Disgaea 3. Yes, it’s supposed to be bizarre.
The first one was awesomesauce – and probably the last console game I spent any serious amount of time with (I casually VERY casually play the Wii Super Mario these days). Didn’t even realize there was a second one.
Very curious to see how the visuals look on a [...]

local recordstore is getting snooty when they fail to list Bruce Springsteen’s new album on their new releases list. Because, you know, he doesn’t have many fans left, probably won’t sell many records, or whatever. They had Franz Ferdinand and some other random indie band on the list for today.
As of today (27th) the new [...]

So we got this from netflix and watched it last night.
I wasn’t like, excited to see it or anything, but I did actually want to see it.
First off – in case you don’t know (which you probably do) – it’s based on a HORRIBLY mean spirited comic that would never make it to the silver [...]

on the other hand, were crap.
Don’t get me wrong, they were well written. I just have zero interest in reading one book about Osborn, let alone 2 (and god knows how many crossovers). If you thought Tony Stark was annoying when he popped up “being right” in all the other titles…just imagine Osborn popping up [...]

was very good.
and very sad.
and I have no idea where it’s going now. You should pick it up – although the resonance won’t be near as strong if you haven’t been a long-time reader. Seriously, this thing has been brewing since nearly the beginning of the series. Ouch.
I’ll be cutting my pullbox back substantially in [...]

So my boss & I had this phone call the other day with this guy selling online training software. You know, teaches you Excel, Word, networking, Cisco stuff, whatever. IT related stuff.
First off, the guy obviously had no idea how we function as a business – he was quite obviously used to working with big [...]

WoW gave hunters pet rhinos.
Fuck.
I guess that’s the final straw.
Full pet-spec hunter here I come!

I thought your speech was good, and it hit most of the important notes I thought it should – although potentially in somewhat vague language (but hey thats politic-speak right? :( ).
I’m hopeful, but not stupid or euphoric.
Good luck Mr. President. Even with your vaunted intellect, I think you’ll need it. You’ve inherited a [...]

Anyway…I rarely play 8-4s because they are full of the good people (most players have 1750+ ratings – mine was about 1485 today – you start at 1600, so that means I lose. A LOT.). Mainly I do 8-4s when I want to try and raredraft: the people there are so much more set on [...]
