Here's a miscellaneous grab bag of things I have written on the internet over the years. Most of them seem inextricably tied to a piece of entertainment media. Indeed, my lack of true originality pains me.

Of Morphing and Ginger Ale: A Curious Comparison
I discover an unlikely connection between two of my favourite childhood book series.

Freeman and Alyx: Ep1 spoof
I didn't like Half-Life 2: Episode 1.
While it did involve shooting enemy aliens which is a rather strong staple of the series, it lacked the sort of thing that made playing the game pleasurable as opposed to a mind numbing sequence of interactions that you pay thirty bucks for. Every so often, a particularly bad design decision or overdone cliché would break through my stupor and slap me around the back of the head.
My mood after completing the game was bitter, sarcastic, and so I dealt with it by writing this.

Some suggestions for the future storylines and plot of Exterminatus Now
The team behind a good quality webcomic gets some utterly unwanted and unneeded advice on how their webcomic should develop.
I was to follow this up with a similarly themed post some somewhat later with a suggestion for a new character that could be added to the EN team.

Things I think could have improved "Spring, Summer Autumn, Winter... and Spring" (Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom)

This is a movie released back in 2003 and which I watched randomly.

I like Action movies, can you tell?
