You wouldn’t think so, but playing Uno with random people on Xbox Live is tons of fun. The people who play it are actually NICE! I’ve made E-FRIENDS with total strangers! Our love of Uno unites us, and no one can tear us apart. When I play Marble Blast I usually get trash-talked by 12…

50-year mortgages? Ho-lee-moley. Only in California. I can see the value of getting one of these and then refinancing a few years later when your earning power increases. But if it doesn’t increase enough then this kind of loan can be a big gamble. Kind of like ARMs! With real estate as expensive as it…
Culdcept was one of my favorite PS2 games ever! The series has a big following and lots of sequels in Japan, but when it hit the US sales were horrendous. Finding a copy was next to impossible. I had given up all hope of Culdcept returning to US shores, but Culdcept Saga is coming to…
I used to go to E3 all the time. While it was usually a lot of fun, it was also a draining, exhausting experience. It’s loud, crowded, and there’s just way too much going on for you to ever feel like you’ve seen everything. I stopped going once I realized that just following E3 coverage…
My Xbox360 has a weblog of its own. It’s keeping close tabs on me! I’m trying to unlock the “Endless” achievement in Bejeweled 2, and that involves quite a bit of playing. The farther you progress, the longer the levels take to complete. After about two weeks of playing in Endless mode I’m at level…
Drinking Gin Like a Civilized Human BeingPart 3 of 3The Classic Dry Martini I’ve saved the best for last. At its best, a true martini is a stroke of genius, a work of art, and a steamtrain to Betty Ford. The martini turned Dick Van Dyke into an alcoholic, and it’ll work its magic on…
Drinking Gin Like a Civilized Human BeingPart 2 of 3Gin and JuiceI don’t know if the whole “Gin and Juice” phenomenon really started in the ghetto, but the way Snoop Dogg talks you’d think he had a patent on it. It’s really just a gin screwdriver. That alone doesn’t sound like much, but it’ll knock…
At the wedding I went to last weekend I think the 60-something bartender was maybe a little retarded. That didn’t stop her from throwing plenty of attitude, though. I walked up to the bar and ordered a Tanqueray martini. She looks me straight in the eye and goes “I only have gin.” Tanqueray IS gin….
It’s a little buggy, a little slow, and there’s no sound, but the first Nintendo 64 emulator for the PSP was released this week. It’s called Daedalus.
Me + wedding + open bar + Tammy’s unattended camera =
