Ladies, I don’t know how it is for you in the restroom, but cheese and rice, it’s a jungle for us civilized men in a world full of apes that somehow escaped from the set of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

If you’ve been caught up in the TV show LOST, you’ll come to recognize this as a recurring catch phrase offered by various members of the cast. I recently had the pleasure of plowing through all six seasons of this head scratching, brilliant show and wanted to share my thoughts on it. I will attempt to keep the spoilers to a minimum for those of you who haven’t seen LOST and intend to in the future. For those of you who have seen it and want to discuss it in detail, feel free to private message me.
What’s one thing most, if not all, Facebook users have in common? Besides being a reliable source of informing me on what day it is via status updates, most of my Facebook friends have played at least one Zynga game. If you have, congratulations, you’ve just made the journey into playing “Advertisement, The Game.”
Looking back, as old men in my thirties often do, we tend to see things in a new light. Time spent, for example, in obsessing over completing impossible, poorly designed video games and chalking it up to the naive concept that “it’s just challenging.”
If I learned anything from Howard the Duck, it’s that you should always keep a large neutron disintegrator strapped to a golf cart in your garage just in case dark overlords from an alternate dimension want to take over your body.

I was rehashing some nostalgia recently by watching episodes from Star Trek: Original Series and realized that some of them should have remained buried.
Life is good. That is, it was until the “Creator Of All That Is Evil” plopped my house down next to an active volcano to make room for the seventeen bingo parlors he placed side by side down the main stretch of road. It’s really not all bad. There’s a mini-golf venue right across the street from me; it blends right in with the speakeasy and coal power plant. Fun for the whole family.

Lately I’ve been writing a lot of reviews about games…board games, video games, what have you. I know that turns a lot of you off…*shrug* different audiences, different interests. Anyway, some people look at games as a mild annoyance and a waste of time while others center their entire weekend around one long, good dungeon crawler. What is it about games that makes ME want to play them? I’m so glad you asked…
