I may very well be the last person in the world to review this game. There’s already been a Zero Punctuation on the subject, as well as an Extra Punctuation that everybody should read. Just about everybody from top-tier professionals to amateurs with forum logins have gotten in on the act. My wife recently posted… Continue reading Review: Dragon Age II

First Impressions: Dragon Age II
Finally. After pushing myself to complete a replay of my original character in Dragon Age: Origins and the Awakening expansion, I fired up the sequel at long last. I know I have a long way to go before I can do a legitimate review and I’m continuing to do my utmost to avoid exposing myself… Continue reading First Impressions: Dragon Age II
Game Review: Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening
This review contains spoilers. Fairly be ye warned. This is a review that’s admittedly been a very long time coming. My experience with Dragon Age: Origins, from my initial enthusiasm to my gripes about bugs and length, is pretty well documented. I picked up the expansion, Awakening in lieu of playing through the base game… Continue reading Game Review: Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening
Player versus Player – Who's the Villain?
I’ve been accused, in the past, of being something of a care bear when it comes to PvP content in games. Thankfully, there’s help, even for someone like me. I’m slowly rediscovering what it means to take joy in the misery of other players, thanks to my return to Team Fortress 2. Along with a… Continue reading Player versus Player – Who's the Villain?
Replay Value
So, in spite of some of the less than charitable things I’ve said about Dragon Age: Origins, I’m playing it again. And I know it won’t be the last time. My wife and I like to discuss different things we like about the game, other ways we plan on playing it, and even toss dialog… Continue reading Replay Value

We’re taking care of some errands and going out at least for dinner tonight, thanks to a generous gift card to our favorite restaurant. Guess what it is. Go on, guess. Enjoy this little taste of an… Continue reading Her Twenty-First
Further Thoughts on Mass Effect's Combat
I mentioned I’m playing Mass Effect again. In addition to highlighting just how uninteresting my hobbies can be, the experience allows me to more finely compare and contrast certain aspects of both games. The combat is the first and most likely target for such a comparison, as it’s one of the biggest problems people have… Continue reading Further Thoughts on Mass Effect's Combat
Works Life in Progress
I’m taking a cue from Ye Olde Magick Speaking Beardface and just putting down some words about life in general at this point. I only have one real creative work in progress at the moment, which is more than enough considering everything that’s going on. “Who’re you calling a program, program?”* Right, first things first.… Continue reading Works Life in Progress
Game Review: Mass Effect 2
(NOTE: May contain minor spoilers. Readers be ye warned!) Subtitled THIS TIME IT’S PERSONAL. (Right, Harbinger?) Here we are, at last. I know quite a few people have already played and reviewed this game. Some are even playing it again. I actually went back to the original game to start a new playthrough to span… Continue reading Game Review: Mass Effect 2
Game Review: Dragon Age: Origins
All that blood means this game is totally dark and edgy. Totally. I’ve ragged a bit on the length of Dragon Age: Origins as well as the infamous memory leak that completely devoured at least an entire day of my life. But how did I feel about the game overall? How does its writing compare… Continue reading Game Review: Dragon Age: Origins
