Rock Band 2 comes out on Sunday at midnight. Three hours before the hunt begins! Update 5:47AMBuying Rock Band 2 at midnight was no problem. Picked it up at the original Super Walmart in town. Got lost on the way back due to heavy rain and crummy road lines. Been… Read more“It’s a Nice Day for… Rock Banding”

Miscellany
It’s hard to imagine that in less than twenty four hours I’ll once again be jetting off to San Diego to visit the family. Here are updates on recent goings on before the San Diego/Comic-Con stuff fills the blog. Over the weekend I did Rock Band’s endless setlist on hard…. Read more“Miscellany”
Singing, Strumming and Standing Still Games
My birthday wish came true when my family conspired to get me Rock Band and an Xbox 360. Kind of… it’s almost a month later and I think the statue of limitations on hijinks has expired. Well, what really happened is that I couldn’t take it any more after my… Read more“Singing, Strumming and Standing Still Games”
Declassified Story from Work and Other Notes
I was in the breakroom and saw that someone had left some Diet Pepsis up for grabs. I desperately needed the caffeine so I took one. It tasted awful! Thinking quick, I grabbed a packet of sugar from the coffee bar and poured its contents into my soda. “Success!” I… Read more“Declassified Story from Work and Other Notes”
I’d Like to Be…
Endless Ocean (link warning: creepy music) is one of those non-game games that crop up from time to time to remind people that games aren’t all about shooting and competition. At it’s core, it’s a marine biologist simulator. You dive in the fictional Pacific tropical reef of Manoa Lai and… Read more“I’d Like to Be…”
This Year is Warmer Than the Last (A True C!G!A! Update)
Today was unseasonably warm when I stepped outside to attend to the chickens. The cats all ran out and had a good time. I did not really partake in the outdoor activities though and went back to my basement den. In said hideaway I’ve been getting more things done. I’ve… Read more“This Year is Warmer Than the Last (A True C!G!A! Update)”
You Almost Hit Me! Take Me to the Pizza Hut!
A little bit of non-linear storytelling here: before the homeless guy incident below, we had decided to get some American-style cuisine. Namely, KFC. I looked up the nearest KFC/Pizza Hut in Lima (they have double stores, like Hardee’s and Red Burrito). It’s on the way to the museum we work… Read more“You Almost Hit Me! Take Me to the Pizza Hut!”
Space Battle
I somehow missed the birth of networking sites like Friendster and Myspace but all of a sudden it seems like this type of site is almost ubiquitous with casual internet use. Specialty sites have come up to cater to specific audiences. There isn’t one for anthropology yet so I’ll write… Read more“Space Battle”
Blizzards… Everywhere!
Columbia got covered in sheets of ice over the weekend, causing all kinds of hilarity… if inching along the sidewalk and then feeling that moment of terror as I slip was hilarious. School was supposed to start on Tuesday but it was canceled due to the icy conditions. Still, I… Read more“Blizzards… Everywhere!”
I realized that Comics! Games! Anthropology! still lacks a games article so here goes. While I’m vacationing in Poway I’m having a severe case of game withdrawl. At my parents house, the only machine capable of playing games is my mom’s G3 iBook. It’s so old it couldn’t run Warcraft… Read more“”
