NationStates

January 2nd, 2008 @ 4:52 pm

If there is ever need for any proof that I really should not be put in charge of a body politic, then the silly little NationStates game may be it.

Bioshock Impressions

January 1st, 2008 @ 11:43 pm

I just spent a few hours with Bioshock tonight and it is amazing. Truly a fun, creepy, stylish game that looks like it is going to be a thrill to play. I have to admit, I really put playing this game off for too long. I have to imagine that nothing I can say about the game hasn’t already been said elsewhere by someone else. But I am not going to let that stop me from talking about it anyways.

Last Post of 2007

December 31st, 2007 @ 11:20 pm

With two hours left to go this year, I imagine this’ll be the last post I’ll get around to making in 2007. What a terribly uneventful year this was.

Mass Effect Review

November 25th, 2007 @ 10:35 pm

If you are reading this review, and you own a Xbox 360, and you don’t have a copy of Mass Effect yet then you are either: (a) an idiot, or (b) an idiot who choose a really crappy shipping option, or (c) amazingly patient and desperately hoping for a copy at Christmas.

November 12th, 2007 @ 3:14 pm

Beware of flying pigs, an anime-license game has arrived that doesn’t suck*! Even more surprising, it is a Naruto game for the Xbox 360.

Blargh

June 23rd, 2007 @ 11:31 am

Well, this time last week I wanted to have the new skin / theme / style up on this website. Obviously, it hasn’t happened yet. Why does it always seem that my work projects take less time then I expect they will (and thus meaning few billable hours for me) and my personal projects take far far far far longer to complete (assuming I don’t forget about them, get distracted by shiny things, or loose interest all togethor).

Halfway There

June 13th, 2007 @ 7:08 pm

So I got the easy part of my site update done, moving the site to Wordpress 2.2. Or I thought it was going to be the easy part.

Finally a good use for Twitter

June 12th, 2007 @ 5:40 pm

So I was checking out the weekly updates for Girl Genius (an absolutely wonderful web-comic which you really should be reading) when I noticed they had something new linked on their site. Othar’s Twitter, finally a good use for that rather silly and self-important web toy.

Babylon 5 : The Lost Tales

June 12th, 2007 @ 1:17 am

After way too many years, a new Babylon 5 movie is coming out on DVD at the end of July. The movie, titled ‘The Lost Tales’ apparently takes place some 10 years after the end of the series (or the end of Season 4 at least) and is about Sheridan taking a trip back to Babylon 5 for a diplomatic conference of some sort.

This week at Hythia

June 11th, 2007 @ 12:54 pm

Coming this week, assuming Reality doesn’t conspire with Fate to stop me, there should be the return of my old CoH/CoV Guide to the site (possibly with updates, we’ll see on that). As well, I hope to get the start of my Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance guides up as well.

Also, going to be re-skinning the site and changing the layout a little so if you come to look at the site and it appears to be broken it is likely all my fault and should be fixed soon after that.
