  • Halo: Campaign Evolved-Mourning The Death of Nostalgia

  • Mina The Hollower: Existential Dread Of Hedonistic Lament

    There are times in life where everything seems to be going okay for once…and that’s it.

  • Gaming Skill Potential: Not All Players Are Created Equal?

    Not everything has to have a point, though that assertion might just be a chaotic musing that springs forth from the mind of a mad existentialist.

  • MKW: Self-Actualizing On The Race Track, One Blue Shell At A Time

    Not all who wander are lost… Others still, are just lost causes As I was finishing up “The Art of Losing” yesterday, the vibe it brought forth carried a certain finality to it, as if it was one of the last great insights I had the ability to muster, in sharing my deconstruction of Mario… Read more

  • Words Of Wisdom: Empathetic Objectification

    Perspective matters. One creature’s hiking trail is another creature’s lunch buffet Words of Wisdom has ventured into delightfully alien lands of conceptual earnesty these past several weeks, and I’m pleased that my broadcasting of observation made real through intent, of the format needing to become, for lack of more technically effective terminology, more “loosey-goosey“, was… Read more

  • Expedition 33: Something Beautiful, But Annihilating

    The march of time waits for no one, and yesterday’s standards becomes today’s exceptions.

  • Stranded At The Station of Indecision

    Given the state of the world as it stands, the only thing I can think of more terrifying than this year ending is next year beginning.

  • The Rogue Prince and Existential Self-Reflection

    I’m always of the mind one should have a higher calling than money, and a more virtuous pursuit than finance, but when one is constantly harangued to do nothing but chase a paycheck, the take away of aspiring to be anything but mercenary about life is hard to argue against. The irony of course, ends… Read more

  • Words of Wisdom: Uncomfortable Doesn’t Mean Not Good

    Sometimes, we are not always given the best of options.

  • Words of Wisdom: Adjusting Ratios

    Sun Tzu wrote: “Know your enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated.” Excellent advice: until you become the very enemyyou are fighing.
