The Second-Worst Thing That Happens To You Today.

And back to blogging.  Again.  Something more like a proper post should be up in the next day or so, and hopefully more should follow that in an ever-so-slightly more timely fashion.  The last five months have been very, very busy and then very, very lazy, and I feel the need to shake off some [...]

Team Fortress 2: OMNOMNOM

Continuing the grand tradition of posting Team Fortress 2 videos ages after they first appear on your magical entertainment tubes, here’s the latest introduction to Valve’s wonderful testament to violently slaughtering others through the power of team work: Meet The Sandwich. Not so much playable as edible, the sandwich is yet another of the new [...]

Be Polite. Be Professional. Have A Plan To Kill Everyone You Meet.

To Burn Alone

I had completely forgotten this little bit of wonder that came out shortly after Team Fortress 2′s release until it came in conversation at work today. Ignis Solus is the story of how one lonely Pyro passes the time when no one else is around. Between starring my current favorite Class and being set in [...]

How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Pyro

I’m not good at multiplayer shooters. I know this, and yet I still persist in trying them, which means it’s only a matter of time before the people I end up with know this. Running on the heady tonic of nervous energy that is a), not wanting to look dumb in front of my teammates, [...]
