Red Matter/Roman Watchdogs/Wine/Her Crimson Love @ The Griffin

I’m a multifaceted geek.  So when my friends from the band Red Matter told me that they were gonna play at The Griffin, how could I say no?  I wasn’t disappointed.  I got to hear some amazing bands play, had some good times, got pretty smashed…and Her Crimson Love is a dope band.  Too bad…

To all the people that think that violence in videogames incites IRL violence, I’ve got one picture for you.

This is getting ridiculous.  Since I’ve been gaming, I’ve never killed anyone, shot anyone, used Omnislash on Sephiroth, thrown hadoukens at Sakura, casted Cure on Rinoa, stomped on a goomba, killed Dracula, fought Metal Gear Rex in an abandoned missile disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island, and…. You get the picture. There is no link…

Fuck Tonberries.

Creepy-ass tonberries.  With their stabby knives, beady eyes, and….lamp.  Well.  I’ve got something for you.  Say hello to my little friends.  

An Anime Conji plug, among other things.

  Anime Conji.  San Diego’s only anime convention.  You might be wondering what a small website like ours has to do with this anime convention?  Well…a few things. For one thing, I’m one of the volunteer coordinators.  And yes, we are recruiting.  Interested?  Sound off in the comments, and I WILL RESPOND.  Serious. The volunteer…

So who’s up for another season of “Monogatari” madness?

Assassin’s Creed 3 Post-Game Write Up – If the world doesn’t end, we know who to thank.

Assassin’s Creed 3?  The game experience was good, but the game doesn’t hint at any closure at all.  Well, sorta.  After beating the game I felt…unsatisfied.  If they’re planning on releasing sequels to ACIII, then…. GODDAMNIT UBISOFT, STOP THAT SHIT AND JUST FINISH THE DAMN STORY! In the end, Assassin’s Creed 2 is still my…
