I put up all the old recordings I did way back when with Roller Chair Derby for the sake of archiving them. Help yourself if you're interested. I put a little quote on there, which - egotistically enough - is myself. I remember saying that to our drummer (a few guys held that role, but John Carpenter really was the only one I ever thought of as our drummer) one night when having a pretty nasty

I want you to try something. In your mind's eye, I want you to picture a scene from Dead or Alive 2. Don't focus on it too hard, just call up a memory of the game if you've played it. Now, clear your mental palette and call up an image of Dead or Alive 4. If you feel like it, do the same for the other games in the franchise as well. Next, try looking at the games side by side. Before you do,

Aeon Flux came out today, two weeks ahead of the film, and it's being pretty well reviewed so far. There are two reviews on gamerankings at this point; both give a 7.8 The IGN review was generally complimentary, but the reviewer interested me by choosing narrative as a point to pick on a bit. This is (probably) not undeserved, and I wanted to share a bit of insight, and do some retrospective

My buddy Phil pointed out to me that Dillenger Escape Plan had a video featured on the On-Demand video service we both happen to subscribe to. I'm not a devoted fan of the band, but I keep a few of their songs handy - crazy material full of dissonant sounds that somehow work together. I listen to them as much out of respect as enjoyment. Imagine my dismay, then, when I watch the video - devoid

This morning, I was reading up on an unlikely subject: feminism. The Escapist's "women in gaming" issue came out this morning, and I had scarcely started reading, when I ended up, through a chain of blogs, wikipedia, and googling, reading up on "Raunch Feminism". The concept, detailed in this book basically revolves around the idea that (some) modern women embrace sexuality as an empowering
