The Somewhat Ambitious

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooa.
New Monkey Island game bitches. Shit, if I was writing the press release, I think that’s all I’d say. But, seriously, whoa. This is Monkey Island we’re talking about. This game was the cornerstone of my comedic and video game appreciation from the time that I was five. And although the franchise stumbled a little [...]

So. You’re chillin’ around, say, Ironforge.*
Stay with me.
You’ve just been killing Murlocs by the fucking DOZEN. I mean, forget Normandy. You were buzzing those gurgling bitches like the crop duster from North by Northwest. So you’ve just repaired your gear, and you think hey. Maybe I’ll treat myself, go get some ribs at the Inn, [...]

What ho! Be that an Orcish outpost you see before you? Nay, it cannot be. The Orcs have no mastery of balsa wood. Or high-grade electronics. Obvious give aways really. What it is, then, is the Wow Pod, a stroke of genius/insanity/just a stroke from a group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (it’s never [...]

I have a part-time day job, which I fucking despise. And if Luke were to have an action figure released of himself, complete with kung-fu grip and a button which emitted his three most uttered phrases, those top three phrases would be:

2: (Something really, really [...]

Many apologies for such a long silence, but it’s been a very busy easter weekend. I trust you all had a good one, and didn’t succumb to a diabetic coma on account of all the eggs.
Today is patch day! For those of you who don’t play or don’t know anything about World of Warcraft (which [...]

Yes, it’s over. I can’t really afford the subscription, and I need to focus on radio/blogging more. Besides which, druids have been getting nerf after nerf, and I can’t let Lungbarrow take any more hits. It has been… fun.

UPDATE: This was, obviously, an April fools. What I love about you guys is that 90% of [...]

While I’m normally an uncritical devotee of all the many cultural permutations being thrown up by the internet, I have to ask: who loves The Smashing Pumpkins and the 8-bit Super Mario trilogy with such identical, passionate intensity that they feel the only way to adequately express their adoration is by creating a set of [...]
