    Blood Donations (featuring the Vampire Shield)

    I do donate. I like the feeling of knowing that my 20 minutes laying on my back counting ceiling tiles is actually useful to other folks. I would feel bad if they told me I could not as it is an experience I look forward to. I actually may no longer be allowed thanks to the medications I am not...

    "Why is it the deadliest sin to love as I loved you?" - 'Bless the Child' by Nightwish "This is my church of choice. Love's strength standeth in love's sacrifice." "This is where heroes and cowards part ways." - '7 Days to the Wolves', Nightwish (for both)

    Internet Identity

    I've been an active participant on internet forums for nearly ten years, and ultimately I believe that has shaped my personality. Anonymity has built confidence and has turned a quiet person into a confident, slightly sarcastic, generally friendly person. Of course I believe that ten years of...

    Things Games Have Taught You.

    If in doubt, shoot it/jump on it/hit it with some item you can throw. It's probably trying to kill you. There are far more people in this world trying to kill you than be your friend. Leaves turn you into a raccoon hybrid creature and should be coveted for just that reason.

    Music from games that you've checked out

    I found Bomb Factory after their work on DOA2. It was rather hard and exciting, but I eventually managed to get my hands on a full CD. It was my first experience with J-Rock (and really, my last despite how much I like them).

    Games You Love but Everyone Else Seems To Hate...

    I loved Phantasmagoria, but not the sequel. I thought the sequel was too far a departure from the first to keep my interest. But I still remember fumbling through the intense ending sequence of Phantasmagoria going "gonna die, gonna die" over and over. As for games I like that others don't...

    Worst Computer Problem Ever

    I have a cute little (fairly cheap but shush) flat panel that I bought three years ago. It's still in gold conidition, never had a problem with it until a few months ago. My roommate, bless his soul, sat down at my computer and somehow managed to impale his knee on my tower. The tower went...

    Poll: Cooking, can you do it?

    I'm pretty good. I cook almost anything, but my style is homemade with a spin that probably makes arteries cry. BUT I think I'm pretty good and I enjoy even my own meals. My boyfriend doesn't complain. Then again, he can't cook, and knows I'd make him cook his own if he did complain.

    Zero Punctuation: Mailbag Showdown

    Nice going, Yahtzee. I may be brainwashed by a semester of Modern English Grammar, but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the text of the e-mails being corrected for punctuation. That might have made my day.

    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    I have tried for something like nine years (I think SSB the first was released in 1999, but I could be mistaken easily and have not checked) to get into this series. This most recent installment looks, feels, acts just the same to me and I don't like it. It's sad, too, because I'm such a...
