I Absolutely Hate the Oscars

This is my third year in a row that’s it been a requirement to actually view the Oscars for work. I must say, This year is exceptionally awful. The only thing that’s saving me from complete brain damage is John Stewart. And honestly, he’s good — but not good enough to save this horrific spectacle [...]

‘The Fog’ Is a Really Crappy Movie

Seriously. I’m attempting to get over a really bad cold and the movie was free on demand, so I figured, why not — I’ll just keep it on in the background. But not even keeping it on in the background could save me from how terribly lame it was. Dude. She makes out with the [...]

The Red Ring Has Overtaken Me!

So it’s finally happened. My console has completely crapped out. The red ring has come and refuses to go away. I called Xbox and they’re sending out a box for me to send it back in. I’m kind of sad. The guy was like, red ring what’s that, you mean the three blinking red lights? [...]

Do I need to say more? Really?

The Red Ring of What the F@#k?

(((UPDATE: 8/22: After some fiddling and an angry call to Xbox, I got my baby working again, and decended into Rapture, bug free. Bioshock is freaking amazing, more to come on that. In the meantime, I apologise for how harsh I was on my 360, but did invest in an external memory unit so [...]

Someone Named Jim Hates Me… A Lot.

I started a message board on whether or not boob jobs were still a social stigma and this guy totally hates me now for no reason! It’s HIGH-Larious.

A Sad Day for Women Gamers (And Really for Gamers as a Whole)

My husband and co-worker BOTH sent me this gallery feature today, proudly presented by GamerHelp.com, that highlights female gamers, seeking to show off that women can, in fact, pick up a controller and operate it at a decent rate. Who fucking knew? Here I offer a poor excuse for an article, as well as my [...]

Stupidity Breeds Annoyance

So I re-wrote my suitably horrid EB experience on my work game blog, and the comments it received were ridiculous. Honestly, there were a good share of positive comments, but as a whole, most of the people just accused me of being a feminazi and not knowing what it was like to work at a [...]

I’m Too Angry For My Own Good Strikes Back

While ‘Strikes Back’ in no way, shape or form relates to my actions at aforementioned ‘unnamed game store,’ I still felt that as a sequel, ‘Strikes Back’ really lends a sense of oomph that can never be accomplished by ‘2.’ I guess growing up ‘Star Wars’ just does that to you.
I went into EB Games [...]
