Once again I strive to meet the insatiable public demand for videogame jokes, architectural engineering analysis, and poetry.
(I was going to do a Dramatic Reading of the poem, as with Boris Karloff in the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but then I decided to play Mass Effect instead.)
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
Project Frontier
A programming project where I set out to make a gigantic and complex world from simple data.
Chainmail Bikini
A horrible, railroading, stupid, contrived, and painfully ill-conceived roleplaying campaign. All in good fun.
Crash Dot Com
Back in 1999, I rode the dot-com bubble. Got rich. Worked hard. Went crazy. Turned poor. It was fun.
Fable II
The plot of this game isn't just dumb, it's actively hostile to the player. This game hates you and thinks you are stupid.
