Hey kids! Do ya like the vid-ja games?? I’m so down with the pac-man and the Fork Night! Just kidding I fuckn hate people like that, who look you eye to eye, like a goat, trying to relate to you as though you were some kid (who would still think that person is an idiot).…
Home is Where the Art is
Many moons ago, I was in my fifth year as a desk monkey for one of the textile mills that had a near-monopoly on local employment. I had been recently promoted to sales analyst, which basically meant I had new responsibilities as well as all my old ones. I liked being a numbers guy, not…
Dream Log 1: Paradise Lost
Briefly, so as to not take from the content, part of what I’d like to do with this site is record dreams. I used to do it by hand in the way back, and I always like looking back at the subconscious theatre’s greatest hits for two reasons. First, is obviously to analyze what the…
Uncle Bob
An Echo of Wisdom When I was younger, my mom and I moved around, living with family members, during which, there was a few-year stint where we lived with my grandparents. My grandfather was a hard-working man who seemed to know how to do everything, including playing the guitar. The upper floor of our farmhouse…
On Gaming Addiction
If you didn’t hear it by now, the WHO recently classified ‘Gaming Addiction’ as a mental health disorder in the early days of this year or the late days of 2017. From there, texts started rolling in forwarding articles, and I brushed them off as absolute nonsense. If you don’t know by now, I have…
A History of (Digital) Violence
Gamer. Even the label makes a self-diagnosed addict like me roll my eyes. I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and even though I wasn’t a fan of grunge, I identified with the ‘don’t label me’ sentiments. Gaming is one of my favorite things to do, and I started as a wee-ish lad back…
Feeding the Singularity
I get it. Everyone’s doing this, but isn’t the most common thing among us humans the fact that we’re unique? It’s something I’ve come to terms with... had to in recent years. At first, as the narcissist I’ve been claimed to be time and time again, I hated the fact that I wasn’t better than…
The Mario Kart Effect
We’ve all been there: hurt, frustrated, straight-up pissed off or completely enraged. Someone did something to you and you want karma to do its thing so badly, because extracting even an iota of vengeful satisfaction against the person / thing that wronged you is likely to land you with a prison term that’ll last far…
Social Clamedia
I go with the times. I don’t bitch when something changes, like a new feature or tweaks to the layout of a favorite site or app. Most people shit the bed when this happens, you hear about it for like a week, as it’s this era’s water-cooler banter about the weather or big sports win…
Closed for the Winter
It's time to record the journey. It's time to save the game.
