I feel like I need to make a note about racism and responsibility that’s too long for a Facebook status update or a bunch of tweets. And if I make a sweeping statement (I will make a few), do not return how this doesn’t apply to you. If it doesn’t, you know it. You don’t have to announce it.Read More
Nintendo announced the Super Nintendo Classic Edition today, priced at $79.99 USD to launch September 29th in Canada.
Already people are wondering if they could possibly get their hands on it, and critiquing the choice of games (unless you’re just excited about Star Fox 2). Finding out they are including five feet long cords instead of the NES Classic three feet is a good sign, but I’m sure that’ll be nitpicked as well.
In going with 21 titles instead of 30, this led to a few surprising omissions. I’ve decided to go through what might have been missed and why.Read More
“Ideas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know I’m borrowing energy from the idea themselves.”
– Ray Bradbury
For the first time in six months I’ve had a huge burst of energy. Unfortunately, it happened at midnight. And I have to write something like that for the first time in six months I had energy.Read More
The Nintendo Switch.
Oh boy.
Let me be clear: I am a Nintendo fanboy. I am up front about it. If they do something wrong I have a tendency to downplay it or just not talk about it. I will also be reactionary to someone making dumb statements about Nintendo because I feel they are unfairly maligned, all while knowing it’s just a corporation that wants my money and loyalty and nothing else.
We got that covered? Still want to read? Okay cool.Read More
I heard you like lists?
It’s the very last day of 2016, which means I have a moral obligation to dust off the old blog and create a list. It’s a good time to post something since I took a break from writing this year and plan to get back into it. Waiting for a completely arbitrary calendar flip is a poor way to create good habits but you didn’t come here to read that. You came here for lists!Read More
So tonight I’m going to Detroit to buy tickets for the Powerball.
The longshot at winning the lottery is extravagant, but that doesn’t stop an active imagination from going crazy.Read More
Anne Thériault was discussing on Twitter today radical post-masculinity (RPM, not to be confused with the awesome Sugar Ray song that didn’t get enough play) and it was something where I wanted to say more but Twitter is a terrible platform for it. Of course, I have a blog I’ve been neglecting, so maybe I should talk about it there.Read More
I’m not voting today in the 42nd Canadian Federal election, found through social media as elxn42.
That’s because I already voted last week.
Voting is a choice. You have the choice to vote.Read More
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
The first time I went to The Loop in Windsor, Ontario, Canada was in 2006. It might have been March 21st, 2006.Read More
