If waffles make you sterile, I'll just adopt


Worth it in the long run I'd wager. How many glorious memories somehow corospond with the eating of those tasty, sacchrine covered nooks. And those crannies... I've gone and soiled myself with saliva.

How about a haiku?

iron cooked tasty
murderous expectation
where doth heaven lie

Move over you sissy crepes; waffles are back.

Gravity Bone: 10 minutes of espionage


Not much to say other than if you have 10 minutes to kill, smack this download with double-click. Clever, beautiful, fun.

R.I.P. EGM


So they're gone... and I'm personally responsible.

That's right. A couple of weeks ago I got a call from a nice young lady imploring me to renew my subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly. I swiftly refused. My reasons are my own (a pear needed eatin') but they seem petty in retrospect.

And so to you, Ziff-Davis, I extend my most heartfelt apologies. You needed my help and I kicked you in the metaphorical junk.

Next time you're in the neighborhood Ziffy, give me a ring. Drinks on me.

Team ICO = Why games is good


Trying out a new font. Mmmmm... courier... It's like I'm typing this on my Smith-Corona.

I love team ICO. They've only made two games (Shadow of the Colossus and their name-sake ICO) both of which make my inner child joyously play the fiddle.

I wish I could explain why both games fill me with such feelings. They literally express tangibly an intangible longing for adventure that lives just beneath the surface of my psyche. I guess that was a decent explanation. There's more but it can never be voiced for fear someone will attempt to destroy it.

This impenetrable admiration for the confections of a group of sleep deprived Japanese men may in fact cost me $500. There are TWO new games coming from them. One is in the ICO universe (shivers of joy) and the other a brand spanking new IP. I really don't need a PS3, but now I kinda do. Damn it.

Maybe I can get a game blog job and write it off as a business expense.

Doubt it.

because hats make me look awesome


In the rain, on a plane
With a rabbit, out of habit

Nothing would make me happier than a revival of the hat wearing generational trend. Class and sophistication becoming part of the common experience.

A wide brim is next to godliness. Also you can hide your eyes and make yourself crazy mysterious.

What's that you say? You've run out of bowls for your crab bisque? Just let me pop of my ostentatious fedora... instant soup holder.

Is it wrong to want to wear something nacho orange? It really makes my cheeks pop.

Lets go get some fajitas, there are some cool mexican dudes that I want to show this thing off to.

Tiger pants

Stretchy and striped, I can find no better way to start the day. Tiger Pants (TM).

Given the choice between eating a whole muffin or swimming the English channel, I'd have to go with Tiger Pants (TM).

When stopped by your local apothecary on the street be sure to order the Tiger Pants (TM).

Following that woman I met at the super market can't get any easier than when I'm wearing a few pairs of Tiger Pants (TM).

Tiger Pants (TM) for men, now with adjustable belt loops.
