Posted on April 10, 2011 by baudattitude

Saw this on a desk at work and it made my mind boggle a bit.  I wonder if this is how left-handed people look at the world EVERY SINGLE DAY. OK, a little googling suggests that this isn’t actually a … Continue reading →

Not sure what’s more amazing here.

I was in a Goodwill the other day looking through their selection of PC software.  I’ve found some surprising gems this way, though it’s become less and less necessary with the advent of gog.com. Anyway, I didn’t find any software.  … Continue reading →

Posted on February 26, 2011 by baudattitude

Back in August of 2009, out of a vague sense of obligation, I played through the first Jax & Daxter game. My conclusion at the time was that it was, if not particularly overwhelming, at least OK.  I thought it … Continue reading →
