    Favourite Family Guy Quote!

    Errr...Well, far be it from me to make a broad generalizing statement, but I think I tend to agree. It was hilarious when I was twelve, but I gotta admit that, while there are still occasional amusing bits, the show as a whole is just bloated and self-absorbed. And so is Seth McFarlane. It's...

    Favourite Family Guy Quote!

    I'm not going to call the hospital because you won't learn anything if I do. --Brian, after Peter falls down the stairs, having tried to build an indoor waterslide, and kind of mangled and in serious pain.

    Your favorite instrument

    It's probably going to be seen as me just looking to have the weirdest entry on here, but I don't care. The PVC organ -- fell in love with it when I saw the following vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D2o8F2MOuI Seriously. I want to make my own and wow folks.

    The flat-out worst game you have ever played. EVER.

    Mickey Mousecapade. It's a shitty little NES game I played when I was little and never got very far in. I recently picked it back up as sort of a personal nostalgia trip and found that it's still damn ridiculous. I seriously believe they made the third level actually physically impossible to get...

    Attention Escapists in Boston!

    Yeah, actually I did too. I saw 'Bass' and 'Berkeley' and was like, "jam session?"

    Attention Escapists in Boston!

    There's Lauren Coleman's cryptozoology museum in Rockport...It's like a forty minute train ride from North Station. And the New England Aquarium on the waterfront is positively my favorite place in the world :)

    Epic Mickey: Warren Spector's Epic Gamble

    I was surprised no one mentioned the similarity in theme to Kingdom Hearts! But still...for a platformer about Mickey Mouse to not only not be dismissed out of hand but to be considered a potentially great game...I'm definitely intrigued :)

    SAVE&QUIT -- Feedback on a gaming-related script excerpt?

    Hey, I've been offline for a while and only just got the link. I'll let you know when I've read the whole thing through. Keep me posted if you would be so kind XD

    Zero Punctuation: Red Steel 2

    I love how every time he reviews a Wii title there's a bevvy of masturbation jokes. XD Lovely review. Kind of makes me wish I had the game. Hacky hacky slashy slashy is rather cathartic.

    The Ultimate Pokemon Game

    Shroomish is a grass pokemon, even though it's a mushroom and therefore a fungus. Application of logic in this instance is in and of itself nonsensical. Plus, hey, it's Pokey Monz! :P

    The Ultimate Pokemon Game

    Rock would be rock (obvs). Ground is more like dirt. Also straight-up rock pokemon are not immune to electric attacks; only the ground-element is. An example of a ground-only pokemon would be Sandshrew. Clearly not rocky in any way, like Geodude or Onix (which incidentally are ground and...

    Games that have caused you to throw your controller

    EVERY. DAMN. GAME. EVER. Pretty much seriously. I don't know why. I'm one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, and I honestly love games and gaming culture. But you stick me in front of a video game and I suddenly become that nasty old man who screams gibberish and shoots wildly at the...

    My teacher wants us to become social deviants...

    My Anthro professor told me about this one. Different cultures have different natural rules when it comes to how close to others you are when you talk to them. It's funny to watch an untravelled westerner talk to someone of Arab descent for the first time. In Middle Eastern culture it is more...

    Poll: Low grade equipment doesn't always mean low quality product

    Next chapter: Priates of the Carribean! (waits for groaning to subside) OT: I wrote a webcomic for about three months, eighty episodes, in MS Paint. People seemed to like it, for all its bitmappy goodness. Working on a new website for hosting it, so it's on hold for now...
