  • To an extent this is my marriage. My wife and I both own our own companies. Mine is much more established and therefore offers me some leeway on my in office time (I’m an accountant). This means I often spend more time taking care of our children. I also cook, make grocery store trips, clean (to an extent), etc. She still helps around the house which isn’t ad much as it used to be. But I see her working her ass off so I don’t complain.

    As for protecting me…no. I’m a pretty large dude. 6’3" 250. So unfortunately when things go bump in the night ya boi gets to go investigate.





  • I had one seizure as a kid (febrile) and one very brief one as an adult. I had been awake for like 26-27 hours at this point. I went to work really early the night before and worked all the way through the day and finally went home around 10. My friends wanted to midnight release the second transformers movie so I went too. There was a trailer for one of the Harry Potter movies with a dementor flying over a city. I remember my eyes rolling back and convulsing for about 6-7 seconds. My buddy next to me looked at me and said, “dude what the fuck was that?” I responded with, “I don’t know, I think I just had a seizure.” We watched the movie I fell asleep, didn’t like it that much.



  • Volition has been a long standing company with a slew of awesome games. They did a ton with THQ like 20 years ago that were amazing.

    Summoner is one of my favorite games to date. It didn’t age well, but the story was amazing.

    The descent games were intense as well.

    I couldn’t find it on their wiki page, but I’m pretty sure they had a hand in loads of wrestling games in the late 90’s early 2000’s. WWF no mercy, smack down 1-4 as well.

    As for saints row, I beat 1-3. The storyline to the first was unmatched by any GTA storyline. It was a shame to see them slink away from the original due to ridicule of being a “GTA clone.” The story was compelling, the voice acting outside of johnny gat was decent. The multiplayer experience offered far more than anything GTA had at the time. The best we got for GTA was in 2008 when they released their free roam multiplayer with GTA 4. By then saints row 2 had full coop.

    Case and point. You’re either too young to know this developer in their prime, too retarded to recognize the loss of a good developer (albeit they haven’t put out much in the last few years), or both.
