  • Exhausted: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    The beach was a success, but I’m dead tired after my travels last weekend. Did I forget to mention that there was also a PERFECT GAME?! Too bad it was against the wrong team… 7 May NPB Hiroshima Carp (6) at Hanshin Tigers (10). Not the ideal start to a short series, but not terrible […]

  • Daniel Floyd Returns! [Embedded Reporter/GO]

    I put up a Daniel Floyd video early in this site’s life, so it always makes me happy to put his stuff up when he does something new. His argument in the video is pretty sound and it makes me wish I touched more on morality meters in my Mass Effect 2 review. Oh well.

  • I Need a Beach Vacation: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Yesterday’s scores are brought to you by the warm beach weather that I crave and the letter ‘M’. NPB Off MLB Atlanta Braves (2) at Washington Nationals (3). Scott Olsen throws a near no-hitter as the Nats win yet another series pushing them to a tie for second with their 15-13 record. San Francisco Giants […]

  • Lopsided Victory: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    The Lions went and slaughtered my precious Golden Eagles, leaving them with something to think about over the next two off days. It was not a great day for my favorite baseball teams. 05 May NPB Rakuten Eagles (3) at Seibu Lions (19)! The Lions really dished out some punishment. Rakuten is still miraculously in […]

  • A (Short) Alice in Wonderland Review [Filmmakers Bleed]

    I hate 3D movies. I’m not fond of Tim Burton movies. Those two statements should tell you everything you need to know about my opinion of Alice in Wonderland. For those of you not satisfied with that, there are only two more points that I feel are worth mentioning. The first is that I did […]

  • 3-Minute Expert [ER]

    Think you know about the Skrulls? Me neither. Comic Vine, a sister site to Giant Bomb, has this great 3-Minute Expert series that teaches you all you need to know about a comic book topic in…3 minutes.

  • Fandom [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    Even if the Orioles maintain their 0.259 win percentage for the year and manage to lose over 110 games, they will have something that the Nationals cannot have this year: passionate, devoted fans. It’s not their fault, they’ve only been a team for five years, after all, but I notice this distinct lack of energy […]

  • Interesting Trends: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Who would have expected Liván Hernández to have a sub 1.00 ERA and one of the best records in baseball at this point in the season? Why do the Marlins seem to drop the first game of every series? Will either of these trends end? I hope one definitely does! 04 May NPB Rakuten Eagles […]

  • A Great Dwarf Fortress Story Told In Pictures [GO]

    It’s been a while since I put up a good, old-fashioned Dwarf Fortress story, so I’ve got a link to a great DF story told through fantastic illustrations by nomad (tim).

  • Slow Day: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Rainout makeups, but an otherwise uneventful day for baseball. 3 May NPB Rakuten Eagles (5) at Seibu Lions (4). It brings me great joy to see my least favorite Pacific League team, the Lions, lose. Keep up the good work, Rakuten (16-19-0, 4th) Hiroshima Carp (3) at Yokohama BayStars (1). Another solid win for Hiroshima, […]
