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.

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]
Faith
Originally written January of 2007. Edited August of 2009. This one reads more like a story. Faith has been a huge issue for me lately, with events in my life leading me farther and farther along the path of Agnosticism. At this point, I’d classify myself as a Strong Agnostic. When I was young, I was innocent, And everything seemed so clear. My faith dicated by my parents, And I lent an al...[Read More]
Hypocrisy
Originally written March of 2007. Edited and extended August of 2009. Hypocrisy By: Christopher Chaffin Written: March 2007 Edited and Extended: August 2009 Hypocrisy has run rampant Across an apathetic world, Whose dignity has been spent By hearts, depressingly cold. Disregard for our fellow man In situations dark, and bleak Only serves to lend a hand To the havoc which we wreak. Death, Poverty, ...[Read More]
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (Xbox 360)
A few weeks ago, Lindsey and I rented Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe for our Xbox 360. We generally like the vs. series of games (Marvel vs. Capcom, Capcom vs. SNK, etc), so we had high hopes. We were severely disappointed. The problem with Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe does not lie with the graphics. there are some characters that do not look quite right, but overall, the graphics are very nice....[Read More]
Taken
If you manage to walk away from Taken having learned one lesson, that lesson would be to never fuck with Liam Neeson. If you do, you will die so hard that your ancestors will feel it. Seriously. Liam Neeson plays Bryan Mills, a retired CIA agent trying to get closer to his estranged daughter. Plot setup ensues, and finally his daughter is kidnapped while on vacation in Paris. He tracks down th...[Read More]
