One more chance for BioWare

OK, everyone knows now that Mass Effect 3′s ending (or lack thereof, really) let me down so badly that I actually cried. Yes, I shed real tears like a big baby. I couldn’t help it. Having devoted more than 400 hours of my life to this series of gamovies (game+movie, get it?) I was devastated [...]

Mass Prison Effect Break

**SPOILER ALERT** (not really but kinda) I watched this series after I watched the whole series of 24 in two weeks. I have to say this show really was a great show, and I liked it a lot. I thought it was, in it’s own way, nearly as good as 24, and that’s saying a [...]

Mustard…? Really? (a.k.a. “The Secret Life of an American Condiment”)

I suffer from chronic heartburn. Whether this is because of un-diagnosed acid reflux or some other reason, I don’t know. What I do know is that I can’t eat most of my favorite foods without a flare up that feels like trying to swallow a bubble of liquid hot magma. So, with the economy being [...]

Absolutely Betrayed

I cannot believe what I have just witnessed. Since their first game in the Mass Effect series I have been a loyal and devout fan of Bioware. I loved Dragon Age as well, even though the sequel really doesn’t have anything to do with the first one. But this… This disappointing and worthless TRAVESTY of an [...]

Absolutely Liars

Look at this: The picture shows a website that I happened to stumble across while I was doing something else. That’s how these things always seem to happen. At first, of course, I was enticed into looking at the site because of the advertisement/link that said, and I quote: “…I discovered a web site that [...]

Bridesmaids – What Did I Do To Deserve This?

It’s ridiculous. There has to be a conspiracy involved here somewhere. I refuse to believe even for a moment that anyone actually enjoyed Bridesmaids.

December 27, 2011 Dear self, The holidays are a great example of the divine paradox. For some of us, it’s a time of joy, celebration, goodwill, brotherhood, and all that snappy jazz. For others, it’s a struggle to stay sane, happy, employed, married, healthy, etc. etc. Of course there are people who probably have a [...]

You Can Fly – Believe It

Someone once said that the secret to un-aided flight is to simply throw yourself at the ground, and miss. Sadly, the ground is so big and looms so large in our reality that the only way to miss it is to be so very distracted just at the moment before impact that you forget that [...]

PayPal Not Acceptable

PayPal advertises itself as the best way to pay for things online. This could not be further from the truth, but it’s what they would have us believe.
