Posted on November 9, 2011 by baudattitude

  Many years ago, when I was a small child, I remember watching and enjoying episodes of Dr. Who on PBS.  This was episodes from the Tom Baker years, with the improbable scarf and the robot dog and sets made … Continue reading →

You’re Scottish. Fry something.

Posted on November 8, 2011 by baudattitude

I recently returned from two weeks in the United Kingdom, split between a week in London and a week in Scotland. It didn’t afford the same opportunities to make fun of the local cuisine as does a trip to, say, … Continue reading →

Once more into the F2P world.

Posted on November 7, 2011 by baudattitude

A few months back, I tried my hand at a free-to-play MMO, Dungeons and Dragons Online. By level 3, I’d been in some dungeons, and I’d seen a dragon, so really it lived up to the name.  I am given … Continue reading →

Posted on November 6, 2011 by baudattitude

I’ve had an AppleTV for a little over two years now.  That is, one of the original Intel-based AppleTVs, the ones that got dropped like a hot rock when they released the ARM-based AppleTVs much more recently. I have one … Continue reading →

To Heart 2: A Minor Snag

Posted on August 20, 2011 by baudattitude

I’m so very proud of myself; I’ve actually made it through the PROLOGUE in ToHeart2.  That’s, oh, maybe a hundredth of the way thorough the game and it’s taken me 3 hours or so of fervent dictionary use. Playing a … Continue reading →

Living In Just One Mind

Posted on August 17, 2011 by baudattitude

This is probably going to break me. But first, some backstory. I went through a period of a few years where I kind of fell away from being an anime fan, for various reasons.  Lack of money, lack of time, … Continue reading →

Again With The Zombies

Posted on August 17, 2011 by baudattitude

Before the recent boom in supernatural fiction, I never really thought much about the undead.  Sure, I’d hacked my way through my share of animated skeletons and zombies in many an RPG, but they were just sort of incidental monsters, … Continue reading →

Dunschoolin’

Posted on August 11, 2011 by baudattitude

It’s more than a little weird being out of school, even five months after I graduated.  I spent the better part of five years defining myself as a student who just happened to be doing other things at the same … Continue reading →
