I make videos for Kotaku. I make video games for myself and my friends. I like writing fiction. Someday I will publish a novel. Who knows!

i can sort of understand your accusations, though it's not the "too long" criticism that confuses me. it's the "op-ed" part. that is just such a serious term. i know that, on some level, all op-eds involve the writer laughing at him/herself or some aspect of the world, though i don't imagine they're laughing as Read more

seriously, pokemon is a world where most people (well, all the cool people, anyway) have six pets with them at all times — and hundreds! more in storage — and it's okay to bring pets into department stores and public transit. how pleasant could that be? i'm pretty sure it'd be awful. Read more

man, you must be crunching some psychedelic cereal to look at this article and then feel not absolutely balls-to-walls clown-shoe ridiculous when accusing it of being "too long" for an "op-ed" :-/ Read more

i just . . . couldn't give up that much of my living space. Read more

actually, i've been telling people for years that my "blog schtick" is to write like seanbaby, and then delete the punchline off the end of every paragraph. i do this a lot! i type a final sentence, lol quite vigorously at it, and then cut it off. Read more

oh no maybe i'm bad at internetting after all :( Read more

i wanted to mention this in my article, though i was too afraid of skim-reading commenters immediately hitting their favorite forum with news flashes of "look at this jerkoff who hates earthbound". and i certainly wouldn't have wanted that! Read more

hmm. i don't know how to come back to your comment. usually, People Like You say "NO ONE READS THESE ARTICLES" and it's easy for me to come back immediately with "i'm sure no one reads these articles because they're all busy reading your comments". Read more

by which i mean, i lolled like a psychopathic fairy while typing the "life musings" parts. the part about running marathons and your sweat smelling like dog food around mile fifteen — how can you not think that's hilarious? i could barely steady my hands to continue typing. Read more

the interior of an unplugged refrigerator, months after the owner of the house died and the cops confiscated all the fruits and vegetables therein. Read more

except even these purported "incorrect" uses of parentheses are mathematically sound! i would know — i count them before closing out a paragraph. Read more

wait, what? you appreciate this article as an effort (perhaps of mine) to leverage what you perceive as my "insanity", and then you . . . consider the "musings on life" as exposure of some privileged jerk? so you almost spot the satire in one aspect, and then totally miss it in the other? how does that feel? man, did Read more

seriously, since when have i not been able to spell? Read more

that is true! i sure don't say anywhere that apple is the only company making multi-touch trackpads. just that apple's is the one i encountered first and thought about. Read more
