Creations Weekly Coming Up Later
I just wanted to take the time to say that I’m really excited about tonight’s Creation. I’ve been looking forward to it since Juli told me about it last week. I had a long post but I didn’t want to spoil it for anyone. Stay tuned for a pretty awesome Creations Weekly tonight.

Music and Video Games: A Second Opinion
I finally mustered the motivation to change my notification tones on my cellphone today. As much as I enjoy the mechanical “Droid” chime, I needed something more me. Where did I go? Video game tones. I ended up with the tried but true Metal Gear Solid Codec sound for general notifactions and an amputated Lutece Twins tune for text messages.

A Moment of Clarity
If I had a beer for every beer I spilled on my keyboard when I’m writing these late night posts, I’d have no keyboard. Seriously, I’m surprised this thing still works with the amount of stout that Kilimanjaros out the top of a bottle after I sip it it. Maybe I need to drink faster to stop beer from frothing

Another Gaming Father Confession: Baby Bjorns (Incriminating Photos Embedded)
It’s Friday (before Bar Close in Insomnialand still counts as Friday) so I’m posting another Confession. It’s a thing now. For this one we’re traveling back in time to the winter I first brought Baby Colin home and discovered a truly practical use for one of those emasculating baby torture backpacks; the buy-overpriced-baby-crap store called it a Baby Bjorn. I

I have a fury tonight
My post about Walking Dead caused a rage from late 2012/early 2013 to resurface. At the beginning of the year the phrase “game changer” was tossed around like an angry college girl’s iPhone. Every site and critic was applying the label liberally and I disagreed humbly with all of them. And by “humbly” I mean I went to every site

Spoilers Inc: Telltale Games Plays Walking Dead
Below this wall of text, I’m linking you all to a solid series of streams featuring the Walking Dead game developed by Telltale Games. It does have spoilers. In fact, it’s basically just the developers playing the game and spoiling it and providing commentary the entire time. It’s a great watch. Play the games first if you haven’t. If you

VG Movies Take Two
I agree with much of what Juli said. I especially agree that Advent Children is a successful video game movie. I think it worked so well because it just picked up where the game left off. It didn’t bother dumbing down and retelling a narrative that was already experienced (and experienced is a key word here). The characters were already
