  • Sublime Text: Purchased!

    Previously I talked about how I was going to experiment with moving all of my text editing to Sublime Text; this has been completed. While I still have TextMate installed I only use it to keep a “pristine” copy opened when checking changes/versions, or copy-pasting information. The ease of having one editing platform on every…

  • Defense Grid – You Monster

    Expansion usually lack a bit in story, at least compared to their base version. Cross over games usually fair even worse. Thankfully, “Defense Grid – You Monster” doesn’t fall to either of these. I won’t say it’s better than the base story, but I will say it’s a great addition to not only the story…

  • My Favorite Robin(s)

    In sync with the rankings I’ve been thinking about recently, here are the Robin’s (not including what they did afterwards) in my favorite order. Tim Drake Dick Grayson Damian Wayne Stephanie Brown Jason Todd In many ways I think I like Tim because he’s the one I can relate the most to. He’s not the…

  • Final Ranks of Fantasy

    Started writing this a  month ago (after seeing this) and was trying to figure out how to go more in depth; but alas there’s so many it was more just talking points. This is just the “main” series as Tactics would be number one otherwise. FF X Nostalgia! When I wasn’t playing Bass Trombone or…

  • Pokémon – Ordered List I choose You!

    Silver/Crystal – Good mix of numbers, places, size and new Pokemon. It felt like what a sequel should be: a continuation of what came before. In this case, part of that was allowing you to go back to the place you were; only a few years later, and a very disappointed Blue later. Blue –…

  • What I’m Reading – 2013.02 Edition

    My current reading is very DC heavy; the Bat Family of characters are still some of my favorite characters in all of comic-dom…really wishing Cassandra Cain would come back, she’s actually been my favorite Batgirl and heroine of the DC line. One of these days I should write up on all the Robins and Batgirls…

  • TextMate (and several others) to Sublime

    Working on seeing if I can switch to Sublime Text on all platforms to make my life a little easier. So far on Linux and Windows is has held up well; OSX is a bit tricker as I still like TextMate and I’m just used to it visually for everything, which is more important than…

  • Revenge of the Titans

    Revenge of the Titans is great gem of a tower defense game. The upgrade path means you get some flexibility with the possibility that you’ll tech yourself into a corner and not be able to get out. That makes it all the more exciting once you finally figure out how to beat that next level with the…

  • People on the Train

    My daily commute involves a lot of train travel; from the Metrolink to the Metro Red Line. Being the introvert that I am I don’t talk to most people on the train. However, there’s about six people that sit around me on the Metrolink pretty much every day. Today I introduced myself to the Sheriff…

  • 2013 Super Bowl XLVII

    Hoping the 49ers will show in force and take this one. Sorry Ray Lewis but someone has to lose in these games, and I hope it’s your team.
