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.

Hush, little baby
It may be hard to believe, but I’m an opinionated person. Something with which I’ve always had difficulty is not saying certain things that come to my head–a trait I learned fairly early on when I first lived in the … Continue reading
Between You and I
What is the purpose of dialogue? Generally, we use it to convey information on some level, to exchange ideas and advance one topic or a range of topics. Of course, this does not happen all the time; any time two … Continue reading
