I’m really bad at anniversaries.

Posted on March 25, 2019 by baudattitude

So, this blog turned 12 at the start of March, and I completely missed the opportunity to pat my own back at the time.  Now that I’ve realized that, just assume that I have had a sad little party with … Continue reading →

I have played the greatest game in the history of video games.

Posted on March 21, 2019 by baudattitude

So, to be clear, I’ve never played any of the “Disaster Report” titles.  My understanding of the series is that it is a set of fairly bleak games where you found yourself smack dab in the middle of horrible things … Continue reading →

I got a new phone, and it’s OK.

Posted on March 17, 2019 by baudattitude

So, let me take a minute to unpack this:  Modern smartphones are pretty much magical devices by this point.  I am still lightly flabbergasted at the notion that you can cram a battery-powered computer into a six-inch slab of aluminum … Continue reading →

If you think Mahjong ain’t happening, get down with the midnight fever.

Posted on March 14, 2019 by baudattitude

OK.  So I am probably one of about ten people who still remembers Super Zugan, a Kitty Films / Studio Dean production from the early 90s, but the damn theme song keeps getting stuck in my head whenever I buy … Continue reading →

A Mercy Killing

Posted on February 24, 2019 by baudattitude

Normally, if I stop regularly blogging, it’s because I’ve gotten hooked on a new MMO, and I am always fairly disappointed in myself when this happens. I am happy to report that this is not the case.  Woo! I’m dealing … Continue reading →

In which, stuff does not spark joy.

Posted on February 8, 2019 by baudattitude

The last few weeks have been great weeks for cleaning out my space, both in terms of physical space and in terms of the game backlog. Both have involved a lot of throwing things out and taking things to charity … Continue reading →

Donecharted

Posted on January 20, 2019 by baudattitude

I wrapped up the Uncharted remaster collection tonight.  The ratio of “shooting hordes of men in the head” to “solving puzzles and climbing on things” in Uncharted 3 was a little more weighted towards the puzzles and climbing side of … Continue reading →

The Old Man and Mercy

Posted on January 17, 2019 by baudattitude

It’s mid-January and I am still playing Overwatch for between 30 and 60 minutes every night while making the pedals of our exercise bike go ’round.  As far as exercise routines go, it’s pretty low impact… but it does make … Continue reading →

What’s the opposite of a “Sophomore Slump”?

Posted on January 14, 2019 by baudattitude

Yeah.  Let’s get one thing out of the way right up front.  Uncharted 2: Among Thieves commits the same unforgivable sin as its predecessor, in that it has multiple waterfalls with absolutely nothing cool hidden behind them.  I checked.  Not … Continue reading →
