About Me: I knew at an early age that I wanted to make a career out of writing about games, and now I have. You'll find most of my stuff right here on HonestGamers, of course, but don't be surprised if my name pops up elsewhere. Living out my dream keeps me very busy, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

HonestGamers is a cool site. I know it and a lot of you know it, but there are still a LOT of people online that don't know it... but should. My thoughts constantly turn to finding those people and making them aware of this site, because I'm pathetic like that and I think about the site in one way or another pretty much constantly.

Anyway, I've set up a "Links" page on the main site. The page includes a few buttons and a banner for people who want to link to this site. I encourage all of you to do so on any other sites you post on (where it won't be disruptive, of course; there's no point being a nuisance about it and putting a sour taste in people's mouths) so that more people can find out about the site and enjoy the content it offers.

Some advertising network thought I should put this on my site and/or blog and after checking it out I agreed. It's too big for the main site, but I thought I'd see if it fits well in my blog and if it interests any of you.

"The Godfather" had already come and gone well before I was born. Released in 1972, it did well enough to warrant two sequels and a fair bit of infamy as one of the greatest movies ever, but none of that was such that I had the chance to see it myself until this evening. I could make a lot of excuses, certainly. There's the fact that VHS wasn't terribly common around these parts until the middle of the 80s, but then that leaves twenty years unaccounted for. Then there were my strict parents, who didn't believe in R-rated movies even for themselves, much less their children. But I've been out on my own for most of 10 years and still I hadn't seen it. Why? I guess because I figured it couldn't really be that good, that I wasn't missing out on that much. Of course, I was

One of my e-mail addresses for Hardcore Gamer Magazine is posted on that site, so whenever I check my inbox I can expect a flood of messages all advertising the same basic thing: ways to increase my manhood and pleasure my woman in new ways previously only dreamed of. I noticed a Penny-Arcade comic that featured some tiny little lines of text on a mocked-up computer screen and it had pretty much the same stuff I get.

I think they must actually target video game journalists because they figure we must be lacking in the trousers or something. That account gets almost no other spam, just variants on the 'ways to improve your phallus' ones.

"The Italian Job" is a remake. I haven't seen the original, but I imagine it was fairly good if it inspired a remix. As for said remix, well, it's pretty good. Maybe in another 30 or 40 years, there will be another remake. Would I pay to see it? Probably not. Do I regret seeing the one I'm reviewing? No... but I'm not over the moon about it, either.

The way the film's basic plot works is this: some thieves steal some bars of gold in Italy, then there's a double-cross and most of them are left for dead. One year later, the survivors reunite to steal back that which was stolen from them... and to have their revenge on the side. So they plan a heist and then they execute.

"Casino Royale" was the first movie with a new actor playing the role of James Bond in quite some time. There were a lot of people who thought Pierce Brosnan did a dang fine job--and he did--so of course the new actor was under a lot of scrutiny in the months leading up to the film's theatrical release. Then in the months that followed, there were a lot of people saying that he's the best actor yet for the role. I heard all of that commentary, and I was anxious to see for myself just how it all worked out, but time kept getting in the way. Finally, just this evening, I got my chance to see. My conclusion isn't so much that he's the best Bond, though, as that he's a different Bond.

I generally try not to link to other blogs and such, because then they look really good and I look really stupid for not being bright enough to come up with something equally entertaining myself.

However, I'm looking for part-time work lately and sometimes I might have to put in my resume, so I saw a link to real resume blunders. I thought I'd best read it to make sure I didn't make any myself. After reading through the list, I think I'm safe, but I think all of you should read through it too:
