The Thrill of the Kill
Virtual kill that is, as in online gaming PvP. I worked from home yesterday because of a dentist appointment in the morning. My work commute is too damn long for me to be able to schedule appointments and get downtown in the same day. So I came home instead. And since it was also a […]
Continue readingSerenity (Firefly movie)
I’ve never seen any of the Firefly TV show episodes, mostly because I’m just not that big on watching TV in general. The bits and pieces I’ve caught of the new Battlestar Galactica or Lost have really interested me, but I just don’t pay attention to time/days of the week to remember to watch either. […]
Continue readingFamiliarity breeds surprising results?
You’ve probably heard the phrase “familiarity breeds contempt.” It usually means that once you become too familiar with something, you eventually begin to feel contempt for it, and no longer consider it worth your time. For gaming, I always assumed that the more familiar you get with a game, the easier it is to play. […]

Well, it’s the last hope for me at least. I plan on taking a quick visit to the con today and then hitting the road back towards Chicagoland. I’m glad to be heading back home today because I’m just flat out tired mostly. It’s nothing to do with the hotel or anything like that. In […]

Now I must try to reconstruct […]

These wrap-ups have also been posted over at GamerGod along with Grimwell’s and CmdrSlack’s observations. —————————— I was apparently the only one of our group who managed to arrive at our hotel […]

The Wonderful Wizards of the Coast! AKA GenCon Indy. I’m officially on vacation (started today! Whoo!) and am packing up the truck to head down tomorrow. I’m sharing a room with Grimwell and Family and CmdrSlack and Fiancee, so things will be a wee bit crowded at night (5 adults, 3 kids, 2 queen beds, […]
Continue reading“Victoria’s Secret is not a Game Developer”
I submitted my very first article for the GamerGirl column over at GamerGod. I had no clue what to title said article though, so I left it in the very capable hands of my editor – The Muse, who is herself a “GamerGirl” (gawds, that title bugs me). She came up with the title of […]

Description: Skytower banners made for the Grimwell Online gaming news site. The ideas came from the staff and I created the banners for placement on the main site page. There were 20 skytower banners made in total. These were meant to be humorous and relate to the games the staff played and reviewed.
