You Don't Want To Miss A Thing

Boop!

Similar to the last time I did something this dumb, but no Incredible Bongo Band. The constraints of scrutiny. Probably helps that the game I'm framing with exists this time. Although I guess I basically described what the world would be like if people were heavily engrossed in the F-Zero universe and not Mass Effect.

Happy Thanksgiving, eat the rich!

Rise From Your Grave

Yes! A new thing!

Yeah it borrows thematically from that old "Fun and Games" series (1) (2) (3) (4)  and also "Why Games Shouldn't Want To Be Art" a bit, but it's all fresh and new and there's a funny picture with a baby in it.

No the baby is not particularly funny and it's not doing anything. Sorry.

Okay. Well. Uh... see ya.

My First Public Apology™

If you're reading this, chances are you know what this is about, and greater still you're one of the people I owe an actual apology. Not a tweet, not with any kind of qualifications or explanations or deflections through humor and irony. I did that already, and it was done in self-preservation and cowardice. This is nothing less than a total admission of fault.

The things I said were rude and spiteful, were motivated by nothing and came from nowhere. The words and names I used were secondary to the emotion behind them, which sought only to hurt and was childish in the extreme. I lost contact with several writers for whom I have a great deal of respect and whose writing I enjoy on a regular basis. Whatever infinitesimally small grievances I may have with their work from time to time were far outstripped by my senseless vitriol in a moment of weakness and idiocy.

I am truly and earnestly sorry for my actions, and any ill effects I caused to those I slandered. I am owed no forgiveness, and can only ask for it humbly and ashamed of what I have done.

Thank you.

I Just Want Bang Bang Bang

Yada yada blah blah Medium Difficulty bleep bloop etc.

Remember those late 90's ads for the Marines where the cadet would scale a cliff face freehand then fight a malevolent Norse ghost with jujitsu before being swallowed by light and outfitted in full uniform? Yeah: military FPS games are the recruitment equivalent of that, except way less interesting.

Also Trent Reznor sucks and so did the ARG he made several albums ago. Why they all gotta be promoting something; make another ARG that exists for its own damn sake. I liked that; that was fun.

ARG ARG ARG.

Hawk a Loogie

The drill: you know it. Just some Tony Hawk HD jazz.

At least it's not the worst thing I've read on the subject.
