Two things:You may have noticed that there is now a music playlist on the right-hand side of the site. It features a good deal of the music I like and currently listen to. Feel free to pause it if you want, but it really is good music for the most part.

While I'm sure you five or six people that keep up with my blog are voraciously awaiting my next post, I'm afraid that I simply won't have the time to post anything until probably around the 23rd.

While I was in college, I didn't really have to deal with bugs. Oh, sure, we had ants, but they're not really a big deal; just clean up after yourself and they'll realize that your dorm isn't a good place to score food. Even if they do come around, squish one under your thumb and the others'll soon realize that sticking around isn't the best idea.Since I've come home, however, I've been dealing

I've been trying to think of something creative and awesome to review for this Friday, but nothing is coming to mind. So, instead of writing one big review about one thing, I've decided to write a bunch of three-word reviews about a bunch of different things. I finished sooner than I expected, so I'm posting it all now.Without further ado, here's Mini-Reviews of Everything Ever, Episode I:Eugene

Generally, I'm not a fan of modern beat-em-ups; I liked the Streets of Rage series for the Sega Genesis but that's about where my fascination with fighting hordes of the same bad guys ended. That said, I've always been a fan of the God of War games because I feel that the break the cycle and introduce new elements to make their games interesting. While Chains of Olympus is nowhere near as

Thanks to gameandwatch9!Before I start this review, let me get a few administrative things out of the way:I now post a new review once a week, generally every Friday, so now you'll know when to check this site.

I'll be the first to admit that this post is as much a personal vendetta as it is a review. I am frustrated about this topic, and I feel that this website is the most adequate way to both vent to and inform my readers about the dangers of buying a computer with Windows Vista installed on it-- or, more specifically, perhaps, the dangers of not carefully reading fine print.First of all, let me

I currently have a rather bad cold. The achy, sneezy, sore-throat-y, stuffy kind. As a consequence, I have essentially been lying in bed, doing absolutely nothing all day. Only just now did I think to comment on my illness and why it isn't any fun at all; perhaps it'll help me get it out of my system.Being sick is something of a double-edged sword: there are benefits, but there are also major

So, apparently, MTV used to rock. They took their name-- Music Television-- seriously, in that the channel was entirely devoted to music, 24/7. No The Hills, no A Shot at Love, and (this is the best part) no Life of Ryan.Now, however, those are just three of the multiple idiotic reality TV shows that seem to encompass the entirety of MTV's programming. I'm not sure what happened between MTV's

Because my style of exactly what I review and when I review it could be viewed as an inconvenience to some, I've decided to open up a new e-mail account where you can request something you'd like me to review. Your request can literally be anything, but I'll review what is most feasable for me at the time both monetarily and in terms of location. (I live in Florida; asking me to review a comic

This, as you may have figured out, is not a movie, video game, restaurant, play, musical, or anything of that ilk. It is simply a situation in which you should never find yourself. Avoid it at all costs.My experience with housing at the university I currently attend has not been a very good one-- though I like the school itself well enough.

No, not Bushido Blade-- this isn't a video game review. It is, in fact, a review of a wonderful little Japanese restaurant in Venice, Florida that I sincerely hope manages to stay in business.When I'd first heard that a Japanese place was being opened up on Venice Avenue, I practically jumped for joy; if nothing else, it would at least save me a twenty-minute drive up to Taste of Tokyo, another

For me, this game was a very spur-of-the-moment buy. I was in the mall with my brother and a friend, and we decided to stop by Gamestop. He bought the new Contra for the DS, and, deciding that I might as well get something too, I looked over at the PSP section, wanting to get a game and expand my miniscule PSP library. I searched about fruitlessly, and, just as I was turning around-- I saw
