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

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

Another Gamer Dad Moment
While at the job that pays the bills, I noticed a video of my 7 month old son that his mother posted. Described simply: my boy is standing! Immediately, pride overwhelmed me. Then I went into our toys and game section and purchased a Sonic, the Hedgehog plush. The boy needs inspiration if he’s going to take the next step;

Confessions of a Gaming Father
I played Pokemon Red when it came out. It was just another game on my gigantic first generation Game Boy; that poor archaic Game Boy. The thing was about as old as me. By the time I inherited it from my mom’s boyfriend, it was mostly duct tape. It was several years until an Onyx Game Boy Advance SP replaced

Some Serious Changes
Some of you may have noticed by now Winsomnia is going through some serious changes. Plenty of new buttons and doodads are being added to the site. A tumblr and twitter account have been created for you social media junkies. Over the next week you may notice icons shifting around and disappearing. It may take me a bit to get
