About Me:

Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma.


All The King's Mouth

The wound is clear
as smooth as thirst,
smearing ooze on toast.
Crunch, crunch.
The cranberry jam
bleeding down his
people.

We're Still Here, Naysayers!
October 24, 2006

Hilary and Jack. Need I go any further?

Even with all the hooplah over the homosexual angst in Bully and the "Caution: Hot Coffee" warning labels in GTA, we're still here. The American people is still sane. The world is still turning and we are still here to see it turn.

Interview: The J-Word, For Venter
October 14, 2006

'Video game journalism' is a questionable phrase at best and a lambasted term at worst. Criticisms that this novel brand of writing lacks the investigative story-chasing of hard journalism have come from both inside and outside the gaming circle. The majority of gaming media, print or online, anchor on consumer-oriented reviews and immediate coverage on press releases from game publishers and developers. Even Jason Venter, 27 - a freelance reviewer for Hardcore Gamer Magazine and the founder of the independent website, honestgamers.com - did not sit entirely well with the term.

Now That's An Easter Egg!
October 10, 2006

"The allied Jeep-like truck in Company of Heroes has 3A5UX5 written on it. In the internet slang known as "leet", this spells out EA SUXS.

Why the jab at EA? Because the Jeep Willys used in WWII are still trademarked by Jeep, and EA signed an exclusive deal with Jeep for use of the Willys for their game, Medal of Honor: Airborne. So Company of Heroes is forced to use a generically branded troop transport. Take that, history!"

Everyone Is Getting Married
October 03, 2006

I just got back (well, 36 hours ago) from my cousin's wedding in Toronto. I hadn't seen Debbie in a while, so I was surprised to find her already betrothed. And five months back, another one of my cousins - Anthony - got married as well, and guess what, his wife is four and a half months pregnant. I guess they didn't waste any time hitting the sack.

It just makes me want to get married myself. Alas, gay relationships aren't honored with the same reverance as straight relationships. Unless I go to Massachusetts.

Or Sweden.
