How a random guy in Oregon would fix Gamestop.

Posted on November 2, 2007 by baudattitude

OK. So Gamestop obviously isn’t “broken” – it’s the de facto leading US video game chain, the 900 lb. gorilla in the market, it makes money hand over fist and I suspect its stockholders are quite pleased with it. I’m … Continue reading →

Posted on October 31, 2007 by baudattitude

After about a zillion sightings of “the cake is a lie hah hah hah I’m so funny and referential”, I broke down and rented Portal yesterday. Well, I rented “The Orange Box”, strictly speaking, but really… Portal. And it was … Continue reading →

Posted on October 24, 2007 by baudattitude

I ought to be heading to bed soon, but I’ll probably be up for an hour or so. In the meantime I am faced with a conundrum. On the one hand, I should take this opportunity to study for the … Continue reading →

The PSP Appreciation Project continues…

Posted on October 23, 2007 by baudattitude

I have been, at times, an utterly clueless twit. Wait, stay with me, I’ll only be emo for a little bit and it has a purpose. Way way way back when I had just discovered anime and was going through … Continue reading →

Dying gameworlds…

Posted on October 22, 2007 by baudattitude

I spent the better part of 8 years playing Everquest. It’s not something I normally discuss in, you know, polite company, because it’s kind of like “I spent a few years doing, you know, crystal meth.” I think people have … Continue reading →

Backlog: The Listmaking

Posted on October 12, 2007 by baudattitude

This isn’t really a “to-do” list that is going to happen any time in the near future. Honestly, keeping on top of my three classes is pushing me hard enough, much less getting ready for the JLPT in December. The … Continue reading →

Posted on September 28, 2007 by baudattitude

A Halo 3 Public Service Announcement

Posted on September 27, 2007 by baudattitude

Yay I can read the web again.

Posted on September 27, 2007 by baudattitude

…or, to put it another way, I don’t have to worry about the gits that make it their mission to post Halo 3 ending spoilers. Fortunately, it’s not as easy to spoil as “Snape kills…”, so every time I’ve run … Continue reading →

Halo 3 Cat Helmet

Posted on September 26, 2007 by baudattitude
