I'll Never Forget November 4, 2007.... for Nick
When I got off work today, I raced to my car and was happy to be on my way home. I decided to call my friend, Nick, from Cincinnati to whom I hadn't spoken in a month or so. His number was...
As some of you know, recently I celebrated (and I use that term loosely) my birthday. One of the gifts I received was a Target giftcard. Well, I went to the store and picked up Zelda: Phantom...
My sister's wedding was today followed by the reception. Everything was nice, beautiful, and expensive, but I hated almost all of it. I'm not much for crowds and such, and I don't take compliments...
...jaw dropping. I haven't reacted that way to a game since a certain scene from a game from 1997. I won't say which one, because I think that might even give too much away. I'll just say that I...
Let me start with this: IMHO, she is a smart woman (on whom I have a bit of a crush :oops: ) who was a teacher and seems to know her stuff. I have enjoyed the Harry Potter movies a good deal,...
Overall, the demo of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was visually impressive. With my new PC setup, I was able to view that beauty in all its widescreen glory. The acting was decent enough,...
Yep, that's right. It was on today's front page. I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm so happy to see this that I had to post about it. Street Fighter is taking over. ;) BTW, if you guys and gals...
My mom called me to wish me a happy birthday. I'm 28 today. The older I get, the more forgetful I become about things like this. I used to wake up on my birthday completely excited. Now,...
What an amazing little game. Even though it's relatively short, the game is incredible. I love when originality pokes in its beautiful head. :) Now, I have to play the advanced levels for my...
The HotSpot this week featured a story about how some churches use Halo games to "lure" kids into playing in order to preach some sort of message about Christianity. I love GameSpot and its...
I'm now working in the newspaper's obituary department. Yes, that means that I write for the section of the paper that lists those souls who've transcended onto a higher plane (hopefully). It's...
This game is so time consuming, and I thought Twilight Princess was long (Zelda took me 57 hours or so). One of the main reasons I love DQ8 so far is that the game brings memories of older...
What a headache some of those temples were. Anyway, I liked the game a bunch, and the ending was (Okay, I'll admit it) nearly tear jerking. Now, I'm moving on to Shadow of the Colossus...
...here you go. These have been around the internets a few times, but for those who haven't seen them yet, you should. These drawings are completely drawn in colored chalk. The people making...
That's right, she did. I went out for a while, and when I came back home, I discovered that she had had her way with a couple of the speaker wires. BAD DOG! :evil: I guess I'm going to have to...

I was completely bored the other day and saw that Gone with the Wind was on TNT. Since I'd never seen the film before, and the American Film Institute rated it somewhere along the lines of the...
I thought I'd treat myself to a good evening. I drove my car down to the local liquor store with the hopes of buying a bottle of Kentucky bourbon. I went into the store and made the purchase. I...
***Potential Spoilers*** Usually, I play games at my friend's place. Both my 360 and my Wii are at his apartment. In case you're wondering why, let me explain. I used to enjoy games a great...
My sister's fiance asked her to marry him. That's mostly well and good I suppose, but a few things bother me. I've been requested to take part as the greeter who asks attendees to sign the...
