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.


Very, Very Bad Poetry

I love you
Like the Sky Loves Blue!
I love you
And you
And you
And you and you and you

A Rainbow-Colored Response to RE5 Being Racist
August 02, 2007

- I played Resident Evil 6 today and all the zombies had red necks. Where's my blog?

- Perhaps the black zombies should have been The Color Purple.

- If a zombie is about to eat me, I think that my primary concern is not: "The Impact on Subvarieties of Melanin in Zombie-Human Relations".

- I don't see what the big deal is. They're obviously African zombies, not African-American ones.

- The problem is definitely with Japan. I mean, the Japanese sho

If you are wondering what I've been doing for the past week or so, I've been writing fiction.

The Second Sky: Prologue - The Rough Horizon

Now, onto writing a staff review for Twilight Princess! Because, eh, we don't have one... oink...

It's My Birthday!
July 07, 2007

I feel ancient. :)

Oh, and Live Earth just has to be on my birthday. Darn. However, I will be made up for it with an ice cream cake from the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. Oh, lychee and mango, how I cherish thee. And a Korean BBQ buffet. Yum, yum. (Hmm... makes me look like an emotional eater. But I don't care, it's my birthday!)

So far, on my birthday:

2:30 am - 4:45 am: Play Twilight Princess.
4:45 am - 10:00 am: Sleepy Sleepy
10:00 am - 11:00 am: Watched Venus Williams make her come back to win her fourth Wimbledon as the lowest seedest ever (23) to win a major! She now joins the ranks of Martina Navritalova, Steffi Graf, and Billie Jean King.

How The Magic Circle Protects Video Games
July 03, 2007

"Video games are different because they are interactive."
"Movies are passive; video games are active."

How many times have we heard these statements, these casually spoken sentences, from those who seek to severely restrict video games. Yet all of them ignore one crucial component: the magic circle. One core feature of playing - video games or otherwise - is that it occurs in a separate and self-contained sphere that encloses players in a spatiotemporal frame; that is, a frame that is either bounded by space or time, or both. This magic circle effectively isolates

Wii Transform
July 01, 2007

If the Wii could become a transformer, I believe it would be a very user-friendly robot. And you could control him (her?) (it?!) comfortably between three and eight feet. Oh, Wiimote recommendations for the sensor bar, I hardly knew I needed ye.

Of course, the whole purpose of this blog entry is to celebrate the Wii-ness that is now in my life. I found the system in Chinatown of the New York City variety selling for $350. Not bad around here or the Internet, really. And that was without tax, with the added bonus that my money was going toa small store. Hey, there needs to be some competition with the GameStop/EB Games giant. There's nothing more American than bringing down big businesses; that is,
