American Gangster
On a sidenote, I just watched one very thrilling retelliing of history: American Gangster. No doubt it was embellished like every other good story, American Gangster wasn't noticeably so. Denzel Washington plays Frank Lucas, big time drug trafficker from the 1970's, and......Read More

Gameplan
Tonight there are two things to accomplish: beat Assassin's Creed (no, I really haven't beaten it yet), and watch No Country For Old Men. I won't say much on AC due to obvious spoilers, but I will come home with my opinion of NCFOM, and let me tell you, after reading the first couple pages for......Read More

No Country For Old Men
As promised, Assassin's Creed and No Country For Old Men. One Good, One Bad. Let's start with the bad. In no way does the following contradict my previous review. Assassin's Creed was a great game up until the end. Instead of taking the fun aspects of the game, the stealthy......Read More

Girls and Games
Typically when "Girl" is associated with "Game" it is some hot japanese chick from something like Final Fantasy or Dead Or Alive. Every now and then you meet a special breed however, a rare type of girl who actually plays games. I'm not talking about the loopy kind who play......Read More

That's A Wrap
Original post here That's a wrap for the holidays, gamers. We've got about a month to prepare for the big one. You-Know-Who is coming to town, so you better watch out. It seems that a lot of the good titles were pushed back from the holiday season, but that's ok. There will still be plenty......Read More

Autism
I attend a small writing class with a group of girls. It is very interesting to watch how they behave when guys aren't around. (They feel comfortable enough around me to forget I'm there at times.) Even more interesting to note is the Autistic girl. She is a very friendly person, but the......Read More

When (Not) To Own Up
Many people, when dealing with their shortcomings or failures, like to point them out and feel like it's not so bad if they make a bigger deal about them than anyone else. Sometime's it works, but this really isn't a good habit. Honesty isn't bad, but sometimes a person can be too honest: such......Read More

Huckabee Norris
The video would have been hilarious a year ago. Now it's just moderately humorous. There's one thing bothering me about it though, after hearing that there was actually a fist behind Chuck Norris's beard and not a chin I had to investigate. I strained my eyes strenously for several seconds at......Read More
