A great excuse for a rewatch. I was so upset when SyFy cancelled the show that I refused to watch the channel for a long time.

This random music junkie thinks his albums are excellent. The new one’s a banging genre trip through blues, rock, punk, reggae and r&b. It’s on his official youtube if you want a preview. I highly encourage folks to check it out.

I had a hard time with family holiday dinners until I started bringing a dish of my own to share. My dad especially seemed to take it as a personal insult that I didn’t want to partake in the usual ham and turkey repast.

All these years later, the memory of the Meat Circus level from Psychonauts still gives me phantom game rage. 

Great video and article! My only disagreement was with the advice to pet the cat at the base of its tail. I’d never do that to a cat I didn’t know. Most cats do like it, but that’s a very sensitive spot and can make a cat go from 0-60 on the stimulation scale in a couple seconds. Overstimulated cats are more apt to

The Buddhist Three Gates thing “Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?” is something I try to keep in mind when speaking/replying. Considering I have a dark sense of humor it’s tricky sometimes, haha.

I was hoping that a miracle would happen and the Powers That Be would look the other way on this one as they did on the KotOR 2 restoration mod. Everyone knew it was a long shot though. It was fun to watch the Apeiron livestreams and see the reveals of Bastila, T3, and Malak and just get excited about the game again

I can’t help but immediately think of EA’s consumption of Bioware and worry. We need good independent studios out there.

This is the first WD season I didn’t pre-order because last season was good, but it didn’t blow me away. I feel conflicted now. On one hand I didn’t support the game, on the other... phew?

I was really rooting for Zach McGowan. I’m trying to get my mind around Cavill in the role. Not there yet, but I’ll definitely be watching the show so we’ll see. I hope he delivers.

Looooove Maiden’s version of Cross Eyed Mary!

I’m quite fond of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ covers. “Long Black Veil” is the very first Nick Cave song I heard so of the many covers he’s done it’s my fav. He and Neko Case also did a great cover of The Zombies’ “She’s Not There.”

Now playing

The Blonde did some great covers. I love their version of Hendrix’s Little Wing, too.

That he channeled Bush Jr praising Brownie on the anniversary of Katrina made it extra sucky.

I don’t doubt the cats are having an impact and I support responsible pet guardianship, but I also don’t like seeing cats turned into the scapegoats for all that’s wrong with wildlife conservation? It’s a complicated issue for sure, but I’d venture that humans decimating wildlife habitat (and being unwilling to alter

Someone pass the Dramamine, ha! I get serious motion sickness from first person games, but I’m determined to play this. Looks amazing.

YES. Cats are not dogs. A simple truth that seems obvious, but it’s soooo easy for people to have the wrong expectations when they bring a cat into their lives. I’ve worked with cats for 19 years and the more I know about them, the more I realize that every time you get comfy in that knowledge a cat will surprise you.

I don’t wear them as much, but I do have an absurdly large collection of concert tees that I can’t make myself get rid of.

I tried many times over the span of a decade to quit smoking and failed. The day I started vaping - August 6, 2015 - I stopped smoking for good and haven’t wanted a cigarette since. It really was a light switch moment for me. It sounds cheesy but the sheer relief I felt knowing that I’d found a solution was huge. I
