Three Year Old RetroGaming: Psychonauts
Shame on every gamer out there with the means that bypassed Psychonauts.
I’ve recently been playing this game on the xbox 360. It’s an original xbox game but it works fine, minus a couple of non-show-stopping glitches here and there.
This is a fantastic game.
Where does he get those wonderful toys?
As is typical for me when I do one of these web journal thingies (I’ve grown to loathe the term ‘blog’ ever since the mainstream media heard the word and became fascinated with it), I become as interested… or more interested… in the toys that come along with it.

Time: 24:50ish. Around an 8:15 pace per mile.
This was the first of my training runs. Okay, so technically I’m starting the training a month early in an attempt to ‘game the system’. Competitive? [...]
Let’s Try This Again
So here’s the deal. I’m a bad web journal keeper. I know this. I also apparently have not learned, for I am going to give it yet another try.
I’ve hidden this off my front page. It’s not a centerpiece. It’s… nothing. It’s a place to write. Sometimes. [...]
