A Dapper Dinosaur

I decided that, since Igor lives at the office now (to stare down a coworker’s superhero action figure collection), he should have a costume for halloween. I was going for Steampunk but didn’t really have anything to give it the edge needed, so we’ll settle for Dapper Victorian. A Dapper Dinosaur is a post from: [...]

Just Another Day at the Office, chapter 3

Slinking in, again with the glaring (this time at the tiny triple chime from the door, castigating me for entering late), I see the usual gathering around the watercooler. It doesn’t actually have any water in it, of course. Clean water is far too expensive to waste inside a plastic jug, just waiting for someone [...]

Just Another Day at the Office, chapter 2

I scurry out of my dormitory wing, heading for a slipway. They’re kind of like what you used to see at airports back at the turn of the century. On steroids. With hormone control issues. Grabbing a safety loop by the entry port, I take a deep breath, and swing out onto the slipway. The [...]

Just Another Day at the Office, chapter 1

1 = I woke up late for work again today. Third time this month, and it was only the 4th. This was not going to go over well on my monthly review. Deadlines are slipping left and right, quotas are seldom being met at all before a new program replaces them. Every manager exhorting his [...]

Half-Life (PC – Steam)

Half-Life Platform: PC-Steam Ratings: Story: 4/5 (I couldn’t hear a lot of what the scientists were telling me, making me miss a lot of plot.) Environment: 5/5 Game Play: 4/5 (Some minor but annoying glitching.) Review: Half-Life is a fun mix of FPS and puzzler, and the first FPS I’ve ever finished on my own. [...]

Megamind

Megamind I wasn’t expecting to like this movie as much as I did. Pogle and I have already watched it two times, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we watch it again soon. While I wasn’t terribly impressed with the supporting characters, Megamind himself is just awesome. Highly recommended (and highly quotable). Megamind is a [...]

Star Trek

Star Trek I put off watching the newest reboot because I was afraid it couldn’t live up to its namesakes. I was wrong, and should have watched this film a year ago. I found some parts very distressful, but pogle talked me into giving it a chance. It was very strange for me to find [...]
