Monkey: Journey To the West

Journey to the west is a sweeping, beautiful, and quite often, funny work of ambient music from Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, creators of Gorillaz.

The Gamestop Bargain Bin

I’m a bit of a retro gamer, but I almost always try to play great games if I’m going to play anything. There are always a few titles a year that I jump on when they’re released, but some give me pause to wait till they hit that venerable Bargain Bin. Truly great games usually never [...]

Beck: Modern Guilt

Sunday, July 20, 2008

You don’t really need me to explain who Beck is. Chances are you’ve heard plenty of tracks from him over the many years he’s been recording. But let me ask you: who do you think Beck is? I usually ask myself this question about an artist before I write a review for their newest album, [...]

What the hell is wrong with Microsoft

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

In concerns of the Xbox 360, I have never had much to complain. It has more games than most consoles, yet doesn't feel bloated with crap like the PS2 or PSOne did...

Consonance

Sunday, July 13, 2008

I haven't written for myself in ages. It's a strange thing trying to put your mind on paper - or the internet - when you haven't in so long...
