I’m not known for written brevity. I’ll try my hardest to keep it down to a simple caption basis. A Glitch Tour, now that it has closed. The true beginning . . . the golden ticket! The loading screen. A planet, which as the game loaded, would populate with these trees/flowers/etc. As the game came [...]

Ah, Mondays. Woke up, and instead of making coffee and sitting down to email, as is my habit, I somehow found myself . . . doing dishes? Yes. Of course, “first thing in the morning” was actually . . . oh, 11:34. You’re giving me dirty looks. I know it. I suppose the day of [...]

A little bit of nerditude sad today. Last night I received word that the game Glitch was closing down. Glitch will be missed. It was a departure from the games which have flooded the market en masse. There was no shooting, no blowing people up, no violence (well, except a rook attack) . . [...]

Why, hello there! Bet you wondered where I was . . . we decided to take a last-minute minibreak. Well, I took a minibreak, and poor Knobby work work worked. But this was a better, not bitter, pill to swallow, since he woke up on the first morning of MY minibreak and discovered he’d been [...]

Hey there hi there ho there, There’s this little game that came out this week, called Diablo 3 (or, “III”, you know, whatever floats your nerdboat), and although I didn’t give it much thought in the years and years everyone spoke about it with grand reverence (didn’t play the first two), apparently we are playing [...]

Chit-chat, chit-chat. Knobby’s been working constantly lately — gets up, goes to the desk, takes a break to shower or fix a sandwich, back to desk, gets up to turn on the tv for the nightly 489263 games of hockey playoffs, sits and listens to those through the wall as he works till he goes [...]

Hmm. So today (Saturday), we decided that we could go ahead and set up Knobby’s computer in the office again, since we no longer need the house staged. And, honestly, because the weekend loomed very long without the prospect of computer distraction. He then spent the entire day playing Skyrim. The Entire Day. I sat [...]

What a day. First: Release Day! (I love this trailer!) Second: I feel like I should be very cautious in making claims just yet . . . (We still have to leap the hurdle of a home appraisal.) . . . but . . . . . . We have a buyer for our house! [...]

We had ourselves a little party this weekend. First, I had to drag the man from his office. A feat in and of itself. Then it was up one side . . . . . . and down the other. What, you thought you could have a nerd party and not have video games to [...]

Hi, where have I been? I am a Glitch addict. A few days ago, I received this . . . . . . and ever since, I’ve been working at this . . . (So frustrating — the screen snip makes this v.dark, but my hair and my shoes are a v.vibrant red in game.) [...]
