Posted on December 9, 2008 by baudattitude

After a evening spent alternately deep-frying pork and setting off smoke alarms, I was a little more careful the next evening, when I went to use up the leftover rice. I’m happy to report that I turned four cups of … Continue reading →

F.E.A.R. and Unicorns

Posted on December 8, 2008 by baudattitude

So, what connection does Monolith’s FPS “F.E.A.R.” have with unicorns? Well, honestly, no connection at all, but I had to stomp down hard on my urge to title this “F.E.A.R. and Loathing”, and I think I deserve some credit for … Continue reading →

Posted on December 7, 2008 by baudattitude

I threw caution to the wind and tried my hand at tonkatsu making tonight, and learned many valuable things, which I will now pass along: First: Cooking oil has a temperature called the “smoke point.” This is not just a … Continue reading →

I’m not encouraged to cook.

Posted on December 5, 2008 by baudattitude

It’s not that I’m not allowed, it’s just that whenever I get ambitious, I get reminded about a particularly disastrous incident from about a decade ago. I get a relative pass on stuff like pasta and baking-from-mix; it’s understood that … Continue reading →

One Furry Thing. One Robot. Ten Thousand Bullets.

Posted on December 3, 2008 by baudattitude

I am so going to hell for ripping off THAT tagline. I bought the first Ratchet & Clank game years ago, when it was added to Sony’s Greatest Hits line, because I’d seen people raving about the series and figured … Continue reading →

One of the courses I’m taking this term is an online Geology course, because I need science credits to get my AA degree so I can enter the next school as a Junior. I don’t much care for science courses.  … Continue reading →

Lightly ironic

Posted on November 29, 2008 by baudattitude

So, after class today, I went through the Burgerville drive-through. Burgerville, for those of you unfortunate enough not to live between Tacoma and Albany on the Interstate 5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest, is a local burger chain.  They’re really … Continue reading →

AD Police: Stop me if you’ve heard this one…

Posted on November 28, 2008 by baudattitude

Spoilers follow for the first episode of the 1999 AD Police series – some might say that nine years later is well past the point where one really has to give warning, but I figure that it’s only polite to … Continue reading →

Control Issues

Posted on November 27, 2008 by baudattitude

As previously mentioned, I tried Resistance: Fall Of Man recently and quite liked it. I was getting really fed up about the controls, though, particularly the commands assigned to the L1/L2/R1/R2 buttons, until I realized that I may have, for … Continue reading →
