The Devil Went Down to Queens, He was looking for a Marriage to Steal.

Spidey Retcon A Go-Go: O.M.I.T.
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

I have made it very clear, on many occasions, that I hate One More Day. Hate it. It threw out years of development and had Peter Parker act completely out of character, making a deal with (Marvel's Facsimile of) the Devil to save his 800 year old aunt. He sacrificed in this deal his loving, supportive wife, MJ, to save a woman that has been on death's door for 20 years. Hell, Aunt May 'died' once about 20 years ago and Peter grieved and moved on fine then. Oh but I forgot, this was all mandated (and written) by the Editor-in-Chief because he hated the marriage. But I digress...

Taking care of business and working overtime

Well, yesterday was an interesting day.

I work in an office with 2 other people (well, and the bosses). They both have one day a week off. I work a full, 5 day week. I also work the late shift, begining around noon.
Anyway, one of the people I work with is pregnant and very near her due date. She called me yesterday at 7:30 AM and said that she couldn't make it in. It also happened to be the other person's day off. The thing is, that person said they will not give up their day off when the other is on maternaty leave. (Whatever, she has her reasons, not a big deal. I'm not that upset about it.) The bosses said they would cover on the one day a week that person is off.
...The problem is my bosses don't do the day to day work and don't come into the office that often, meaning they have no idea how to do the work they are covering.
Long story short, I worked from 8 AM to 8PM yesterday. I ran the entire office and did most of the work myself.
I am so happy it's friday. Yesterday sucked.

Inner Voice

If you know me, you know I am a Conan O'Brien fan, and I'm not really that big of a Leno fan. That said, I found this hilarious.

This is my private life, come and get me out of here.

Yeah, I just realized I don't really write about my self that much. Looking over my last few posts, I have 2 game reviews, a promise of a TV review, and a draft of an album review. Aside from that, all my posts have been about me making a video, one that I may never release now. So a total of 1 post was about me, and that was me bitching about work.

Who am I? Well, I'm hoping to shed some light on that. I've decided to write about more than just some media I've consumed and spit out my opinion on. I've realized looking back how little of me is actually on here. Sure, I typed out my thoughts on things, but everyone can do that (and they do on the likes of amazon and other sites).

I figure I'll write a bit more about my life from now on, along with the reviews. I'll throw in things I find on the web that I like. All in all though, I plan to inject into this blog something it needs, personality, and even more importantly, some fun.

Stop. Collaborate and listen, Ice is back with a brand new invention.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories - Reinventing what wasn't broken.

I love Silent Hill. It's probably my favorite game franchise. I like it so much that when I realized I missed 3 somehow, (I rented it but never actually bought it) I paid $60 for a sealed copy on ebay. In 2010. $60 for a PS2 game.

So yeah, I really love this series, and because of that, I had been following Shattered memories for a long time. Everything about it just kept getting better and better. From the interesting concept (re-imagining of the 1st game) to the game altering depending on your personality, to the numerous accolades it received from gaming publications. Then came Phelous's review...

The Waiting is the Hardest Part.

Okay, so I said I was going to finish my review last weekend...yeah...

I forgot it was easter weekend. I ended up being pretty busy, including going up to Canada to my grandparent's house for Easter dinner. I am on call this weekend, so I'll work on it then, since I'll have a lot of down time.

Sorry to all 0 of you reading this.

Better Off Dead

Deadly Premonition, Or How I learned to stop worrying and just enjoy the ride.

Deadly Premonition is a game that is getting a lot of surprise buzz lately, mostly in part to Destructoid's bizarre 10/10 review. Believe it or not, based on that review and some positive word of mouth, I decided to take a chance on it.

I proudly plucked a copy off of the GameStop shelf and marched up to the counter, my $20 in hand. The Clerk looked at me funny and asked if I had heard anything about the game. I told him that I had heard it was "Really bad, but really fun." He just nodded and said, "Hmm...I guess there's much worse ways to spend $20..." He gestured towardss a clearance table with a used $19 copy of MGS4 and continued "... but there are much better ways too." What he didn't realize, is he couldn't have been more wrong.
