Because why not, I thought I’d share my favorite opening and closing anime themes for the last year. To simplify this, I broke it down to favorite OP and ED for each season, plus a year-wide Honorable Mention for each. This is strictly based on personal preference out of the themes for series I watched, with a little…
Hey, I’m Matt, a/k/a umrguy42, and this is my TAY Secret Santa Gift Guide. I’m terrible at this “describe yourself” stuff, so, bear with me.
For the TAY Summer Photography Club. From my recent Disney World vacation.
Random and silly... a few of my favorite ALL THE THINGS! memes.
Matt Sayer had a great article on why he’s a fan of the LEGO video games as a space (and money) saver over the real thing. Like him, I’m totally onboard with Traveller’s Tales’ series of licensed games. I’ve played at least some part of most of them, and own almost all of the ones released for consoles/PC. (If only I…
I started following Deadspin’s “Adequate Man” sub-site from the beginning, intrigued by the idea of “let’s have some articles on how to be adequate at things”. Naturally, this has since devolved into other random stuff, but I was inspired to explore the topic of what an “adequate man” should have in his (or her)…
Warning: The following is not directly game or anime related, and might be a bit depressing.
Howdy all. I’m Matt, a/k/a umrguy42 (that’s UMR-guy-42). That’s also my PSN, twitter, and Steam handles (actually, Steam my have “psn-umrguy42” or something like that, cuz I created it using Portal 2 on PS3 first, but whatever). Most places you see that handle around, it’s probably me. Disqus, Wordpress, several along…
In 2011, Traveller’s Tales and LucasArts released LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, based on the animated series. It received generally meh reviews (averaging about a 6.5/10) from critics, but I’m here to say: the heck with those guys. This thing was fun, and a big step forward in LEGO games.
(As a first reference, many of the best stories can be found in The Best BCO stories of 2014 post.)
So, although I haven’t put together a mix CD in a while, on my drive home today, my wandering mind decided maybe I should do a mix of great soundtrack songs. Then I decided to put some rules on it:
So my son's watching Sprout, and there's this episode of Thomas and Friends (showing as I type, but I caught it before the other day), where Emily winds up making a helluva mess by trying to put flowers all over the quarry (and causing accidents with Edward and Thomas as a result) in order to cheer up Mavis - all…
Reposting, as I never got a reply from a few days back: Did the LEGO Lord of the Rings game release get pushed back two weeks? Amazon claims it's coming on 11/14 now, last I'd heard it was 10/30...

I never thought I'd say this, but honestly, the previous version of Kinja was better than this - I could at least navigate through it, even if it was a pain in the butt. This one, you guys made it even worse...

I'm wondering if it needs some tinkering (the staff here did say that Kinja is still being tinkered with) - I'm seeing individual posts that have an @whoever at the top, and I'm seeing threads where certain comments are not shown - for example, in this story: http://kotaku.com/5926754/confessions-of-a-teenage-sexist…
Anyone else noticing that after an initial flood of comments from the Kotaku editors after Kinja came out, about how they wanted to engage more in "discussions" with us, that it sure looks like the flood has dried up to naught more than a small trickle? I haven't even seen their "water cooler" posts since last week,…
