A friend is throwing a Halloween party this Saturday. I plan to dress up as Luke Cage. I'm planning to wear a yellow shirt and I bought materials (foam sheets, wire, fabric paint) to make the circlet and wrist cuffs he wears in the comics. This is my first time attempting to do DIY accessories but the woman at…

Right now I'm waiting to board a flight to Fort Lauderdale for a weekend with hubs. On deck for the flight will be Super Smash Bros 4, Theatrhythm: Curtain Call, and/or maybe Chrono Trigger DS. Or maybe I'll take a nap, I'm going off 4 hours of sleep here.

Just an FYI, Gertrudestein's post is a quote from an episode of Seinfeld (said by some art gallery patrons while looking at a painting of Kramer), so they may or may not be serious.

Congrats!

Hooray this shit

They made a new Punch-Out! in 2010. All the ethnic stereotypes are there, although I found them more amusing than offensive. YMMV. https://www.youtube.com/wat… Game developers are finally stepping it up when comes to including original black heroes. The new Watch Dogs will have a black protagonist and they even had a…

As much as I hate Konami for abandoning their gaming franchises, Kojima shares some of the blame for MGSV being released incomplete. The game is fucking huge, I think I put in 40 hours and I haven't even reached the end of Chapter 1 yet (I put it down months ago). You can spend hours taking outposts, recruiting…

Limbaugh is starting to sound like a literal troll who lives under a bridge. Not just because of what he said, but how he sounds too.

Nope, I'm black and a nerd.

It wasn't as cringey as I expected. Not good, but not embarrassingly bad. Also, I can't be the only person who was surprised to see some actual black people.

Well she's not lying about Fayetteville

Wario Ware the musical? I'm going to have to check this out!

I've been all about Paper Mario: Color Splash this week. The visuals are great, the music is catchy, and it has a good sense of humor. The battle system isn't as great as the M&L games, but I do use a fair amount strategy selecting cards so I can take down enemies in one turn. Everyday I can't wait to get home and…

I like that your 8 year old is already old enough to have strong opinions about Paper Mario games.

Fuck Hurricane Matthew. My dad was flooded out of the place he was staying. I've offered to let him stay with me temporarily, an offer I'm starting to regret.

I've been trying to make a simple game for the iPhone and I finally got past a bug that was driving me crazy for 5 days!

Some streets in Portland share names with Simpsons characters. I remember seeing a "Flanders" and "Lovejoy" street when I was there. I have no idea if the streets came first or the show did.

Oh not at all. I grew up with the obtuse clues and poor translations of Zelda 1 & 2. We eventually made our way through those, even with the save function being broken on our copy of Zelda 2! Still other kids weren't quite as dedicated.

Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) Thanks to both The Breakfast Club and that Futurama episode. Makes me think of high school and the weird feeling of knowing I wouldn't be seeing most of these people again.

I wrapped up my playthrough of Twilight Princess HD last night. I spent a bit of time gathering Heart pieces, taking on the Cave of Ordeals (finished!), Cave of Shadows (womp womp), and capturing bugs before deciding I'd had enough. The final dungeon wasn't nearly as long as I remember although I got stumped on the…
