The Golden Ticket

Posted on Sunday, December 3rd, 2006, at 7:43 AM

After missing out a couple times, when I heard Target was getting Wiis this morning I made damn sure to get there early. Damn early. Too early, as it turned out, because when I rolled up at 5:30 a.m. there was no one there. Rather than sit outside in the frigid cold, alone, I decided to risk holding off a …

An Adventure in Increments

Posted on Saturday, December 2nd, 2006, at 4:32 PM

And so, after many trials and tribulations, our heroes managed to finally release eChef 1.1. Peace and joy spread across the kingdom, and there was prosperity for generations to come.

The 1.1 release doesn’t have a lot of fancy new features. There are a few bug fixes, but thankfully we haven’t found very many things that need fixing. The …

My Kingdom for a Wii

Posted on Thursday, November 30th, 2006, at 10:17 PM

My condition is certainly not due to lack of trying. The night of the launch …

Fun with BillMonk

Posted on Wednesday, November 15th, 2006, at 2:08 PM

One of my roommates was out of town over the weekend, and he left some fruit behind. It was going to go bad while he was gone, so I took advantage of the situation.

Unfortunately, it seems you can’t add an image to something in another person’s library.

Gotta love BillMonk. ...

Site Tweaks

Posted on Monday, November 6th, 2006, at 5:55 PM

I finally added the obligatory links page, swapping it in where the link to JUOD was up in my little link bar. If you want to be all Web 1.0 and do a link swap or whatever, you know where the comments go.

I also added a favicon to the site: . It’s a …

The Final Countdown

Posted on Monday, November 6th, 2006, at 4:58 PM

I swear I didn’t intentionally start this string of post titles just so I could use this last one—but it worked out nicely, didn’t it? Here are parts one and two for reference.

Andrew’s Complete Wii Buying Guide (Part 3)

Ah, the proverbial “Quirky Japanese” genre of games. Some of my all-time favorites have come from it! But …

The Countdown, Continued

Posted on Saturday, November 4th, 2006, at 3:37 PM

As promised, here is the continuation of The Countdown, beginning with my third game choice. This also marks the point in my list from which I will not be buying the games at launch, but only after I’ve expended a great deal of attention on games 1 and 2 (Zelda and Red Steel). And if possible, I’ll wait until reviews emerge …
