Pudding, Necromorphs, and the Yen Exchange Rate

Posted on December 17, 2008 by baudattitude

I gave rice pudding another shot, this time taking the leftover coconut rice from the other day and applying it to this recipe, leaving out the raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It worked really well.  I don’t know if I’m going … Continue reading →

In Another Club

Posted on December 16, 2008 by baudattitude

This time, an official club, not an unofficial fraternity like the Brotherhood of the Dead Xboxen, which was the last club I became an – unwilling – member of. No, see, Nintendo finally launched their Club Nintendo points-for-rewards scheme, and … Continue reading →

20 Months Later…

Posted on December 15, 2008 by baudattitude

One of my very first posts was me talking about how I’d gone through the backlog, picked out half-a-dozen of the most critically acclaimed games I owned, and then set all of them aside and played Shenmue instead. To save … Continue reading →

Fear, Expanded:

Posted on December 13, 2008 by baudattitude

The basic premise behind an expansion pack, like FEAR : Extraction Point, is pretty simple and one which I approve of – if you liked a game, it gives you some more of the same thing, and then adds a … Continue reading →

Spiky Haired Freaks And Me

Posted on December 12, 2008 by baudattitude

It’s been a bit over a decade since my wife and I played through Final Fantasy VII, but one thing sticks with me. Well, a few things, really.  Chocobo racing, giant nasty sandworms, flower girls meeting unfortunate ends… but mostly … Continue reading →

Then came the expansion…

Posted on December 11, 2008 by baudattitude

I made fun of F.E.A.R., earlier, for not really being all that scary of a game.  I stand by my statements there. The expansion pack, “Extraction Point”, however – THAT is pushing all the right buttons in making me jump.  … Continue reading →

F.E.A.R. and Unicorns

Posted on December 8, 2008 by baudattitude

So, what connection does Monolith’s FPS “F.E.A.R.” have with unicorns? Well, honestly, no connection at all, but I had to stomp down hard on my urge to title this “F.E.A.R. and Loathing”, and I think I deserve some credit for … Continue reading →

One Furry Thing. One Robot. Ten Thousand Bullets.

Posted on December 3, 2008 by baudattitude

I am so going to hell for ripping off THAT tagline. I bought the first Ratchet & Clank game years ago, when it was added to Sony’s Greatest Hits line, because I’d seen people raving about the series and figured … Continue reading →

Control Issues

Posted on November 27, 2008 by baudattitude

As previously mentioned, I tried Resistance: Fall Of Man recently and quite liked it. I was getting really fed up about the controls, though, particularly the commands assigned to the L1/L2/R1/R2 buttons, until I realized that I may have, for … Continue reading →

Resisting Falling Mans

Posted on November 26, 2008 by baudattitude

…something like that. Our PS3 gets frequent use as a Blu-Ray player, but doesn’t get a whole lot of use as a game console, mostly because the games are still so expensive.  There are an awful lot of really decent … Continue reading →
