Various things
After sending my DS away last Thursday, I already got it back today: that's an impressive 5 day round trip. Good show Nintendo. I even picked up the new Advance Wars to celebrate, snagging the...
So, for some reason: in the two years I've used Gamespot actively, I've never tracked anyone who was tracking me. I'm not really sure why, it wasn't intentional. It was approaching 50 people, so I...
There are no words. Someone call Satan and tell him there's a blizzard moving in! I genuinely can't think of anything to say about this, but THIS LIST is good for a laugh. I still don't...

Well, I'm bored. That means it's time to do what I frequently do during times of great boredom... make stuff! I admit to being a total and complete Photoshop hack, Flash too. More often than...
I have literally signed my very likeness over to Nintendo. What? "Why the hell would I do that?" Free stuff. I won a contest on the official Nintendo site, scoring myself another DS (I...
They say it's gonna be the next big thing. Something I just sort of came across. It's almost surreal to see it talked about like this. Granted, this video is nearly 15 years old, but...
I haven't checked my e-mail in a few days, and found out that I recieved this: "You will have noticed on the front of the 9Dragons log-in screen that The Persistent Worlds Company Ltd...
Now this is pretty interesting. 1UP has got an article on game design philosophy differences in the US and Japan. The (fairly long) article can be found HERE. Whenever people complain...
