Never Forget Your Horse Armor

Ten years ago today Bethesda defined bad downloadable content with two dollars and fifty cents’ worth of horse barding.

Widowmaker Aims To Kill In The Second Overwatch Animated Short

Thefirst bit of Pixar-quality Overwatch animation from Blizzard was touching. The second is downright chilling. Everybody’s favorite rear-end model co-stars in Widowmaker’s short story, attempting to stop the deadly assassin from taking out the metal face of the robot/human equality movement. It does not end the way I thought it would. Two down, two to…

When Ratchet Met Clank . . . Again

The first meeting between the Lombax mechanic and defective Warbot is much more dramatic in the Ratchet & Clank movie than it was in the game. It had to be, really.

I Ditched My Glasses For Virtual Reality

These are my eyes. Normally they are surrounded by thick frames with thicker glass. But now that virtual reality is a thing, I needed room on my face for other things. After nearly three decades I’m switching from eyeglasses to contacts. Note the lingering remnants of telltale red marks on the bridge of my nose.…
