Bonanza Bros. :: Video Game :: SEGA :: 1991 :: After detailing my fond memories of this early sneaking game to GruntLogic, he felt inspired to pick it up and see what it was all about—which gave me a chance to re-play it and relive the co-op glory with my now-older thumbs. While it wasn’t exactly the shining experience I had remembered, I can safely say I still had a blast running from...

:: Be Drunk You have to be always drunk. That’s all there is to it—it’s the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk.
But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk.
And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your...

Gemini Rue :: Video Game :: Wadjet Eye :: 2011 :: First things first: I am not a point-and-click adventure gamer. I have not played many of them, and if I have, I have not beat any of them. Enter Gemini Rue. It’s kind of a miracle that it even managed to catch my interest, but after watching the great preview, I knew there was something more to this sci-fi noir game. Right from the start, I...

Back from tour and feeling great, but I feel I left something behind and I feel I will look for it for quite a while. You can only see so many things, so many things are out of sight; you focus on the others or you focus on yourself.

The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema :: Film :: Fiennes :: 2006 :: Slavoj Žižek, who narrates this fascinating exploration and analysis of modern film, introduces to us this important idea: “Cinema is the ultimate pervert art. It doesn’t give you what you desire—it tells you how to desire.” In no time at all, and with a thick accent, Žižek expounds on the power of film to alter...

Deadwood :: Television :: HBO :: 2004 :: An epic, Shakespearian drama set in the settlement of Deadwood in the Black Hills of South Dakota, this series focuses on the will of humans to make their name and their living, each taking advantage of the complete freedom—or lawlessness—on a different moral spectrum. In Deadwood, those that seem the most evil may not be, and those that smile...

:: Solitude
Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. For the sad old earth must borrow it’s mirth, But has trouble enough of its own. Sing, and the hills will answer; Sigh, it is lost on the air. The echoes bound to a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go. They want full measure of all your pleasure,...
