Tax day is here and it had me thinking about how shady I canget with my taxes. Let’s just say I live in the grey and hope the government settles for pennies on the dollar when the day of reckoning comes. We all do things that are a bit on the edge. ...

I walked around GDC for the entire three days it was open. It helps that I live three blocks from the Moscone Center where itwas held. The show officially takes place in two halls. The first hall hosts the job fair, lectures, meeting rooms, and open spaces of table with free wifi...

There are some games that are so deep in content that you just know it took a long time to think up and produce, and there are others that just get by in that department. Now the quality of the game does not necessarily have anything to do with this, actually most of the time it does not...

Even if you live under a rock you know the Super Bowl is Sunday and whether you’re a sports fan or not,everyone participates somehow. It might be to watch the commercials, it might be for The Boss halftime show, or it could be going skiing because no one will be on the slopes. ...

I really want to get into an MMO. I like the idea of taking one character to the highest levels of the game and keeping him forever. It is a really cool concept to have this game I enjoy that I can play all the time, or leave it for a while and come back to it...

My mother called me this afternoon and yelled at me for not writing a new blog in a long time. Yes my mother is on GameStrata so keep it clean RROD! Halloween kicks off the holiday season and it had me thinking about whether that means I am going to have more or less time to game...

The “Golden Era of Film” was the 1940’s.  Stars like Humphry Bogart, Cary Grant and Bette Davis were ruling the box office and your entertainment choices were limited to seeing whatever was playing on the one screen closest to your house.  Going to a picture show was a big deal and the only tru...

I do not want to get into a political discussion, well maybe a little…  Last night Barak Obama fired me up!  I have been a fan of his for a long time, and when he speaks I get inspired.  I want to do more for this country, I want to donate time, money and direct my passion for something other then...

We all have little rituals.  They can range from something as small as keeping your keys in the same spot, to an OCD level of Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets.  I get coffee every morning, and when I don’t I feel a little off.  I consider my pilgrimage to Starbucks (Yes Starbucks) a daily ritu...
