Now what?

  A gap of a month or so between posts usually means that I’ve gotten back into MMORPGs, and this one is no exception.  I’ve been sucked back into Everquest 2 with the release of the latest expansion, Destiny of … Continue reading

Made with 100% Genuine Katgirl

If you like sushi, you’re probably familiar with Krab.  You know, it more or less looks like crab and more or less tastes like crab and more or less has the same texture as crab, but it’s really mostly whitefish. … Continue reading

I played a long game.

OK, by the standards of, say, a Square-Enix Epic RPG, Borderlands isn’t a LONG game.  I spent 32 hours playing through it, and that’s barely enough to get through the tutorial in some games. By my standards, however, that’s an … Continue reading

You need to spend $10 right now.

A Rather Decent Sequel

About a week ago, I finished up Bloodrayne.  It wasn’t a particularly great game – it had a bad case of Ugly First Level Syndrome, for a start, and character animation was pretty atrocious, and the story went all the … Continue reading

Things that go bounce in the night
