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:

Thou dost not protest
Dan Golding of Subject Navigator brought up a point that has played back in my mind quite frequently over the last four years (the amount of time I have been a vegetarian). Being a vegetarian opened up my eyes to … Continue reading
Birth of a role
This will likely be my last Fallout 3 post for a while. I want to share a series of impressions, then enjoy and chew on the game, to return when a more fruitful discussion can develop. Spoilers are not really … Continue reading
The Repair Bill
The first game I can recall playing that had equipment with durability is Diablo. At the time, it annoyed me more often than not and I did not see it as trying to immerse me in the world by putting … Continue reading
Post Mortem: The Darkness
There will be no specific bent to this entry, be warned. Instead, consider this my ‘review’ of The Darkness, which I completed early last week; you might also consider it a ‘debriefing.’ I’ve now had time to sit back, read … 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
Once upon a time, in a city that was labeled with the number 2
Imagination, story, writing, narrating: these are all words that describe my earliest loves. My aspirations as a child were three-fold. I wanted to be a father, contortionist, and writer. I’ve abandoned any progress on the first two, but the last … Continue reading
