Summary:
Hi, my name is Denis. I originally started this blog over at Blogger in July 2008. I tend to write a lot about videogames, and have made various rounds of the web. Was formerly a staff writer for both GayGamer and The Border House. This blog serves to explicate my thoughts on any number of issues, not solely focused on videogames anymore (though they still make up the majority).Search:

Two Cogs in a Gear
Here there be spoilers. In order to convince us that there exists some talent for storytelling and emotion-pulling at Epic Games, there seems to be more attempt at pulpy substance in Gears of War 2. Within the first hour we … Continue reading

Redfield Re-worded
I don’t like being judgmental, but somehow, no matter how much I edited and thought about the post I wrote about the Chris Redfield Flash game yesterday, I feel that my tone may have been. If it was, I apologize–that … Continue reading
