So my health is not so good. Nothing I want to bore you with. If I complained every single time something went wrong with my health this blog would turn into a pathetic dribble of whining and bellyaching. None of us would enjoy that. I’m the unlucky sort to have been born with a low Constitution score. You could make the case that constitution is my dump stat. Not a wise way to distribute one’s points, but sadly we don’t really get a choice in the matter, do we?
Things took a bad turn for me a couple of weeks ago and I’m still recovering. Then my PC broke down a week later.
I was just patting myself on the back that I’d managed to get through these hardships undetected, without it lowering the quality of the content here. But I’ve noticed several posts from different people letting me know that I seem to be exceedingly grumpy, snarky, and profane in comparison to my usual self. So I guess I’m not as clever or as stoic as I’d hoped.
Ah well. Do try to enjoy this extra-spicy version of the site until I get back to normal.
At least I’m not going all emo on you. Er. Until just now.

Spider-Man
A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
