GH likes to reinvent himself every couple of months. I've become quite the detective when it come to tracking him down.

We get a lot of the same weather, Maine and Nova Scotia aren't that far apart.

I knew the deer were going through the yard, because I'd seen their tracks in the snow, I just wasn't expecting them at 9 AM. They use the line of trees separating our field from the neighbors field as a wildlife corridor, wchich means they go right past my cottage, as the cottage is about eight feet from the trees.

My boyfriend had Panzer General and played it a lot when we first got the PS1. I think he sold the game, though.

Happy endings. We like them.

I once took a calculator to the local convenience store and "did the math" for them. I got my penny back. It wasn't so much that I needed that penny as it was the principle of the whole thing.

Preaching to the choir about Anita Sarkeesian.

Have fun at PAX East. I forgot about it until it was too late. Pretty sad, because I only live about two and a half hours away from Boston and could have taken the train down.

I think your comment was better than my blog. Good article, thank you for linking it. I hadn't really done a whole lot of thinking about it from that perspective, but it does make things go "click" in my head. I am just old enough to remember the last year or two of Vietnam in the news and friends of my parents and uncles coming back. It seems like we were less gung-ho about Vietnam than we are about the current "war on terror". Thanks for giving me something to mull over.

Jason knows an awful lot about guns, too, and he learned it in the stacks in the library. That's not really the point I was trying to make, though. I was wondering why devs can't come up with something better than just shooting the billy bejeesus out of everything. I like the concept of being able to deal with conflict in story telling in a way that doesn't make you have to do battle every 15 seconds or so. I also have my moments where I do want to blow crap up and shoot so many holes in things that they resemble swiss cheese.

Game Informer has ridiculously tiny font and whoever made that decision should be tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. So no, it's not your eyes.

I love the idea of fighting games with squeaky hammers and pillows for weapons. I might actually play one then, lol.

I do remember those blogs and I thought they were great.
