Modern Warfare 3 Says NO to Zombies

Dec 04, 2011 No Comments by

When I first saw the commercial for Modern Warfare 3 featuring Jonah Hill, Sam Worthington, and Dwight Howard, I knew I had to buy it.  I had never been more electrified by an ad in my life.  With AC/DC blaring, guns firing, and grenades exploding, it is easily one of my favorite ads behind the Etrade baby and the [...]

Batman: Arkham City is Batass

Dec 03, 2011 2 Comments

I don’t usually play games.  My dad always said they’d fry my brain.  Now that I let alcohol and weed fry my brain, I figured it was time I got a PS3, and one of the first games I got was Batman: Arkham City.  In a word…it’s Batass. As a lifelong Batman fan, it was [...]

Why Fallout is Bad for my Drug Dealer

May 06, 2011 1 Comment

If your drug dealer is anything like mine, he probably lives a pretty sedentary lifestyle.  In college we called him Drunk Doug due to his penchant for drunkenly throwing large objects off of buildings, but his reputation for rampant alcoholism has stagnated as of late.  That’s not to say that rampant alcoholism is a good [...]

  • Comedic Errors of The Tempest May 8, 2013
    If embracing our own errors is so difficult, you can only imagine how difficult it is for us to embrace the errors of others. The Tempest displays this difficulty quite effectively. In the early going of The Tempest, it’s rather easy to despise Prospero. He displaces and enslaves Caliban, enslaves Ariel, and treats everything except […]

  • Comedic Errors of A Midsummer Night’s Dream May 8, 2013
    I have mentioned the “mechanicals” of A Midsummer Night’s Dream throughout these blogs, and there’s good reason. Their performance of Pyramus and Thisbe is a great example of how the errors of others can and should be embraced, but they aren’t the only ones to err in this play. Like the Comedy of Errors, A […]

  • Tragic Errors of King Lear May 7, 2013
    Unlike Hamlet, King Lear is the perfect example of a decisive leader but much more tragic. Hamlet loses everyone around him but is disgusted they’re alive. Lear sincerely loves his daughters when faced with Death, so losing them is all too tragic. But Lear learns something, which is why King Lear is the quintessential story […]

  • Tragic Errors of Hamlet May 4, 2013
    James Joyce’s Ulysses describes mistakes as “portals to discovery,” but very few of us, especially Americans, would describe mistakes in this way. Americans avoid error like the plague, and that again may be due to the commodification of our society. Alina Tugend’s Better By Mistake explains how this shared vision of error develops. “Our response […]

  • To Err is Shakespeare May 3, 2013
    William Shakespeare wanted us to make mistakes. He knew, both first-hand and through his writing, that error was the foundation for learning. But Shakespeare also recognized which errors were worth making and which errors could kill us. Shakespeare may have written to entertain, but he also wrote to educate. His audience consisted mostly of under-educated, [ […]
