ way of providing feedback & encouragement. Needless to say, there are some moments in Portal at which… Continue reading Regarding Feedback & Encouragement
Electronic Memory Space-Lane
Here’s a little tidbit for you young’uns who might be tuning into this little blog o’ mine. Did you know that there were online games before the Internet existed? When I was a lad (old man joke, oh crumbs there goes the hip, we’re walking, we’re walking) there were these little dial-up places called Bulletin… Continue reading Electronic Memory Space-Lane
Rigmarole – It's Actually A Word!
The rigmarole to which I’m referring is getting taxes filed. Normally, I’m the kind of guy to file using the Interweb. However, this past year was different because I got myself hitched. Since the (un)fortunate woman who’s become my bride isn’t from this country, there are quite a few hoops that need to be jumped… Continue reading Rigmarole – It's Actually A Word!
