What I’ve Been Doing 25 March 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
It’s cold and snowy and I hate it, but this should (hopefully) be winter’s last hurrah before spring and baseball season. Movies Silver Linings Playbook – You know? I actually enjoyed this movie a lot more on second viewing. The acting is all quite good. Definitely one you should see if you have yet to […]

What I’ve Been Doing 18 March 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
I did it, guys. I finally went and watched my netflix movie. It was…decidedly less awesome than I thought it would be. Movies Sound of My Voice – It’s not that Sound of My Voice is a bad movie. That’s not it at all…it’s more that I was expecting something a little creepier and a […]

Guys, Goon was really good. More later, but you should check it out. This week was a real scattershot weekend as I tried to play a bunch of games I didn’t give much time to before. Movies Martha Marcy May Marlene – The cult in the movie is an interesting contrast to the fundamentalist Christian […]

I’ll get into it more later, but despite it being pretty standard fare for a sitcom, Happy Endings is actually hilarious and kind of awesome. I blew through season 1 this weekend (half on Netflix, then I bought the entire season on DVD). Just catching any TV is impressive considering that I haven’t watched a […]

Mass Effect 3 Impressions [GO]
I’m about 66-75% through the game so I don’t think I can claim first impressions anymore. Here’s what I think: NOTE: I’m planning on avoiding story spoilers, but if you want to know absolutely nothing, don’t read this. – Remember the interface and flow of Mass Effect 2’s combat? It’s back! It’s pretty much identical, […]

2011 in Video Games [GO]
2011 was an odd year in games for me. It started out like any other, filled with joy and happiness, and then it was all wrenched away halfway through, thanks to that burglary, until I was able to start replenishing my stores and getting the ball rolling again for the second half. This list, unlike […]

Movies 50/50 – What a great movie. It was funny and emotional at all the right times. After seeing it I just wanted to go home and hug my roommate (like Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character, she got cancer at a young age). I’ve seen her in a grand total of four movies now, but I love […]

Movies Bran Nue Dae – Disappointingly mediocre. I was expecting something interesting from a musical about aboriginal life in Australia, but it just wasn’t there. Uneven pacing, bland characters, and, worst of all, completely forgettable music. That’s the one thing you have to do right in a musical! TV How I Met Your Mother – […]

What I’ve Been Doing 10 October 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Movies Everything Must Go – Rebecca Hall is superb. I first saw her in The Prestige and I instantly fell in love with her acting. She’s a good understated and expressive actor. Will Ferrell in a drama is pretty neat too. He really shows a lot of range on this and I’d like to see […]

Movies Tokyo Godfathers – I wrote at length about this movie here, but I just wanted to take a few words to say how truly fantastic it was. Great movie. Crazy, Stupid, Love. – Tiffany and I were choosing between this and Our Idiot Brother (ostensibly because they were the only two “date” movies, but […]
