The Best Of Collection
I've been meaning to do this for a bit now; a list of the more interesting, funny, or just plain likable posts I've made (in my opinion) since getting a LiveJournal back in 2001. Maybe it's a bit conceited of me, but if you've only been reading this journal occasionally or recently, it could be helpful/interesting/amusing ( Read more... ) -
Conceit
Question: What do you think the best thing I ever wrote was? What was your favorite thing I ever wrote? This a serious question -- I'm being sort of introspective recently and I'm trying to figure something out.
Anything is fair game -- my full-time work, freelance, social media (like LJ, hi) and personal writings. -
The Return?
I'm tempted to return to LJ, if only because I need an outlet to talk and other networks are just too public. But then I remembered I hate some of the changes they made. We'll see. I'm sorry I haven't been reading your posts. -
Why I'm not really bothered I can't play as a woman in some games
I've been really into the Assassin's Creed series since last year, so it's no surprise that I was watching and reading all of the announcements last week regarding the newest game, Assassin's Creed: Unity. So of course I saw the articles about how the developers said that they couldn't skin the characters in the co-op because of technical ( Read more... ) -
Operation Finish all the Games, December 2013
Like many gamers, I have a backlog. I have a shelf worth... or several shelves' worths of unbeaten, sometimes even unplayed, games. It happens. Many games take a while to play through, some require specialized equipment (console, capable PC), and most just require blocks of time and attention that I just can't give. Or haven't been willing to give ( Read more... ) -
State of the Game, November 2013
I wonder if I should make a resolution to try and finish up my backlog, which now goes back two generations since we're in a new generation and all... sigh.
Currently playing:
- Assassin's Creed
I enjoyed Assassin's Creed III so much that it made me want to go back and play the earlier games. I was worried that the mechanics would feel ( Read more... ) - Assassin's Creed

Questions of Great Gravity
Gravity is put together quite well in terms of pacing, and it ends exactly where it needs to end. However, it left me with some questions that will never get answered...
( Spoilers, bitch. ) -
I'm pretty sure the title is a pun
Just want to talk about Gravity for a little bit here.
Visually: Spectacular. We saw this in (real) IMAX 3D, and it was worth every penny. There are very few movies where I feel like you can legitimately say that (maybe Avatar, except story-wise it was kind of shit). The effects are great, and each shot is framed beautifully. It will probably win ( Read more... ) -

On the Map: A Mind-Expanding Exploration of the Way the World Looks
by Simon Garfield
I'm not sure if it's "mind-expanding" and it's certainly not "mind-blowing." But I learned a few things, so perhaps my mind was expanded?
This is a book about maps, but it does not have very many maps in it. Not that it doesn't have any, but if this book had ( Read more... ) -
What I'm reading, September 2013
I'm not doing this because everyone else is. Rather, it's because I'm having thoughts that I want to record for when I write the eventual review.
