Oh hey.
It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to do this. I might’ve forgotten how. Updates to come, once I get around to re-reading the manual.

Battlestar Galactica retold in 16-bit RPG format
If there’s one problem with Battlestar Galactica being so good, it’s that long after you’re done watching the last episode, you’ll happily lap up any opportunities to discuss, relive, regurgitate or consume the remnant breadcrumbs of BSG.
This video is brilliant if you’ve completed the series (see: reference to “in-spaceship debates as a form of...

Favourite Albums Of 2011
As one would expect around this time of the year, the internet is rife with “Best of everything” lists. Pitchfork and Stereogum bibles be damned!
This isn’t so much a Best Of list than it is a list of favorites. Every year, there only seems to really be 4-5 albums that you’ll continue listening to as the years pass on. These few are the ones that’ll probably make...

Onwards, for sure. The upwards needs some work.
It’s been almost a year since I swapped a full-time day job for a full-time freelance gig. If there’s one thing I quickly discovered, the idea of being able to wake up daily at 11am and spend the rest of afternoon on the PS3 while work miraculously sorts itself out turned out to be a complete myth. The notion of freelancing being very “free” is quickly disproved by the...

Playlist: Best Of 2011
Whoa. Playlist roll? Playlist roll, betches.
On a side note, there’s a nostalgic comfort in coming up with playlists on 8tracks. It harkens back to high-school years where all you really needed to preoccupy yourself on a Sunday afternoon was a notepad, a 2-deck radio, a stack of cassettes and a naive sense of musical superiority (everyone else, was after all, listening to Vertical...

Playlist: Holy Matrimahoney (Part 2)
This is Part 2 of the wedding playlist I’m putting together for the technically-weds (registered but yet to be ceremonied) Edwin and Ai Lin.
It’s decidedly more low-key compared to Part 1, so as to subdue the drunkards and overeager dancers as the night winds down. That’s how it normally works, right? Right?
Settle Down - Kimbra
To Be Surprised - Sondre Lerche
Maps - Yeah...

Video games killed the Delfino star
The last 2-3 years of my life have, for the most part, been overwhelmingly dominated by the pedantry of adulthood and working life. I suppose it’s an inevitability: the unbridled recklessness of youth and the pursuit of adventure eventually takes a backseat to paying bills, saving for the future, matrimonial best man duties, trading in sneakers for loafers and such.
Over the span of the...
