To continue the theme I’ve had going lately, where I neglect modern consoles and massive Steam backlogs in favor of playing decade-old Xbox games, I’ve started Metal Arms: A Glitch In The System. I’m not going to talk about that … Continue reading →

Dunhulkin’

Posted on June 22, 2014 by baudattitude

I would like to amend my previous glowing review of The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, but only slightly. It has 27 levels, and 25 of those are full of gleeful joy. Sadly I am having some difficulty finding appropriate vocabulary … Continue reading →

Hulking Out

Posted on June 15, 2014 by baudattitude

A few years back, tired of giving up half our living space to media, we moved our DVDs and games into space-saving sleeves. Now that I’m selling some of them on, I’m having to reconstitute them into new keep cases. … Continue reading →

Girl und Panzer Dragoon

Posted on June 10, 2014 by baudattitude

Dunrippin’

Posted on June 5, 2014 by baudattitude

From the “milestones” category: all DVDs are finally ripped and now I can spend a good couple of weeks worth of trying to finally burn out the processor on the encoding PC. That is, of course, stuff that takes very … Continue reading →

Crowning moments in UI design.

Posted on June 3, 2014 by baudattitude

I’ve watched a bunch of sci-fi anime over the years, and I’ve seen quite a few futuristic user interfaces. No self-respecting quasi-intelligent supercomputer or giant robot would ever use anything as pedestrian as a keyboard, after all. 80s anime liked … Continue reading →
