Pretty much ever since my house burned down I’ve been staying with Justin and John (a few friends of mine), all for the unspoken cost of me occasionally cooking when I have the chance. They’ve been incredibly wonderful and have never made me feel like I was in the way, even during moments when I probably was. I owe them a lot, hopefully someday I’ll find a way to pay them back. (Sexual favors??)

But man, they need some new kitchenware. Today I tried making eggs over easy with this.

This is, no joke, the best tool for the job in this house. Needless to say it was a complete disaster and I ended up having unintentional scrambled eggs instead.

My job for the day, I’ve decided, is to go to the store and buy a new spatuala for the house. A small step toward bringing my good friends out of their current neanderthal state of living.

(To be fair they’re not neanderthals, they just don’t seem to ever cook anything that needs a non retarded spatula.)

This is straight up copy/pasted from my blog over at N-Philes. 

Braid is not a new game. It was released on the 360 almost a year ago. But it just came out on the PC, which means it’s new to me.

For monetary reasons I’ve chosen to sit most of this generation out. I have a Wii and a PC, but I haven’t been able to force myself to spend the money on a 360 or PS3. Plus, my Wii hasn’t really gotten much play. For the most part I haven’t really felt like I’ve missed much, save for a few shining stars like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Little Big Planet, which I’ve had to weasel my way into friends houses to play.

Quite a few games this generation have begun their lives on consoles I didn’t have and drug their feet onto the PC. Which makes me happy not because I’m a PC snob, but because I actually own a PC. Well, Braid finally made its way onto Steam. My review can be summarized in three words.

Buy. This. Game.

It’s beautiful, especially if you’re a sucker for sprites like I am. The music is fantastic, the level design is great and the time shift puzzles are a blast to figure out. I’m not done playing it yet, but I feel pretty confident saying that it’s one of the best games in the last few years.

Buy it on the 360 or buy it on the PC. It’s even out on Mac, I think. Just do yourself a favor and buy the damn game.

Adding to my recent horrible string of bad luck, my car broke down today. So now my automobile is in some shop way across town while I continue staying at a friend’s place. Will it be fixed in time for school next week? What tomfoolery will Adam get into next? It’s starting to feel like I’m on a bad episode of Mr. Bean. Maybe I should go ahead and get my head stuck in a turkey and be done with it.

Oh well, I’ll just watch this over and over until I feel better.

But you do a great job of pretending you actually love me!

I’ve been presented with a VERY prestigious award over at Nintendo-G, and all I had to do to earn it was lose my house and my kitty cat!

Seriously though George, big thanks. It’s an oddly flattering thing, to be given an useless amazing internet award.
