Video Games of 2013 [GO]

Writing this list each year is one of my favorite things to do at the end of the year. It forces some perspective on what I played and coheres my thoughts on the experiences this year. I spent less time with video games this year, to the tune of 19 fewer games played. 2013 heralded […]

What I’ve Been Doing 5 Aug 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

Lots of talk on the internets about how Orange is the New Black was a fantastic show not worth missing. After checking it out, I’ve got to say everyone’s really right. Movies Nope, but probably this week! TV The Bridge – Demian Bichir is doing fine, fine work on this show, but the serial killer […]

What I’ve Been Doing 15 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

You know how the saying goes, right? When the cat’s away, go see a kaiju homage movie. It was silly stupid fun and it was awesome. Movies Tokyo Godfathers – Min and I were looking for something to watch during dinner and I finally convinced him to check out Satoshi Kon’s fairy tale/holiday story. I […]

What I’ve Been Doing 8 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

Sure, it’s not like watching live theater for real or anything, but this was my first tie experiencing one of Shakespeare’s comedies (not counting liberal adaptations like 10 Things I Hate About You) and I absolutely loved it. More below. Movies This is the End – I wish I could say that I had more […]

What I’ve Been Doing 24 June 2013 AND 1 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

Whoa, whoops! I forgot to get this up on time! I forgot to even post this yesterday! Been too busy, but we’re back now! Movies Brick – I’ve seen the movie before, but I figured I’d watch it as I fell asleep last Saturday. Made it through about half while conscious, but drifted off soon […]

What I’ve Been Doing 17 June 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

I went to three baseball games this week, one graduation party, and one father’s day dinner. There wasn’t much time for anything, but I still got some gaming in. Movies Nope. TV Arrested Development – Partway through S4 I realized that this season was just a giant puzzle box meant to be deciphered as you […]

Trailer Roundup: Street Fighter x Mega Man, The Last of Us, and Tomb Raider [GO/ER]

It’s the mash-up nobody knew they wanted until today! I mean, this is pure insanity, but it’s also super awesome. Rock vs. Ryu?! BRILLIANT! Can’t wait for that free download. Uncharted 3 may have been lacking that je ne sais quoi that its predecessors have, but that’s probably because the big guns were working on […]

The Last of Us Trailer from Gamescom [GO/ER]

The Last of Us tops my most wanted list for sure. Cannot wait for this thing to finally drop in 2013.

A New Character From The Last of Us: Bill [GO/ER]

Holy cow, is there another studio out there even approaching the natural and real-seeming performances that Naughty Dog is putting out? This looks fantastic.

E3 2012 – Six Minutes of The Last of Us or “Good job with all the…uh…killing and stuff” [GO/ER]

E3 is sure showcasing a lot of hyper-violent games this year. The Last of Us gets props from me for making it all look ugly and brutal, but it sure makes it hard to watch. Can’t wait to see how this game turns out for Naughty Dog.
