Holy Cow—Another Winner from Valve?
I’m not the biggest follower of gaming news—usually I just hear about things from Kyle, Penny Arcade, or a rare late night web surf. As a result I just found out about Left 4 Dead today, a new multiplayer FPS game from Valve. I watched the interview video and I’m really impressed. I can definitely…

Grid 16
This is by far one of the most interesting and fun flash-based games I have played in a long time. Check out Grid 16. There are 16 mini-games, all requiring the arrow keys to control, and your job is to figure out how to play them while staying alive. Die in a game and it’s…

Web Grievances
Whenever a title contains “grievance” one prepares for the worst, so I’ll try to keep the whining to a minimum. It seems I was over-hasty to laud the virtues of Imeem, as Kyle and more recently, I, have discovered its frustrating limitation.

It appears that Facebook has gotten the blog import feature working again. Perhaps now I should go back and tag some of these. Rachel and I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End on DVD last night. I tried to get a better quality picture by hooking the player up via the component video…

However, I recently added the feed to FeedBurner largely because it allows me to track subscribers using the handy little button on the right-hand side—four already since I added the thing, that’s…

The Orange Box
I preordered The Orange Box over Steam not too long ago and scored five games for $45. Unfortunately I already had two of the five (Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One), but I’m recouping some of my expenditure by passing those two along to Omar for a small fee. He started playing Half-Life 2…

Harry Potter
After several weeks of returning to my room, rudely deserting my appalled roommates and shutting myself away until the wee hours of the morning, only to wake up exhausted the following morning, I have finally finished the Harry Potter book series. Yes, I know, I’m about oh, say, four or five years behind the rest…
