Chess and Roller Derby
Tuesday, April 1, 2014
Why chess? I just think that the two games have a lot to say about each other. To put it in another way, the rules of roller derby didn’t develop in a vacuum, separate from every other game in existence. New games are built upon mechanics, themes, and conventions featured in the games that came […]

Video Games I Need to Finish Already
Wednesday, June 30, 2010
I am so bad at finishing games. Allow me to outline a few of the ones I would most like to finish, why I want to revisit them, and explore a few reasons why I dropped them in the first place. 1. ÅŒkami: I’m a little surprised that I haven’t revisited it in two years. […]

If people could eat crude oil, the daily spillage could sustain Chicago. The gasoline that could […]
Video Games I’m Never Going to Finish
Friday, March 26, 2010
1. Mirror’s Edge: This game is just hard. Worse, the difficulty has more to do with shoddy level design and serious compromise of the innovative free-flowing parkour experience the game sold itself on. I always hated how Fayth is constantly hounded by SWAT teams and snipers, especially since the combat system is so rough, and […]
Summer Crowds
Saturday, June 27, 2009
I love summer. I love summer fruit at the peak of flavor, which I purchase to be eaten by next breakfast. I love sailing on my bicycle through the heady aromas and seductive botanical pageantry along mountain roads. I do not, absolutely do not love summer crowds. The malls and markets of summer are flush […]
