Last week, in my attempt to explain why games were art, I had to come up with a definition that I liked for art. Apparently nobody else liked it. However, I stick by it, but your mileage may vary. The only common ground josh0rfz and I could find about our definition of art involved guide’s […]

Antarctica: Explored
The Washington Post has put up a very interesting article about one of the Earth’s most over-looked continents, Antarctica. What you will find at the site is a collection of breath-taking images of snow, rock, blue skies, and explorers as well as videos and sound bites from the expedition. Many of which end up looking digitally altered due to the […]
Nostradamus Called It
A quickie for this week, which disheartens me because of the last two weeks missed, bringing my tally for the year to -3 comics from the goal. I keep not illusions of necessarily ending the year in the positive, simply an improvement over last year will suit me well enough, but I wouldn’t have set […]
WoW Action Figures Update
To tide you over until the Random Encounter is up later today, I wanted to fulfill one of my promises made back in early February. I said that I would post images of the World of Warcraft action figures as soon as they came out, but as I don’t visit the WoW homepage very often I must […]
YouTube of the Week: SuperZero Edition
A trailer parodying the show “Heroes”, supposedly made by NBC’s production studio. It’s good that they’d have a sense of humor about their own show.
Inq. of the Week: And Stay Dead!
Last week’s poll asked you what you thought about men without shirts tossing elephants off cliffs. It was a close race, with ” Very good” pulling slightly ahead of “Awesome!” and those of you who didn’t like it are few and far between. Of course, this isn’t a scientific poll, probably people searching for the […]
Comic Snap Reviews 3-18-7
Each week, I read a bunch of comics, and rate them on a scale of HIT/MEH/MISS. I also provide some spoilers. This time, reviews in alphabetical order!
World of Warcraft: An Addict's Look Back, Part Two
History aside, I would like to discuss my opinion of the game and why I was so obsessively absorbed by it for two years. While WoW did dominate my life, I allowed it to for a good reason: I really enjoyed it. I feel Blizzard designed the game like a casino in that they didn’t […]
Games as Art: Yes, Yes, They Are
Over at Amber’s blog, she references a speech made at the GDC wherein the speaker called the Wii “a piece of shit” and also stated that Nintendo doesn’t care about games as art, because if you search their site for that phrase it doesn’t appear. Well, that’s hardly a scientific analysis. As someone who has […]
World of Warcraft: An Addict's Look back, Part One
(Due to the length of this article, I decided to split it into two parts) For those of you who know me personally, and those who have read this site since its origin, have most certainly noticed how little I have participated with the critical-hits discussions. I am, in fact, good friends with all of […]
