In order to avoid grading papers, I’ve decided to write about grading papers. This procrastination logic will make sense to everyone I know that grades papers. There are a few ways to grade papers, each technique changing according to the time of year, what the teacher ate for dinner, the weather, how tired … Read more
Modern Warfare 2: Impressions
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 asks a simple question. Can a video game cause an emotional reaction? I’ve been sad before, by playing a game. I’ve been a bit upset, a bit bothered, a bit concerned about the characters. But it takes a ton of stuff to get me to care about actions in … Read more
10 PM Podcast: Out. Door. Shampoo. Towel. Edition
The game: Halo 3, ODST. Is it good? What is the campaign like? What is FireFight like? Is it worth $60? And when did ExtremeTaco get a girlfriend?

The 10 PM Podcast: E3 Edition
Welcome to another edition of the 10 PM Podcast. No, I still have no idea why I’m calling it “10 PM”. I sort of think that I came up with it during a dream, as I was laying in bed thinking about ways to figure out and lock down my Internet fame. This week, I … Read more
The All New 10 PM Podcast: An Afternoon with DJ Datz
Welcome to the all new, somewhat but not really improved 10 PM Podcast. No, I have no reason at all to call it the 10 PM podcast besides the fact that this is the internet, and you can do whatever the hell you want to. This week, I got the chance to skype up with … Read more
Saying Goodbye to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
