Speaking of. . .
A selection of the more interesting or amusing posts. Gamerscore Discrimination a Home Network Revival Story A Steak that Bites - THE Fracas @ Top Gear the Apple iPhone "Slide to Accept" Mystery. . . the Other Side of the Reporter's Pad Relationships of the Freelace Writer The Internet -- and the World Wide Web specifically -- has radically altered the world of the freelance writer. To the detriment of that profession. Secrets Inside of Secrets The hidden objects found in video games are called "Easter Eggs" but the reason -- the origins -- of this label and practice are surprisingly something of a mystery despite the relatively young age of the practice. First Impressions of Microsoft's Xbox One Game and Entertainment Console Into that hostile environment our brave and attractive assistant and personal care-giver Yvonne (who also serves as the enabler to our gaming addiction and the facilitator of obtaining our Zero-Day Fix for new game consoles this stellar Fall of 2013) was being dispatched upon a mission. Upgrading to the newest Apple Operating System - iOS 7 Because one of my day jobs is being a columnist for the Business and Tech Section of the Cape Cod Times, I was not surprised to receive an invitation last month to download a pre-release version of the new OS early. Speaking of. . . the Ghost in the Machine Let me tell you the one thing that I learned from watching these shows - the region of England that is called “The Midlands” is a dangerous place! You want to avoid that part of the UK like the plague, stay away! People DIE there! A lot! Speaking of Freedom to Choose to be Patted Down? Let me put it this way: If a TSA agent feeling you up at an airport security checkpoint is a necessary step in assuring the safe flight of the plane you will be a passenger on, then grope away! Winning! Speaking of the Boston Marathon Bombings Why you should try not to post long and complicated broadsides that argue moral points when you are still angry about the subject you are writing about; How in a shocking surprise I find myself willing to entertain the notion that the world just might reap significant benefits when people who perpetrate horrific acts of violence are summarily executed. Speaking of when the Law goes Too Far We live in a world in which placing the blame is often more important than fixing the problem, and based upon the events that are unfolding in Western Pennsylvania and its border state, Ohio, over the past week, the case of Butler County v. Punxsutawney Phil Sowerby Speaking of Agent 47 Absolution is not only the 5th game in the main series, but also presents the wrapping up of basically all of the plot, story, and sub-plot elements for the previous four titles in the series Speaking of . . . Time No writer -- at least no freelancer -- complains about not having time with any seriousness to the complaint, because not having time means that they are working -- that they are earning... And that is not a subject that freelance writers joke about. Speaking of . . . Pokemon Most gamers think that the Pokemon series began with the anime TV show Pokemon, but that is not what happened. The question of the chicken and the egg is no question at all in the case of Pokemon -- as the original game that started it all, Pokemon Green, came first Speaking of . . . Vegas Stories "Lemme help!" he slurs, and then loses control and falls on top of me, then begins to flail around as his sober companion tries to get him off of me. With the assistance of another man who is entering the bathroom they get this drunk off of me, and I finally get a good enough look at him to recognize him. I don't know him personally, but I know who he is. . . Fall Feelings That was the thought floating in my head when I realized from the number of warm lumps pressed against me that, at some time in the night, my dog Calvin and our three cats, Pixel, Midnight, and Lightning, had joined me on the bed. FFXIV... First Impressions First impressions of the new Final Fantasy MMO that I suspect was released a tad on the premature side... Speaking of...

Halo MCC: Achievements Run Amok Ghosts and the Paranormal in Video Games The question of ghosts and the paranormal is simply not that easily managed because there are a lot of people out there that firmly believe in them, believe that they have seen some, and believe that they know what it is that they saw. I am not one of those people — but at the same time I am also not one of the people who say that ghosts do not exist because the bottom line is… I don’t know. Judging Gears of War: Judgement Bearing in mind that the Developers went out of their way to communicate the fact that Judgement was not to be a full-length game, was definitely NOT to be considered Gears of War 4, and was meant to be a fusion of 3/4 prequel and 1/4 wrap-up from GoW 3 and there is no room whatsoever for confusion, right? Well… Not so much really. Star Wars Kinect offers gamers a Free Gift Let's face it, the world is not filled with enough free gifts -- certainly not as full of free gifts as we would like anyway -- so when one comes along, even one that encourages you to use the special printer at work that can print really large sheets of paper using a wicked expensive wax-based color-jet printing tech that costs some obscene amount of money (23 September 2007) |
