A little rant

December 3rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Commentary

By hitting control-option-command+8 in Mac OS-X, you can invert your screen colors (make them go negative). I’m sure there’s a reason why someone would want to do that, but I’m most certainly not that person. Nevertheless, the other day, I opened up my laptop only to find my colors have been inverted. Somehow, my two [...]

The Lost and Damned Impressions

February 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Gaming

I’ve made it no secret: I loved GTA IV. I loved the story, thought that even though it had flaws, it was still a great game. I’ve also been excited to give the new DLC, The Lost and Damned, a whirl. So after downloading the new content and putting a few hours in, I figured [...]

Grand Theft Dead Rising?

October 23rd, 2008 · 4 Comments · Gaming

I just read this rumor earlier today on Joystiq. While it would be weird to go from the gritty setting of Liberty City to a zombie-infested Liberty City, I would certainly approve this change. Especially if Frank West was a playable character.

The flying rat infestation

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments · Gaming

Speaking of GTA IV and cheats, I recently uploaded a set of three maps to Flickr that have the locations of all the pigeons in the city (again, there’s an achievement for that). Now that I’ve finished the game and Niko has done what he needed to do, I suddenly feel a responsibility to clean [...]

You Won!

Yes, I most certainly did! Last night I completed the story in GTA IV. I don’t have a lot of time to talk about it, but I will say I thoroughly enjoyed Grand Theft Auto IV. It has its flaws (no checkpoints during missions is criminal) but taken as a whole GTA IV was a [...]

Gobble Gobble

August 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Gaming

I’m working to finish up the last few missions in GTA IV, but last night I decided to work on an achievement or two before I make more mission progress. I figured the “Gobble Gobble” achievement, where you have to score a turkey in the bowling mini-game, would be easy enough. Easy enough, right. The [...]

The GTA IV Post

June 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Gaming

At this point, GTA IV has been out almost two months, so after the hundreds of reviews and blog posts written about it, I’m not really sure what more I could add to the discussion. That’s not to say I don’t have anything to say, I just don’t think much more can be said. So [...]

Back home and plugged-in

June 9th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Gaming

So family from out-of-town was visiting this past week, so we decided to head to Mrs. Buttonmasher’s parents’ house to hang out with the fam. Therefore I have been away and unplugged for the better part of a week. It’s been nice to be away from “the stuff” but I have been missing my travels [...]

The Onion nails it

June 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Asides, Gaming

… as usual: Liberty City Police Face Allegations Of Incompetence, Brutality. A little taste: “I was shot 14 times on my way to work today, including twice by police,” said one Algonquin-area resident. “That is unacceptable.” Muchos LOLs.
