Digital Domain’s Monkey King™
Hey, it’s been forever since this thing came out as a VR experience and somehow I can’t find that I ever actually reviewed it. So assuming I didn’t, it’s a good opportunity to maybe write something relevant about the Wukong myth without having to touch anything problematic. God, is it ever great not giving a…

MegaMan Battle Network, early game impressions
I kind of wanted to do this because I’m actually playing it a bit and actually making a bit of progress. I’m still not very far, and I’ll save an Objective Review System review for once I have more time with the game, but I have some thoughts on the first game after seeing a…

Happy 100th blog post!/Introductions
Hey, this is kind of just off the cuff because I realized I was hitting a milestone and there’s something I’ve been wanting to do. I don’t know if I’ll commit to it, but meet Jay, who you might recognize from my avatar. Hiya! | "So what? It’s just you, right?" Y N e o…

Biker Mice from Mars toys, by Nacelle
Let me preface this by saying I don’t come at this as an actual fan of the show so much as someone who was a fan of the commercials. It aired in a time slot I wasn’t able to watch except to catch the rare snippet when I was sick and mostly cordoned off at…

Build Me a Train to Everywhere (History of Transportation)
I figure it’s been a while since my notifications blew up due to some logistical enlightenment, and since you can only have so many pinned posts, I figure my blog is the best way to preserve it for posterity (and probably blow it up less; people barely read this thing). I’ve gotten a reminder that…

Smaller games with worse graphics
Since everyone else is commenting on this NYT article, I thought I’d throw in my 2¢. The answer as I’ve said before is that graphics are a shorthand for system power and have been for so long, we’ve collectively forgotten that. To quote my past self from my writing on FF Wiki where I can’t…

Software update: MediaAlarm v0.0.3.2!
Significant updates here! Bugfixes to some very old bugs, some plumbing work for what will be the 0.0.4.0 release, and some adjusted expectations on things like help and customization. I wanted this to be 0.0.4.0, but there’s still a little work to do and I have other plans for my Christmas Eve! Get it here!…

MediaAlarm update! v0.0.3.1
A small update with this one, but it did require a little code to pull off. The default alarm for the two alarms and snoozes has been changed to the Windows default MIDI DemoLoop.Mid! Shot is still the default for EggTimer. The auto-update checker has also been adjusted down from the rather excessive 8 weeks…

Fade In review
Let me just say this: I love Trelby. But I’ve outgrown it. If you’re getting started with screenwriting, start with Trelby. It hasn’t updated in years, but it’s FOSS and will teach you the essentials. Fade In sounded like it was going to do more of what I wanted and it’s a fraction of the…

Daydreams (Dreams by Van Halen parody)
This obviously needs some additional work and it’s probably not going to happen any time soon, but it’s something I threw together last night and picked away at a bit tonight. Enjoy! FADE IN: INT. REGISTER AREA – DAY DJ is working a cash register wearing something as close as possible to his normal shades,…
