Last night, I was fired from my high-profile, well-paying gig as a janitor at my college’s student union. It sucked. On top of that, I’ve had to contend with my worst cold in years, being poor due to the holidays, and classes that’ll suck the life out of me this semester. So, needless to say, I had a shitty day. That is, until this afternoon, when I spent about 6 hours playing Psychonauts. It’s amazing how the pure unbridled genius of Tim Freaking Schaefer can totally turn a depressing day around.

Speaking of Psychonauts, one of our topsause blogs contains a damn fine pic of Rasputin! Also, we’ve got blogs detailing the downfall of VG music, broken controllers, and how not to play a video game.
