Grandma’s bypass surgery was February 16th. It’s now almost May and and the first glimmer of normalcy is creeping into Grandma’s overstressed life in the form of getting utterly pissed off at Professional Mode in Resident Evil 5 on her 360. The past month and a half of never-ending hospital visits, close scares, and doctor’s appointments definitely rank as the most pain she has ever felt in

Grandma and I haven’t posted anything in a little while. It’s only fair that you folks know why.The short of it is this: Grandma has been in and out of the hospital since just after the holidays. Her back pain got to the point where something had to be done. She’s been to several specialists to see if anything could be diagnosed, let alone treated. The medication wasn’t helping, so under

I know I can’t keep the schedule right at the moment, so I’ll post a video of what she’s playing today.She got CoD: World at War for Christmas, which she’s still trying to defeat on Veteran mode. Fallout 3 is pretty much as done as you can get, but she didn’t really want to go back through and play as a Neutral character because it just doesn’t seem as fun as being an absolute saint or a

Okay!Here is what I’ve been up to: Work work work work work work work. I don’t think I’ve played a game in months. It makes me sad.Here’s what Grandma has been up to: NCAA Football 08′, Metal Gear Solid 4, F.E.A.R., Infinite Undiscovery, Fable II, Resistance 2, and now Fallout 3.She just started Fallout 3 and Resistance 2, so there isn’t much to say yet. But I can give you a quick rundown

I’m a news photographer. That’s my day job. Every instance I get to shoot an assignment, make some composition, some ethical choice- to say "no, I can’t shoot it this way, because that would be masking truth" or "no, I can’t Photoshop the levels so much that the picture looks awesome because it’s going too far", I get that self-righteous feeling of glee that comes from knowing I did something

The ride from the hotel to Universal Studios was a quick one. The facility was, literally, just across the street. Grandma chatted a bit with Peter, an actor living in New York a little younger than me who sported a UK accent. He was a pleasant, cordial sort of dude."I wonder what it’s going to be like!" was the comment of the trip, it seemed.-"It’s probably a bunch of fucking big empty

Grandma was four under par by the time I had finished eating some cold pizza. I awkwardly asked someone if I could go outside for a quick smoke. "That’s what the badges are for," she said, pointing at the "Visitor Pass–Escort Required" card clipped to my shirt. I left the conference room that housed the dying rehearsal party and walked past the security guard, pointing at my badge like I

Gather ’round my children; grab a stool and a stoop of ale and hear of flying machines, lizards and beasts unknown; insane cab drivers with GPS devices and waitresses and drinking and other vices. Hear of directors and producers and freelance PA’s. Hear of actors and actresses and NDA’s. Grandma auditioned for a commercial directed by Errol Morris promoting a new EA game (which we cannot

Okay! Grandma will probably do another vCast pretty soon, but I’ll preempt it with a bit of an update on how she’s doing and what she’s playing.First up, because I know everybody’s curious, Grand Theft Auto IV:Solid fucking game. You empathize with the characters and the story. The over-the-shoulder shooting style rocks, particularly with the auto-aim feature. Gorgeous graphics yet- it’s

There was maybe about 30 people when we got there tonight; about a hundred or so when we left.Also: there was Eric. Eric was dressed as a banana for some inexplicable reason; defying the art of logic in a Dada like display of neo-post-absurdist joy.He was cool.Game on!
