So a psychic, a thief, and a priest walk into a monastery…

Posted on May 15, 2010 by baudattitude

That’s a pretty good setup line for a joke, I think, but I’ll leave the rest of it to your imagination. I’m a big fan of buying Shadow Hearts games, even though I’ve never finished one, but I have an … Continue reading →

Thank you for assuming…

…the party escort submission position. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Anyway, after playing through the two Half Life 2 episodes the other night, it was time to get down to the original reason I started the whole trek through City 17 a … Continue reading →

Episodic Content…

Posted on May 10, 2010 by baudattitude

I have no idea why I put an ellipses in the title of this post.  Honestly, now that I’m thinking about it, “ellipses” is a funny word.  It sounds plural.  I don’t think it is plural, I think it’s just … Continue reading →

Moving done, yay

Posted on May 6, 2010 by baudattitude

Not that I imagine people out there are breathlessly awaiting my next post, but things should be getting back to normal around here now that we’re done moving. We’re learning that being in a house instead of an apartment comes … Continue reading →

Moving Blues…

Posted on April 19, 2010 by baudattitude

Actually, “Blues” isn’t the right emotional color. I’m not particularly depressed about moving, I just rather wish it was done with.  Is there a color for apathy-trending-towards-frustration?  Let’s call it orange.  I’ve got the moving oranges. I haven’t quite got … Continue reading →

Going out on a limb, here…

First Steps, Larger Universe, Blah Blah Blah

Posted on March 5, 2010 by baudattitude

Speaking of Mahjong

Posted on February 23, 2010 by baudattitude

A friend of mine recently sent me a link to a flash implementation of four-player mahjong.  It doesn’t have moe characters, or any characters at all for that matter, and it’s decidedly bereft of flashy visuals, catchy tunes, and, well, … Continue reading →

Moeru Mahjong Moe-Jong: A Quick Note on Save Problems

Posted on February 23, 2010 by baudattitude

Back in December, Hudson released a game called “Moeru Mahjong Moe-Jong” on the Japanese PSN, for the princely sum of Y1200.  That represents a savings of 75% from its retail price, which is pretty odd for the PSN, so maybe … Continue reading →

Buying Used = Stealing?

Posted on February 14, 2010 by baudattitude
