About me

Ah, the online bio, one of the most important things that you can ever write, anywhere! Heh. It's always a challenge trying to figure out what to put in these things. Should I talk about my passion for platypus racing? Maybe not. Perhaps a list of my favorite types of scented furniture oils? Well, I don't know who would be interested in that. I don't even know if I'm interested in that. I guess to break it down to the simplest terms, I'm a guy in my 30's, I live in NJ, and I currently make my living as The Little Man Inside the TV Who Makes it Work, otherwise known as a Master Control Operator for a local news station. I'm also engaged to the most wonderful woman on the planet. If luck is finite, I used up a good chunk of mine when she agreed to marry me. I've been writing for as long as I can remember, it's what keeps me(relatively) sane, it's what I'm passionate about, and it's how I want to make my living. I enjoy all manner of geeky things such as comics, movies, books, science fiction, and video games, but music, current events and politics are things that get me fired up as well.

I firmly believe that sarcasm is not the lowest form of humor, and just about anything can be dealt with effectively if you can just find what's funny in the situation, because let's face it, just about anything is funny if you look at it the right way.

My passion is ...

writing

I know too much about ...

Star Wars, Music, Movies, Video Games and several other things a guy in his 30's may have no business knowing so much about.

My childhood ambition ...

First, it was to be Spider-Man, later to be a Palentologist, later a Marine Biologist before I settled on wanting to be a writer somewhere in my teens.

Why I write ...

I write because I can't help it, and because it keeps me somewhat sane. Well, sane enough to remain at large anyway.

My inspiration ...

I get inspired by totally random things, from a snatch of conversation I overhear, to a weird sign on the freeway.

Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Video game reviews: Star Wars- The Force Unleashed (Xbox 360)

So, after playing through the game twice, I will say that I find all the negative reviews that are being given to the game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed rather baffling. Is the game perfect? No, it isn't. There are some issues with it. However, the only issue I really had any problem with is the fact that the targeting, especially when trying to use Force Grip can be very sloppy. Yes, many times when you're about to pick up one thing using The Force, you accidentally pick up something else. However, I found that after playing awhile, I got used to it, and it really didn't bother me as muc...
