MYO Eye Chart
Screw haiku, challenge yourself to create a phrase that fits on an eye chart.
Why no Point and Click 80′s for the iPhone?
If you were a nerd in the late-80s/early-90s there are a series of games that cemented your love of computers. I spent more time questing for the king, space, or the police than I have playing any XBox 360 game (although I think Rock Band may be competing to take that badge.) After those games […]
Meet Close Call
Several of us had a near-death experience Sunday, but I wanted you all to know that we’re just fine and explain what happened. Becky, Sandy and I decided to go see the new Batman movie — awesowe, btw — and we got a call from Mike and Kelly that they were going to the same […]
I’m not tired
Still in love with the Wii Fit, and logging in faithfully almost every day. Sadly, none of my Wii buddies love it as much as I do (or maybe, my Mii is just really boring?)

Name That Tune: LBP Version
Sony really thinks the future of console gaming is community created/driven content — sort of the Web2.0 for games. They are really excited about the upcoming release for the PS3, Little Big Planet. I’ve been watching the videos they’re releasing with mild curiosity and the latest ones have a really catchy tune that I think […]
Casual Gaming Gains On Console
Let’s face facts. I am getting old and cranky — even when it comes to video games. I don’t have the time/energy these days to learn your fancy intricate control systems or memorize your belabored backstory. I want to start the game (without a drawn-out installation or configuration) and immediately enjoy it, then quit when […]
