Posted on July 21, 2013 by baudattitude

No, really, the shotgun IS terrible.

Posted on July 2, 2013 by baudattitude

In which, I fix a PS3 AGAIN.

Posted on June 29, 2013 by baudattitude

Sony hardware seems to have a hard time of things in our house.  I suspect that it knows that it’s not entirely welcome and that I’d prefer an alternate universe where Sega won the mid-90s console wars and Sony was … Continue reading →
