Steam Sharing

Posted on September 11, 2013 by baudattitude

I think I’ve identified the demographic that Valve’s new Family Sharing feature is aimed at, and it’s basically, well, gamers who spread themselves thin across multiple consoles and who may have some PC games in Desura and some others in … Continue reading →

Arts & Crafts

Posted on September 4, 2013 by baudattitude

My wife has been doing a bunch of cross-stitch lately, which is a pretty neat way to convert thread and patience into pretty objects.  Of course, we’re not your “precious moments” type of people, so she’s been challenging me to … Continue reading →

Executive Decisions

Posted on September 3, 2013 by baudattitude

One advantage of having six and a half years of back posts here, mostly talking about my habit of playing through games about a decade after release, is that I can tell you that it’s been 5 years and 4 … Continue reading →

Ponies do Justice League

Posted on August 28, 2013 by baudattitude

I love this cover so very much: Sure, it makes almost no sense to drop a homage to a 26-year-old superhero comic onto a 2013-released comic ostensibly aimed at kids, but I love the way it copies both the visual … Continue reading →

I’m just not meant to play “Uncharted”

Posted on August 27, 2013 by baudattitude

Dragon’s Crown

Posted on August 24, 2013 by baudattitude

I don’t play many 2D brawlers.  I’d like to blame this on a generational thing – the genre more or less started with Double Dragon, and that came out right around the same time I stopped going to arcades.  So, … Continue reading →

The I IS capitalized.

Posted on August 22, 2013 by baudattitude

I took advantage of the early iTunes release of Star Trek: Into Darkness to re-watch it last night.  I’d seen it in the theater, but my wife was watching it for the first time.  I’ll admit that it was fun … Continue reading →

Drama for Language Geeks

Posted on August 20, 2013 by baudattitude

I’ve never been a real fan of Japanese live action drama series. I watched the Great Teacher Onizuka TV series some years back, after seeing the movie, and I keep meaning to get around to Winter Sonata – yes, I … Continue reading →

Haganai

Posted on August 18, 2013 by baudattitude

A month or so ago, I was looking at the “Recommended for you” page on Amazon, and the number one item was Haganai.  I don’t buy a lot of anime these days – I don’t buy a lot of physical … Continue reading →
