McDonalds Sahara Grill Chicken Burger

Posted on May 17, 2015 by baudattitude

I sometimes wonder whether people visiting the US get the same comforting feel from the sight of the Golden Arches.  It’s a sign that, no matter how alien the local food, customs, and language may be, there’s at least one … Continue reading →

Public Transit in Beijing

Posted on May 16, 2015 by baudattitude

Negative post warning I have a very difficult time loving Beijing. Part of that is almost certainly because the hotel I stayed in was in the heart of the tourist district surrounding the Forbidden City, etc, and that meant that … Continue reading →

Visiting the Forbidden City

Posted on May 15, 2015 by baudattitude

I like the sound of that.  The Forbidden City.  Sounds rather like a Tomb Raider level, doesn’t it? At any rate, the Forbidden City, also rather boringly known as the Palace Museum, is a collection of former imperial palaces at … Continue reading →

Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries

Posted on May 14, 2015 by baudattitude

Time to put Tamriel down for a bit.

Posted on May 11, 2015 by baudattitude

Random Chinese Junk Food

Posted on May 10, 2015 by baudattitude

I have a friend who is a big fan of Kinder Eggs.  These are chocolate treats, sold everywhere in the world that is not the US, that consist of a hollow chocolate egg with a toy surprise inside.  They are … Continue reading →

Happy Mother’s Day!

Posted on May 9, 2015 by baudattitude

OK, technically this is a day early. Consider it a reminder to call your mom. PSA over, moving on: A while back, incensed with the ending of the Da Capo anime, I bought the translated visual novel from MangaGamer, and … Continue reading →

Crimson Dragon: Side Story

Posted on May 8, 2015 by baudattitude

I have a difficult time thinking of a group of gamers more easily abused than Sega Saturn fans. The system had a painfully early demise in the US and was by virtually every measure an abject failure, but the slightest … Continue reading →
