Posted on March 8, 2009 by baudattitude

I’ve been playing X-Blades off and on for the last couple of weeks and have been having great fun with it.  It’s gotten some absolutely atrocious reviews, but I’m not sure where the hate is coming from – yeah, it’s … Continue reading →

Aliens, Religious Cults, and me.

Posted on January 4, 2009 by baudattitude
