Flying Man

“Maybe there are other people who can fly, you know, and they’re all scared to,” Tim says. “You’re being brave–you’re gonna be a role model. And look, you’ll be able to get any guy you want after this. Your days of being single are over.”

Frog Fractions

I wrote this one last November for a failed blog experiment, but I’m still into this piece, so enjoy!

That business is something I don’t really care to think about all of the time; I love games with frequent checkpoints–I don’t miss the old gamess where you’d lose [...]

6 Hours on Columbia

Most of the people I’ve been talking to have been looking forward to Bioshock Infinite with an almost academic detachment. Most likely, the consensus was, Infinite will be a Fine Game, but it won’t be the artistic masterpiece it desperately hopes it’ll be. It’ll be a way to kill some hours and we’ll all get [...]

DmC: First Impressions

I am No Fan of the Devil May Cry series–when the first one came out, I wasn’t really into brawly action games and did terribly with it and ignored the rest of the series. When I got into brawly action games with Bayonetta and Lords of Shadow, Devil May Cry had more or less been [...]
