    Sorry, did I say having a Mac mini server was boring? I was wrong.

  • Mulling Mac mini

    I'm trying to remember why I need this Mac mini.

  • Driving Blind

    I'm getting tired of heads-up displays in video games. I think the industry could be doing a better job to train players to get rid of them.

    Thoughts while watching the trailer for Hyrule Warriors.

  • Rosalina

    Rosalina might be my favorite character from the Mario platforming games. Rosalina might be the only character in the Mario platforming games.

    I want to meet the person at Ubisoft who thinks the “tailing” missions in Assassin’s Creed are a good idea.

  • Gold Coin For Your Thoughts?

    Super Mario games should have a store.

  • Final Fantasy VIII

    During a computer summer camp in Minnesota I got my first taste of bilinear filtering when we managed to get the PC version of FF7 running through a Voodoo 3D accelerator card.

  • The Happy Room and the Stairs

  • Stanley entered the door on the left

    You are a man in an office. All your co-workers are gone. Find out why.
