So long, and thanks for all the fish…
The end comes for us all, and unfortunately, it seems that the end has come for the World of Meh. To be fair, the end has been here for quite some time, sipping on tea in the lounge, waiting only for a formal introduction. Well, ladies and gentlemen (all none of you, at this point), allow me the honor and privilege of introducing our dear friend, The End! This will, most likely, be the last post...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy: Progress Update 17
It’s been a while, but we’re within sight of the end! I popped Super Mario Galaxy in last night and managed to hammer my way through three more stars. I completed the Bedroom Galaxy (Bowser’s level here was very annoying because of gravity, screen orientation, and control manipulation). After completing the Bedroom Galaxy, I was informed that I had gathered enough stars to gra...[Read More]
Google Voice Translator
I use Google Voice. I think it’s fantastic. I especially love how it will do a voice to text translation of voicemails and send an email transcript. I do not love it for its accuracy. On the contrary, I love it for its complete inaccuracy and butchery of the English language. Allow me to demonstrate: I have a few voicemail transcripts that are so sufficiently garbled that they can’...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins (X360 DLC)
I enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins immensely, as indicated in this review. What I didn’t mention in the review is that we downloaded and played all of the DLC currently available as well. Well, to be fair, The Stone Prisoner DLC was included with the game, but we did purchase the Warden’s Keep and Return to Ostagar DLCs. The Stone Prisoner DLC provides a fantastic new character, Shale (wh...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins (X360)
Since childhood, I have been a great fan of fantasy. I have played many fantasy-genre RPGs over the last two decades, and they remain one of my favorite genres of video game. Needless to say, I was excited about the release of Dragon Age: Origins. One of my favorite RPGs for a very long time was Neverwinter Nights, released in 2002 by Bioware. Hearing that Bioware, makers of amazing games such ...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy: Progress Update 16
(Editor’s note: This was written in September. It has been waiting on the fancy little “Featured Articles” icon to be created.) Welcome to Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 16! I went back to the Gusty Garden Galaxy for a hidden star. There was nothing new to do, just a few secret things to unlock. While there was nothing new, this one was fiendishly difficult. Timing playe...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy: Progress Update 15
(Editor’s note: This was written in September. It has been waiting on the fancy little “Featured Articles” icon to be created. This means the last time I played SMG was in June.) Wow. Three months since I last played Super Mario Galaxy. Time to jump back in and grab a few more stars! With my last update, I had unlocked and completed the Trial Galaxies. I am now ready to con...[Read More]
Xbox 360 Technical Support (GRR)
I understand that a company as large as Microsoft requires a very large technical support staff. I can understand that putting their technical support centers in India is more cost-effective for them. I can understand that, since the centers are in India, they are more likely to use scripts and automatic emails to get over the language barrier. I understand all of this, and yet I am furious at...[Read More]
Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution (Xbox 360)
When I was a yound lad, I came upon a video game called “Sid Meier’s Civilization”.* I played the shit out of it. I then played the shit out of Civilization II. I then kept my shit-playing-out-of tradition alive with Civilization III. By the time Civilization IV came around, I had less playing-the-shit-out-of-things time available, so I was only able to gently peruse the game...[Read More]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Most people know who the Super Mario Bros. are. Even if they don’t know who Luigi is (poor guy), they know who Mario is. New Super Mario Bros. Wii fits in to that famous legacy perfectly. Whoops…Wrong Mario. I know I’ve got it around here somewhere…. *rummage* Aha! I’ve been playing Mario games since I was a kid; my first time playing Mario Bros. on the Nintendo Ent...[Read More]
Catch Up
It has been over three months since my last post, over five months since Lindsey’s last post, and boy do we have a lot of catch-up to do! First things first, though. Let’s have a new talk about our update schedule, shall we? I know, I know, you’ve heard it all before, but this time will be different. We promise! We can change, if you just give us a chance! Right. Well, origi...[Read More]
Heavenly View
This was written for Lindsey. Whenever I’m with you, Gazing deep into your eyes, I see such a heavenly view, And all fear within me dies. As I journey further in, My heart and soul are pained By the overwhelming din Of the joy that I’ve attained. It feels like an eternity, Time itself seems to halt. A wave of peace engulfs me, And fills my aching heart. My only wish is to stay, Gazing ...[Read More]
