    So...what games are ya'll playing?

    Just got done with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and it got me all nostalgic for the earlier titles in the series, so I've jumped back to Assassin's Creed II. Figure I'll play the Ezio trilogy again, maybe even hop back to the first game, though III was such a slog for me, I'm not sure I have...

    Are you single or not ?

    Taken, just moved in with my girlfriend of two and a half years, and we're both deliriously happy. For what it's worth, I was single for five years before my current relationship, and my girlfriend had previously "brother-zoned" me, so insert whatever inspirational message you want to take...

    Dr Who Christmas Special 2013

    For those of you complaining about not getting nearly enough Capaldi in this episode, when held up against some other regenerations, he was positively chatty. Regeneration spoilers incoming. Nothing big, but if you're trying to avoid even the most vague details, don't click. Doctors 2-5...

    Lots of fun. At least it's better than Eternity Clock.

    Trailers: Batman: Arkham Origins - E3 2013 Gameplay Trailer

    Honestly, after Arkham City, I was kinda looking forward to a game without the Joker. Don't get me wrong, the little two second clip looks good, but I'd really like to see the series move beyond the Joker, even in a supporting role. That being said, I'm still looking forward to this one more...

    So, will you be participating in "Ceasefire friday"?

    I'll probably take part in his in the same way I took part in the Chick-fil-A boycott. I've never eaten at Chick-fil-A, and I'm not going to let some right wing nut force me or keep me from eating there. I haven't eaten there since his remarks, simply because I refuse to let my behavior be...

    The strangest thing a teacher ever told you about themselves

    I have two, though I never had either teacher. In high school, there was a french teacher at my school who was always a bit off. At the end of one particularly hectic day, the teacher told her last class, which I had a few friends in, "If you don't see me tomorrow, you'll know I've fallen off...

    That Was Disappointing

    The radio station I work for does an annual charity auction to raise money to buy warm winter clothes for local children who need it. We rely on our listeners and local businesses to donate items for us to auction off on the air. In order to fill all 30 hours of the live auction, we need between...

    Games you should really enjoy, but don't.

    Uncharted 3 The first game was pretty good, the second was friggin amazing, but the third one...I just...I dunno... Parts of it felt really cheap, and the story really bothered me for some reason I don't remember. I seem to remember the controls or combat or something bothering me a lot...

    Thanksgiving Assassin's Creed III Patch Promises Lots of Fixes

    I had a hard time with that chase until, instead of plowing through the part where the guards block your path as you come out of the alley, I took a left, then my first right. Ran right into him as I came around the corner. Just a tip. Who knows, I may have just gotten lucky.

    Rare stuff you own

    I have a script from the Firefly episode "Bushwhacked" signed by all nine crew members. It is...precious to me. Other than that, I imagine I have some baseball cards that are at least fairly uncommon. I haven't looked at them in more than ten years, but I know I had a couple cards worth some...

    Games you've been meaning to finish.

    I'm usually pretty good at finishing games, but I haven't been able to build up the motivation to get very far into Dragon Age 2. I really would like to finish it, since I enjoyed the first one so much, but the first hour or so was completely underwhelming. Other than that, nothing springs to mind.

    Fans of early 90s Grunge, I need your help!

    I'm getting ready to start a roleplaying game taking place in the early 90s, and I've decided to make a character influenced by the early 90s grunge scene, hailing from the Seattle area. The only problem is, beyond Nirvana, I don't really know much in the way of early 90s grunge. So...

    Worst Big-Budget Movie

    At a budget of $140 million, I'd have to say Batman and Robin deserves a mention. I'm surprised we went 3 pages without it getting one.
