In Which, I Rant About Sequels

Posted on November 24, 2008 by baudattitude

So, I have a good friend who occasionally comes over for a day of couch-potatoing.  It’s good in several ways, especially because it helps me cope with the schedule of full-time-work and full-time-school that I’ve saddled myself with, by blowing … Continue reading →

Getting through backlogs… how to do it wrong.

Posted on November 17, 2008 by baudattitude

Firmware frustration

Posted on November 13, 2008 by baudattitude

I’m letting my PSP annoy me lately. See, here’s the thing:  I have a Ceramic White Japanese PSP-1000, hand-imported from Akihabara back in August of ’06.  I rather like having the Japanese firmware; it means that when I go looking … Continue reading →

Rub IS Love

Posted on November 11, 2008 by baudattitude
