Just another geek with his own piece of the Internet and something to say.
This Friday I will lock myself in my home and find that comfortable “ass divot” on my sofa and take in light created from polarized liquid crystals. Actually it’s nothing really special; it’s like any other Friday night. However, this Friday night I’ll be more anxious than usual as, after a very long hiatus, Battlestar [...]
Did you ever wonder why the majority of scrolling Matrix code has Japanese Katakana characters in it? Well I’ll tell you why. It’s because the Japanese are crazy sons a bitches when it comes to robotics and artificial intelligence. Not only do I believe Japan has a secret army of Mobile Suit Gundams, but I [...]
So I know this guy … he recently downloaded the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates rom and conveniently loaded it into to his M3 adapter. Well unbeknownst to him, Square Enix had placed anti-piracy measures into the game that would reset the game and periodically display a screen that said, “Thank you for [...]
Usually when I head over to my local Gamestop these days, I see a bargain bin full of UMD movies at discount prices set up conveniently and pervasively to impede my path to the register. It’s really quite a somber sight; it’s like a product graveyard with assorted UMD movies just screaming to be rescued [...]
There’s a certain bit of enthusiasm I exert when it comes to geeky things. I’m sure my friends are aware of this; in fact, I believe it has reached the point to where my friends are almost desensitized to it. Whenever I come across a particular movie, TV series, book, or any other media that [...]

RE: Remember when we used to play WoW?
Sometimes I wish I could forfeit all of my skills and respecifiy my characteristics down a different skill tree. I think when my dice was rolled and my mom pushed that “Create character” button which launched me out of her uteris and split open her vaginal [...]
Listen up younglings. Back in my day, specifically 1992, we use to go to these ancient places called “Arcades.” In these arcades stood towering video game machines whose sole purpose was to extract quarters from you. There was one game in particular that I believe that I put so many quarters into that I could [...]
I hear by, from this day hence forth, declare that my Nintendo Wii haveth a new name. It will no longer be known as “AJ’s Nintendo Wii.” Instead it will be known as “AJ’s Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Sometimes Virtual Console Playing Device.” Or for those of you who are into mnemonic devices, you [...]
It looks like the job Gods are finally shinin’ their favor upon me. Not only do I have the opportunity to work in the video games industry — which has been a career dream of mine — but I have a chance to work with one of the most respected, creative studios in the industry: [...]
