    Gaming Class of 2010

    Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming to tonight’s Gaming Class of 2010 Awards Banquet.  Let’s get started right away, shall we? “Most Likely to Play Over and Over Again” Award Halo: Reach I played it through 3 times – solo and co-op, heroic and legendary – and I still would probably play it again…

    Games Played in 2010

    My “Games Completed” list this year is quite good.  Part of that is that my total number of games played is inversely proportional to the amount of time I play World of Warcraft.  Meaning I didn’t play much Warcraft this year, so I played a lot of other things.  The other reason is that I…

    Books Read in 2010

    My book list this year is rather short this year.  As I said previously, I decided not to listen to any audiobooks this year, and I really didn’t concentrate too much on reading anything early in the year.  I’ve been making up for it the second half of the year, but it makes for a…

    Audio Dramas in 2010

    It’s time to start the year in review.  In previous years I listed my books read that year, and I still intend to do that this year. The list will be quite a bit shorter this year, though, because I made the decision at the beginning of 2010 not to listen to any audiobooks. I…

    Zork My Kindle

    One of the things I love about the Kindle is that it does one thing really well, which is be a book reading device.  It doesn’t have to make bacon and change my oil and do a dozen other multimedia functions, so long as reading on it is a superlative experience.  So while it does…

    Ut phoenix, ex cineribus resurgam

    Life called, and I answered.  Every year, when summer winds down and fall ramps up, I feel steamrolled by stuff to do.  Work has been busier than usual, and when I haven’t been at work it seems like I haven’t paused for a moment.  At one point I was at home for 36 hours out…

  • Bernice Summerfield: Dead and Buried

    This came out a few days ago, but I finally got around to watching it.  If your a fan of Big Finish’s Bernice Summerfield series, you might be interested in this new animated short , which falls canonically between series 10 and series 11.  If you’ve never read or listened to any of Benny’s adventures,…

    Papercraft Friday #100: Gatchaman God Phoenix

    Woo Hoo!  We made it to Papercraft Friday #100!  And I mean “we” because as much as I love papercraft, I doubt I would have consistently blogged about it week after week if I hadn’t got such great interest and response from everyone.  So what did I choose for #100?  It had to be the…
