Discuss: Overwhelming Lack of Local Split-Screen in Online Multiplayer
I am both blessed and cursed with a wife who enjoys video games as much as I do. I am blessed, because she is my enabler. I don’t have to justify buying video games, consoles, or other electronics to her, because she understands the compulsion, and revels in it. I am cursed, because we only have one gaming setup, which means that we must learn to share time with our games. As only children, ...[Read More]
Our Sunday Snafu
Sunday was a crazy day. We were both exhausted from our Anniversary celebration the night before, and I was even more tired because I went to sleep feeling a little sick and with a migraine. That morning, Chris made us a delicious breakfast and then we found out about that fantastic Blur game deal, so we were off to do that. Afterwards we cleaned in preparation for his family member who would star...[Read More]
Why I’m Starting to Hate Facebook
Having had a Facebook account for a few years now, and in the recent year started to use it more, I’m really starting to get sick of it. I originally joined Facebook to make contact with friends I went to school with, and wanted something more mature than shitty Myspace. Myspace was filled with all of those stupid glittery .gif comments, so much spam, and nasty dudes trying to get their dick...[Read More]
No More Heroes
On Friday, May 14th, it was announced that the bastards at NBC pulled the plug on Heroes. NBC has been doing a lot of stupid things lately (don’t even get me started on the whole Conan bit…) so I suppose we can add this to their long list of fuck-ups.
Almighty Mr. Ice for iPhone
Over the past few days I’ve been looking for some new iPhone games to get, and when scrolling through the recent titles I saw one named Almighty Mr. Ice. When I read the description, it looked like a simple little side-scrolling platformer, and was similar to Mario. I started to become genuinely interested in downloading it until I looked at the screenshots. In this shot right here, everythi...[Read More]
Twitter Messes Up Again (Shocker!)
For the past couple of days, Twitter has been…unreliable. Sure we’ve had problems with Twitter in the past, and feel like the Fail Whale is a part of the family, but it’s getting to be a bit too much. Last night the dreaded Fail Whale started making multiple appearances on peoples screens, when trying to tweet error messages were popping up claiming server and internal errors, an...[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]
An Interesting Altercation
I like love NEED to wash my hands. I wash them very thoroughly and very vigorously on a frequent basis. If I touch our dog, I wash my hands. If I touch a bathroom door (or anything in a bathroom), I wash my hands. If I touch a slightly dirty dish, I was my hands. If I touch my hands, I wash my hands! Well, not so much that last one, but I am very neurotic about my hands. Why does any of thi...[Read More]
Donnie’s Dookie Disaster!
Almost all of you who read this blog know about our dog Donnie. For those of you who don’t, last year Chris and I adopted a dog who was already named Donnie. At the time he was 4, was owner released, and is a Terrier/Chihuahua mix. Luckily Donnie took on more of the Terrier traits and personality than the shakey Chihuahua. We found out right away that Donnie wasn’t house trained, but a...[Read More]
The Adventures of AT&T and Apple: Mystery of the Assholes and the First Generation iPhone
I own a first generation iPhone. I don’t qualify for an upgrade price until October of 2010, so I will continue to own a first generation iPhone for quite a while, I believe. I have, generally, had no problems with my phone, and have held it very close to my heart since my wife bought it for me in February of 2008. My love for my phone hasn’t diminished. My love for Apple and AT&...[Read More]
Big Trouble in Little China
When life shits on you, it really shits on you. Aside from the issue of my family refusing to attend my wedding, even though their reasons are hypocritical, and the death of Lindsey’s great great uncle last week, a new pile of bullshit has just landed square on our heads. Sorry, no details for now, but maybe one day. Sorry the post wasn’t more interesting today, but at least there was ...[Read More]
I curse you SmileCare!!!11eleven!!
I hate the dentist. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I feel that I can properly rant about the bullshit that occurred this past Saturday. Before I get into that, here is what happened last year: Towards the end of March I knew I needed to make an appointment to see the dentist (it had been AGES since I had seen one). Having Denti-Cal, it makes it really hard to find somebody who is ...[Read More]
