General Writings

 

I like to write!

No, seriously, I like to write. It's a passion of mine. Mostly because it's a way of expressing words without necessarily having to pronounce them verbally, meaning I can create idiotically long run-on sentences with as many discombobulating words as I darn well want in a grandiose way of conveying an opinion or story.

It's also because I like to tell people about things. Mostly video games and how a lot of them aren't very good.

MEDIA LOVE

Dedicated sections of respect to games and other media, usually with more attention to detail than a regular ol' page.

I'm a little bit crazy about the franchise, it's only a wonder it took this long to get around to it.

Awesome game. Hard to adequately make a walkthrough of without just saying "shoot the bad guys," though.

September 2007

 

 

ODDITIES + OBSERVATIONS

Not exactly an accurate title; this covers anything and everything, really. Mostly attempts to be vaguely humourous in the slightest degree.
