This tugs on every one of my heartstrings. I didn’t realize how much I missed hearing “Ladies and Gentlemen, the next Brooklyn bound L train will be arriving in X minutes” until I saw this video. Found in my [ READ MORE ]
If I haven’t mentioned it enough, I am a HUGE fan of Team Fortress 2. Not only is the game balanced (for the most part), but it is done in a tongue-in-check way that doesn’t take itself to seriously. TF2 focuses on being fun first, and everything else falls in to place. Sadly, TF2 on the [ READ MORE ]
I LOVE Plants vs Zombies. It takes the concept of a tower defense game and executes it almost perfectly. If you haven’t played it yet, I suggest you download the demo now (unless you like being productive… then I suggest you stay as far away from this game as you can.) I mean, look at the [ READ MORE ]

This past weekend Sara and I went to her family’s house in Wintergreen, VA for some skiing and to have a relaxing weekend. On Saturday I got up to cook up some breakfast and since I was the only one in the kitchen at that point, I decided to put on one of the Fancy [ READ MORE ]
Kotaku recently featured some image of modern movies imagined as Atari game cases. I am a huge sucker for making something new look old, as you can see in this other blog post. Here is one image, you can click on the image to see the full gallery over on Kotaku’s site: [ READ MORE ]
I just finished my last day of my coop, and to unwind I booted up some Team Fortress 2 because nothing says relaxing like running around with a blowtorch or building an automated sentry gun. Best.
