Steady now, your genetic code is being rewritten.
The Xbox 360 demo for BioShock came out last night (a PC demo is in the works), and I tried it out for a little less than an hour. Key discoveries: It’s awesome. It looks like it may be able to live up to most of the hype it’s been getting. They weren’t lying when…

Life in These United States
The two big stories on Yahoo news today: The Chinese executive in charge of a company that distributed lead-tainted toys to the US has killed himself. Whereas Karl Rove just resigned. Just sayin’.

Six and a half minutes of the hunter
I’m one more movie closer to death, since I saw The Night of the Hunter last night. And it’s at least a dozen kinds of awesome. A movie like this is really difficult for me to describe. Something like His Girl Friday is easy: it’s timeless, just as cool today as it was 67 years…

You can’t go WOOF WOOF WOOF again.
For this vacation, the family’s been indulging me in a bunch of nostalgia trips. The other day was The Georgia Aquarium, which is tough to be nostalgic for seeing as how it only opened a few years ago, but it was my first time back in downtown Atlanta in a long time. For the record:…

I don’t know much about power-ups, but I know what I like
I’m going to take a short break from not updating my award-winning* series of posts about storytelling in videogames, because the whole “Are videogames art?” debate has flared up again this week. People are already tired of the debate, and for good reason. But I can’t tell if people are tired of it because they…
