“I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a worshipper of Talos.
But you don’t need to attend the Temple of the Nine to know that there’s something wrong in Skyrim when gays and cat people and lizards and shit can serve openly in the the Imperial Legion, but true sons of Skyrim can’t openly celebrate the apotheosis of Talos or pray at his shrines without being kidnapped [...]

You may have noticed the extreme paucity of posting here. I’ve been busy with work I’ve had a lot going on in my life I’ve been playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim every moment I’m not working, eating, or sleeping. Or watching my wife play.

Trigger Warning: Misogynistic language especially targeting feminists and sex workers, and pathetic attempts to excuse it.
“Troll Wrangling” is an occasional feature where, at risk of my fragile sanity, I plug deep into the comment threads of the latest controversy, lasso up a choice selection of the most mindless comments I can find, and drag ‘em back here for our own sport. Is it wrong to take people’s opinions and respond to them here, where they can’t defend themselves? A better question to ask: Do I care?
“Feminist Whore.” That, apparently, is what an anonymous programmer working on the recently-released [...]

For all the complaining that video game enthusiasts make about being stereotyped as homophobic, sexist white guys spewing hateful epitaphs like sewage from a broken pipe, signing into most multiplayer games with a chat function, gaming forums or comment threads on gaming blog reveals… an awful lot of homophobic, sexist [...]

To get the blog up and running, I thought I’d post the content of my “About Me” page here, as a post, where you can comment and say hi. And also so you’ll actually see it. These are some of the things I think I am, or at least what will be relevant to this blog.
