I think I finally figured out Bioshock Infinite. Not the ending. The ending is pretty straightforward, so long as you’re paying attention. [Quick Note: Obviously, this article is going to deal in quite a lot of SPOILERS, so if you haven’t played it and plan to, just stop here.] In fact, in some ways the … More Bioshock and the Horror of the Infinite [SPOILERS]
Let me preface this by saying that I am, and have been for quite a while, a big comic book nerd. When Iron Man came out in theaters and Nick Fury popped up on screen, I was the only one who went apeshit when he said “Avengers Initiative.” I am familiar with all of Batman … More 4 Reasons Why Living in the Marvel Universe is Horrifying

Well, so much for my plan of updating this blog regularly. There’s no one reason why, combination of new Legend of Zelda videogames and actually working a job that requires me to go to bed at a reasonable hour.

It’s amazing how little work can be done in a week. This session, despite having all of TWO WEEKS to do the homework (Spring Break) for my classes, I managed to do despicably little and had to rush to get everything finished on time. I really need to learn better planning skills. And, neatly enough, that’s … More ENG 5310 Readings, Week 7
For some reason the factual titles seem to work better than the more creative ones. Not sure why that is… maybe kooky three-word titles are way too common? Anyway, I’ll try going back to the old one and see how that affects readership. This week’s readings were all about using computers in the classroom. While … More ENG 5310 Readings, Week 6
I have a problem with Shipka’s Toward a Composition Made Whole. Specifically, I feel like I’m one of the people she’s writing against. Shipka seems not to be writing about methods of using technology and the different rhetorical implications, so much as writing about varied and experimental ways of writing. She proudly tells of a … More Shoes and Standards
