  • Domain Dance Redux

    ā€”

    The domain dance is not quite done yet, but things are mostly working. As I wrote the other day, I decided to transfer my domains from GoDaddy to Name.com, and Iā€™m pretty happy with what I see of the interface of Name.com, and how easy it is to set up things (like MX records to…

  • Doing the Domain Dance

    ā€”

    More than anything else, this is just a notice that if this site should suddenly disappear, donā€™t worry, itā€™s not a repetition of the great site death of 2014.Ā  Iā€™ve used GoDaddy to register my domains for probably close to 10 years. The reason I went to them was because I came very close to…

  • Letā€™s Nihongo

    ā€”

    Iā€™m studying Japanese. Huh? Didnā€™t you just leave Japan? Yup, but you know what, Iā€™ve come to a lot of realizations since leaving just over 4 months ago, and one of them is that I want to (and in fact, need to) always stay connected with that country, whether Iā€™m physically there or not. Considering…

  • Game On, but Not for Everyone

    ā€”

    I recently attended theĀ ā€œGame Onā€ exhibition here in Montreal, and was disappointed by it. I did have high expectations, as it promised the inclusion of 100 games that were all playable, and although presented here at the Montreal Science Centre, it was originally devised by the Barbican.Ā  So whatā€™s wrong? The biggest issue I could…

  • Destiny

    ā€”

    ,

    I donā€™t usually revisit a game here, especially one that Iā€™ve owned for about a year, but a strange thing happened with Destiny. I had given up on it fairly early on, despite getting really excited for it after I played the Alpha release in the summer of 2014. I loved many aspects of the…

  • Pac-Man 256

    ā€”

    ,

    Iā€™m at a point where I very rarely play games on iOS these days, which is strange for me as I used to play tons of games that way, especially on iPad – it doesnā€™t help that my iPad 3 is finally showing its age, and I couldnā€™t even install the latest version of Duels…

  • Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris

    ā€”

    ,

    I liked the first Lara Croft game in this series, and although I was interested in playing Osiris, itā€™s only now that itā€™s come out as a PS+ free game that Iā€™ve gotten to play it. I havenā€™t had a chance to play co-op yet – which is where these games really shine – but…

  • Galak-Z

    ā€”

    ,

    Another game I was quite excited to finally get to play was the long awaited (mostly because I had been following its development) Galak-Z. I really liked Skulls of the ShogunĀ (from the same studio), and knew that this game would have a fantastic visual sense (which it does), but itā€™s also a joy to see…
