Permadeath

(Or Sun Tzu’s Fart of War) It always bothers me when I’m playing a video game, how the NPC’s are so blasé about their dead friends. They wander around like nothing happened, meanwhile they are standing in a pool of

I Need To Get Out More (or Been There; Done That)

So, I’m not what you’d call a seasoned traveler. In fact I haven’t been anywhere for a while. My passport expired about the same time as Kurt Cobain did. (What? Too soon?) It certainly wasn’t from a lack of desire.

Glutton for Punishment (or My Inner Dialogue Part 3)

So, I’m talking to myself and I say, “Hey, me.” [silence] “Cut it out. I know you’re there.” [silence] “Fine. I’ll just sing sea chanties until you answer me.” “Wait. What? Sorry, I was just thinking to myself.” “I didn’t

Going To The Movies (Or What Has It Gots In Its Pocketses, Precious)

So I haven’t been to an actual movie theatre in ages. I think the last movie I went out to see was Men in Black. The first one. Yeah, that long ago. It’s not that I don’t like going to

My Heroes Aren’t So Super (or Nobody Looks Good in Spandex)

When superheroes first came on the scene, they were just like us, only more so. Sure, they had a cool power or two but mostly they were real people with real problems. Maintaining secret identities, trying to get a date

Anonymity and digital culture (or Who are you and what are you doing here?)

There are times we would like to be famous and times we wish we were invisible. Few among us could deny wanting to be a rock star, a ballerina, or an astronaut at some point on our lives (for me,

The Fine Art of Complaining

(or Did You See What I Did There?) Everyday I meet people who are upset about something in their lives. Whether it’s the food they’re eating, the people they work with, or what’s on TV. There is no end to

Uncommon Courtesy

(Or don’t make me come up there!) To the drunken hooligans outside my window, Unless the next words that you speak are either, “The house is on fire!”, “You’ve won the lottery!”, or “There really is an axe murderer downstairs!”,
