How the Gamer Changed from Hero to Villain

Posted on 20. May, 2010 by Connor Beaton.

I’m not going to talk about gaming as an art form, or how hardcore gamers are no longer the target market; no, I’m going to talk about how the morals of the gamer – you and I and everybody else reading this – have changed.

Confessions of a Gamer

Posted on 19. Oct, 2009 by Connor Beaton.

When you reach a point in your life where you’ve played so many games that you begin using Half-Life 2 crossbow tactics in a snowball fight, you’re going to come up against a bunch of awful side effects, including regretting virtual actions. I know what you’re thinking: “that’s pretty stupid, it’s just a game, hahaha”, but hear me out before you dismiss me as mentally retarded or damaged.

How To Make A Grilled Cheese In The Microwave

These are the five simple steps to follow if you want to make a grilled cheese in the microwave.

The Smoking Stigma

Something I've been hearing a lot of lately (actually, for the past two decades) is that smoking ordinary cigarette is a poor life choice. Sure, the body of evidence about the drug's physiological effects is conclusive, but there's more to a life choice than "is it healthy for my body".

Thoughts on the Skype purchase

I've never been a big user of Skype. I downloaded it a few years ago so I could have a quick conversation or two with somebody I'd never met. I decided it wasn't really for me, so I stopped using it and forgot about it, and have never had any reason to install it on this PC. Still, I have to admit that I find Microsoft's $8.5 billion purchase intriguing.

Pets

Scruffy animals that live in your house and eat your food.

My Thoughts on Dumb People

Because they certainly aren't going to be doing much thinking, are they?

Tone Deaf Dubbing

Subtitles do distract, but they do not corrupt and defile either. Please have this in mind, the next time you are watching a dub.

Glenn Beck: You will be sorely missed

The cancellation of your show pains me almost as much as watching your show.

"Scientists"

Science: it's all a big conspiracy.

Keeping Drugs Illegal Is a Terrible Idea

Most people see drug legalization as a fight with two sides: one side consisting of strongly anti-drug people who would support another prohibition, the other consisting of a bunch of stoners who treat drugs like a way of life. When was the last time you heard a proper debate on drug legalization?

Might Makes Right: How the US Government Controlled Panama and the People

The United States claims to be a democracy.

Parenting from the Dark Ages

Parents are human; they've got to be good at something.

The number one threat to modern society

I remember a time, way, way back, when we weren't afraid. A time when everyone was safe, was happy. When I look outside today, all I can think about is how far we've fallen as a society.

Psychiatry and Charity

It would be great if we could finally throw the idea of psychiatry out the window, but it's never going to happen as long as charities like this one keep popping up everywhere.

Games I Played In 2010

I really want to restart Spirit Tracks; that was one of the most original Zelda games I've played in a while. Minecraft, Dragon Quest IX, and Picross 3D have been my most recent sources of crack. I'd say my "Game of the Year" is Minecraft. Its burrowed itself in the deepest depths of my OCD and hasn't let go.

The New Web Times

"Imagine a world where people don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to do simple tasks," Gates wrote. "The very idea makes me shudder."
